Enemies (ES2)

**Enemies** in *Everspace 2* are the variety of neutral or hostile ships that Hero encounters throughout his journey through Cluster 34 and the Demilitarized Zone. Typically each is part of several specific Factions.

## Enemy Types

Similarly to player ships, enemy fighters can be grouped into light, medium, and heavy fighter classes. However, there are also larger capital ships of varying size in some factions which are much larger than standard fighters, and drones which are somewhat smaller than fighters. Each enemy has a unique set of equipment and attributes. Additionally, fighter-class enemies have a chance to be "elite', which means they have higher stats as well as adjusted AI tactics.

On the HUD, class and type indicators are shown for on-screen tagged enemies which are neither locked nor being hovered over, color-coded based on hostility status (red for hostile, green for allied, gray for neutral, and yellow for neutral law enforcement).

* Elite/Mk. 2 Elite:  /
* Creatures:
* Drones: Combat, Anti-Missile, Armor, Cargo, Detonator, Heater, Shield, Sniper, Suppressor, Webber
* Turrets:

Higher-class enemies have higher loot quality (number & quality of drops). For example, a drone's has much lower loot quality compared to a heavy fighter such as an Outlaw Bomber, and capital ships such as the Outlaw Destroyer have some of the greatest loot quality.
