can you compare ships that you own?

[Steven Silverheart]

Like comparing the stats etc?

No... I use to make a photo which shows me the Inventar and the stats :)

Quick overview - Stand somewhere near the steps in your freighter hangar, you should be able to see most ships at the same time. Use your helmet scanner to show the stats.

If you can't quite get a good angle or close enough for scan range, then take a screenshot of each ship's stat screen and flip between (as Musashi suggested above).

thats also a nice way :)

Unless they are the exact same type...not really much point in comparing. The class are really all you need to know (i.e. S class is best).

I used a C class 40 slot hauler in one play through and the game was designed that a C class can take on anything in the game. Once you have a ship higher than C class, it is like boiling water...it never really gets any hotter. The numbers just tell you how many times over you could take out a pirate or sentinel.

Okay, the warp distance is a relevant stat.

In my experience comparison is a somewhat tedious affair, necessitating as it does that I occupy each ship in turn to perform a fair and balanced study. The numbers don't add up otherwise.

• Damage potential seems a little... off
  
• Shielding appears consistent - unlike almost everything else
  
• In addition to a minuscule discrepancy between jump range as shown and the actual figure the game uses, the formula behind the 'core' stat produces heavily inflated results if any upgrades are present
  
• Core manoeuvrability as viewed through the analysis visor is always that of my current ship; any added bonuses, even if correctly applied, result in a less-than-perfect reading.

Put simply: everything but the shield value is misrepresented in some fashion.
