M8

M8 are bomber class vessels. Armed primarily with a large cargo bay and compatibility with heavy missiles, bombers provide a pint-sized and very lethal anti-capital platform, but their weapons can also be used effectively against smaller ships. They require the same docking capacities as the M6 and TS classes, so cannot dock at Carriers. As such, they cannot carry large amounts of Energy Cells to fuel a jumpdrive so range is often limited when they are loaded with armaments.

M8 ships include:

• OTAS Auster
• Argon Gladiator
• Paranid Hades
• Split Viper
• Teladi Peregrine
• Terran Claymore

The Boron Marlin Hauler was removed from Terran Conflict in an early patch.

In Albion Prelude, there is also:

• Boron Marlin
