THE BELTERS

The Belters are the most adaptable and resourceful of all factions. Their
lack of standardization, however, makes their research more difficult and
expensive, although they can reverse-engineer almost anything. Their ships generally
lack shields but are compensated with better armor.

Advantages

Captured technology can be freely copied.
Stealth fighters and scouts have limited-endurance boosters.
Interceptors and fighters can carry nontracking missiles.

Disadvantages

Technology is more expensive and takes longer to research.
Stealth fighters can only use small shields. Fighters and scouts cannot use shields at all.
