Due to its considerable bulk, a bulwark starship benefits greatly from abilities that can restore its Hull Points consistently. Your crew might consider adding a drone console with a repair drone. If your crew has a mystic, they might help keep your starship fighting fit with a magic conduit and a mystic magic module upgrade. In exchange for its impressive durability and extended sensor range, the bulwark has a reduced movement Speed. Your crew can offset this drawback by adding a powerful thrusters upgrade to your pilot's console to grant your starship additional mobility when needed.

Compared to the bulwark, which derives its durability from its high Hull Points, the explorer survives difficult battles by making use of its large Shield Point pool. Thanks to its default pulse shield upgrade, the explorer can use its generator offensively. A crew will want to have one or more crew members consistently generating Shield Points to keep the explorer afloat, whether at the generator or at the magic conduit.
Due to its high sensor range and decent mobility, the explorer is a great frame for starships that use battle stations other than the gunnery to affect other starships along the sensor map.

The skirmisher uses its high movement Speed and rotational thrusters to get behind enemies and catch them off-guard while also being able to fire its ordnance weapons with consistency.
A coordinated crew can turn a skirmisher starship into a deadly weapon that cleans up a battlefield at a moment's notice. It'll inevitably take damage and be put into risky positions, so a skirmisher greatly benefits from battle stations that can increase its defensive capabilities or restore its Hull Points and Shield Points.
