The Nova is a good all-rounder in the VHF ship class. Moderate speed, average weapon power and shields on the heavier side. The Nova and its Raider variant are popular choices for pilots looking for a very heavy fighter.
The Outcasts Nova features an average speed, heavy shields, and good firepower. Combat in the Nova is simple; point and shoot.
The Nova Raider remedies the primary deficiency in the Nova design, speed. It is a great ship of choice, with powerful shielding and weaponry.

The Discoverer is aptly named, given that it fills the scouting role in the GMG. Classed as a HF, the Discoverer has decent combat capability, but some particularly daredevil pilots have been known to challenge CapShips in these crafts. While few have survived, some have proved that speed can make all the difference.
The GMG Discoverer compared to other ships in the GMG Fleet, is relatively young. Medium armed, it is versatile, and very manoeuverable. It is also the preferred training fighter for GMG pilots. Today they are also used for scouting and it is quite common to find a small wing of these ships accompanying an exploration craft.
Pirate variants are faster and usually have a higher shield generator power than their regular counterparts, but trade off cargo capacity and some have reduced shield capacity despite the more powerful generator.
