There are several different statistics that are important when attempting to describe the ships of Vendetta Online. Below is a table explaining the most important terms:
| Ship Stats | Description |
|---|---|
| Type | The name of the ship and Mark Variant (MkI-II-III-IV-V) |
| Faction | What faction sells the ship, always faction specific if used. |
| Faction Level | What standing you need to have with that faction to buy the ship. |
| Level | What license levels you need to buy the ship. |
| Variant | Manufacturer's suggested use for the ship. |
| Armor | How much armor a ship has. Higher is better. |
| Cargo | How much cargo a ship can carry. |
| Weapons | The number and size of weapon ports available on ship. S: Small Ports, L: Large Ports. |
| Mass | The mass of a ship. Less mass equals better maneuverability. The numerical representation of ship's inertia |
| Length | Length of the ship from nose to tail. |
| Thrust | How much force the ship has to accelerate and decelerate without turbo. Higher is better. |
| Turbo Thrust | How much force the ship has to accelerate and decelerate using turbo. Higher is better. |
| Max Speed | The maximum non-boost speed in any direction. |
| Spin Torque | Ship's ability to change its rotation. Higher is better. |
| Turbo Speed | The maximum boost speed a ship can attain. |
| Turbo Energy | How much energy per second the turbo drains. The lower the better. |
In classical mechanics, for a body with constant mass, the acceleration of the body is proportional to the resultant (total) force acting on it (Newton's second law):
F = m.a → a = F/m
where F is the resultant force acting on the body, m is the mass of the body, and a is its acceleration.
In VO, the mass of the ship must be added to the mass of the addons and its cargo. So an empty moth accelerates faster than a loaded moth, and a ship without any weapons will accelerate faster than the same ship when armed, but their final velocity will be the same. This applies to Thrust, Turbo Thrust and Spin Torque.
