EV Ships Guide is a player-written companion document for Ambrosia Software's Escape Velocity by Brandon Miquel. It catalogs every ship in the game with the standard stat tables found in other guides, then layers on a personal opinion of each vessel so prospective pilots can pick a hull that actually fits how they want to play.
What it covers
The guide reproduces the full ship reference data found in earlier EV ship lists, including the canonical specs for every flyable vessel in Matt Burch's space trader, alongside the author's commentary on strengths and weaknesses.
How it differs
Where existing guides simply list numbers, this one offers an opinion on every ship to help players choose what to buy in-game rather than calculate optimum builds from raw stats alone.
