ES Swallow Class – Exploration Ships
The Swallow class are fast and affordable exploration vessels manufactured by EuroSpace Industries. Their excellent speed and acceleration paired with several point defense guns make travel very safe. They are therefore also a great option for paid exploration contracts. The class’ larger vessels are also suited scout enemy positions from a safe distance and even call in the slower rest of the fleet via hyperspace beacon. The two starter vessels are the previously known "Migrant class" ships that received an update and got integrated into the new Swallow class.
