The EC line of ships is the first ship you have access to, it excels at nothing but is decent in everything. There are several variants that provide increased armor, more weapon ports, or more space for cargo. This ship will probably not be used once you have access to your first fighter and trading class vessels, the Centurion and Wraith. However, the EC-89, being free, is commonly used as a shuttle when transferring spacecraft between stations.


Game's Description

The EC family of multipurpose spacecraft forms the broad base of general ship use in the galaxy. Originally designed and manufactured as a transport by TPG during the early years of UIT off world colonization, it now sees wide use with all nations. Whether the needs are basic combat, light transport duty, even mining or other special-case uses, the EC series can handle it all. IT is not considered a specialized ship, but there are many variants of it that lend themselves better to one type of use or another. For instance, the Axia EC-101 MkII provides heavier armor for combat use, while the Valent EC-101 Type B includes expanded cargo capacity for trading or transport usage.
