Summary[]

Types of AI ships[]

Cargo ships[]

Cargo ships are ships owned by natural AI Factions, and are similar to Freighters. If attacked and damaged, cargo ships will drop cargo; however watch out as they will fight back and call the Sentinels.

Pirates[]

Pirates are AI ships that will attack players or cargo ships at random.

Traders[]

Traders are small ships found flying around and they land on space stations and any structures with a Landing Pad. Players can walk up to a ship and trade with it while it is landed and will have the option to buy the ship at that time. They also sometimes land on normal ground and sell illegal upgrade modules.

Sentinels[]

Sentinels are also in space. They appear when a player receives a Wanted level while in space.
