The M3 class ships are fighters. They have stronger weapons but lower speed than M4/M5 ships. If piloted by a good pilot they can take out most ships in the universe. For example, M6 and even M7 ships if you are patient enough.

M3+ is a recent development featuring stronger shields and weapons at the expense of speed. M3+ ships are heavy fighters. A recent development based on Bala Gi's research. The M3+ class has found a home in all Commonwealth fleets.

Note that an M3+ designation does not exist in the game. These ships are classified as M3 in-game, however, they are slower, more potent, and better defended than their counterparts so they are given an alternate designation in the community.
