There are several variants that provide increased armor, more weapon ports, or more space for cargo. This ship will probably not be used once you have access to your first fighter and trading class vessels, the [[Centurion]] and [[Revenant]]. However, the EC-89, being free, is commonly used as a shuttle when transferring spacecraft between stations. <br><br> The EC-88 is the antiquated version of the EC-89, and is the origin of the term "Bus" that is used in regards to the EC class of ships. It is also the ship displayed on the Bus Hunter badge. Its stats are the same as the EC-89's.|}
