Star Conflict is a Space Shooter MMO which places heavy emphasis on game balance. There are many ships you can fly, many active / passive modules , ship upgrades, types of weapons you can use, so you can customize your ship to fit any specific role you want it to, from a support frigate that heals alies' shield and hull constantly to a heavy bruiser that warps in in the heat of the battle and lays down destruction all around with it's heavy guns.
It feels like there's an infinity of roles you can play.
First of all you have 3 races, Empire, Federation and Jericho. Each race has 2 factions, you can level up your reputation to get access to specific Mark 3 gear from each faction, each tier of gear has 3 upgrade levels, mark 3 gear is only obtainable from reputation.
Each race has a linear skill system also, meaning each level you get a new skill, idealy you should have all 3 leveled up to max to get the most precise combination, for example :empire gives a 7% increase to damage, while federation gives a 50% increase damage to your criticals, you chose.
There are 3 types of ships : interceptors (fast and light), fighters (medium ships) and frigates ( the slowest and most durable)
frigates are the only ships with sniper module and a missile you can pilot yourself to it's destinatioin, allowing you to just sit back and defend base while hitting targets on the other side of the battlefield, the drawback is while you're busy sniping a nasty interceptor might get behind you, disable your guns, modules and engines and start gunning you down from your blindspot. It is impossible for a frigate to turn around and shoot if the interceptor pilot isn't a complete noob that is.
Each race has a specific type of special ability:
Empire has overdrive, 66% increased move speed,attack speed,turn rate for 10 seconds
microwarpdrive, 2.5 second charge time and then you move 28 times faster for 2 seconds (about 10km)
empire frigates have the sniper module
Federation ships can cloak, put a DOT and summon drones
Jericho (didn't play them much) have that remote controled missile and I forgot ;) . Though I can't wait to start using them

there is a TON of gear you can chose from. I like to make glass canon ships with cloak

bottom line is this game IS for everyone, even if you are skilless you can just jump in a frigate, make it tanky and support your team, or you can jump in an interceptor with the hitpoints of a fly and fly around at 500 m/s being untouchable and driving people mad because they can't hit you and show off your l33t sk1llz

Also the game mechanics are simple to understand but complex to master, extremely balanced. there is NO best ship, not by far
