## Choose your role

With 20 Ships in STFU, there will be plentiful opportunities for players to learn and grow with the game, providing ample choices for play styles and matchmaking.&#x20;

Ship types are arranged in classes that define their role in missions.&#x20;

* Assault
* Defense
* Miner
* Hauler
* Engineer

Every ship will include its primary class as well as a sub-class that further defines its role on the battlefield.

## Specialize your ship

Every ship has a personalized [Tech Tree](/stfu/the-ships/tech-trees.md) with upgrades to further specialize their style of play.

## Modify your ship

Additionally, each ship will have several modification slots ([Mods](/stfu/the-ships/performance-mods.md)) for further customization of both the way the ship looks and how it plays. These can be aquired through gameplay and through [Crafting](/stfu/the-ships/crafting.md).<br>
