| valign="top" | 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|Centurion]] and [[wraith|Wraith]]. However, the EC-88, being free, is commonly used as a shuttle when transferring spacecraft between stations.
