OUTRIDER CLASS SCOUT has little real function in the Privateer fleet. It is small, has no cloaking device, only one engine and no combat potential. In a low money and low mineral game this ship's fuel tank does make for a cheap substitute for a Lady Royale early on.

BR4 CLASS GUNSHIP has a cloaking device, gravitonic accelerators and costs very little. Early on this ship can be useful for hunting down freighters and for scouting out the enemy. It is also a useful ship to trade to a prospective ally because it lacks torpedoes and is therefore less threatening to the privateer.

D7a PAINMAKER CLASS CRUISER has a smaller fuel tank than an Outrider, doesn't cloak and has a small cargo hold. For the expenditure, look elsewhere in the privateer fleet. The Lady Royale is a much better buy later and the Outrider is better early on.

SLITTLE PEST CLASS ESCORT has 6 beams for sweeping and that's the only realistic function of this ship. But for a small increase in cost, you can build the Dwarfstar and gain 11x the cargo and a cloaking device. If you want 6 beams for sweeping purposes, buy the Dwarfstar.

DWARFSTAR CLASS TRANPORT is an interesting ship for the Privateer. The 220 Cargo is really nice for robbing materials from an enemy, especially clans! Six beams make for a solid sweeper and the cloak allows the Dwarf to hide from enemies in some instances.
