What do people mean when they say they want an SSB ship?

Small Ship Build. The point of this build is to have the smallest damage cap possible while having a hard hitting ship yourself. This means having low decks and high Tactical Officers. Defense is basically useless in this build.

this should explain it a little bit and as mentioned above it's to have a lower damage cap. to be able to accomplish a ssb you need high artifact production. there are quite a few of these some that don't even use dominion cannons

Thanks for the reply.

this.



but not this. besides pvp, having a high damage tolerance can also be useful for npc'ing and to minimize repair costs. a ssb lazuli fixer with traps would also be inedible to all but the most belligerent attackers, so could go missioning in relative peace.
