Skyships Enemies: Ship Classes and Target Roles

Use the enemy's full name to match your selected target to an entry. Names such as Raider Wasp and Marauder Berkut identify enemy targets; for ships you can build and their progression branches, use the ship directory.

Class helps identify the target, while training use, bounty role and combat hazards help you decide whether to engage. Durability and Credit rewards labeled as examples apply to those encounters; a remaining-durability reading is not a ship's base durability.

  Combat hazard

  Incoming-missile warnings can occur during the fight.

  4 tier (The NPC attacker identified on the Ship Destroyed screen.)

For an active Field Training kill objective, Training Raider and Raider Hornet are useful targets. Training Raider kills can contribute toward the required three kills, and a Raider Hornet kill can advance the same counter. Training progress is therefore not restricted to enemies with “Training” in their name.

Enemy kills can also award Credits, including partial-damage participation. One Training Raider kill awarded 18 CR; a separate kill awarded 4 CR with 3% credited damage contribution. These are encounter rewards, not a fixed payout or a proportional reward formula.

For Bounty Hunt, follow the accepted contract's marker and destroy its named target. Wanted Grim Harrow is a Cruiser bounty target. Wanted Old Hook is a Destroyer that can be fought with AK-101, but the “Wanted” prefix alone does not make it the target of your current hunt. Match the name to your contract before diverting to attack. See contracts and their objectives for acceptance and reward details.

Marauder Gyurza is a Missile Carrier. Incoming-missile warnings can occur during the fight, so leave room to maneuver and keep an escape route available. Respond with evasive movement while watching your hull; reduce speed when a hull-stress warning tells you to slow down.

Event trips can also bring you into combat:

• Pirate Molot, a Cruiser, can be encountered near Meteor Strike.
• Marauder Berkut, a Destroyer, can be encountered during combat around a Crash Site trip.
• Warlord Revenant can be encountered on the approach to Crash Site, where incoming-missile warnings can interrupt the journey. Treat the warning as an immediate hazard without assuming every missile comes from the selected target.

These are encounter contexts, not guaranteed guards or exclusive spawn locations. Use the Crash Site and Meteor Strike guide to decide which signal to pursue.

Kuvalda is a T4 Cruiser NPC. Its explicit tier is a useful warning when choosing an engagement; don't treat it as interchangeable with a training target.

Prioritize enemies that advance your current objective: training targets for Field Training, or the exact named target for a bounty. If you're carrying unsecured cargo, consider docking before taking an optional fight.

Left-click an enemy to select it, then read its name, distance and durability. Move closer when your weapons show OUT OF RANGE, and turn toward the enemy when TARGET OUT OF VIEW appears. Press X to clear the target.

If you need to break off, Fort Cedar's SAFE ZONE makes hostile units disengage. Dock there to secure carried cargo. For the full targeting, warning-response and post-destruction recovery process, follow the Skyships combat guide.
