These titles indicate they are the deadspace (i.e., complex or mission) variant of a pirate faction.
The variations are as follows:
Pithum = Guristas
Corpii = Blood Raiders
Centum = Sansha's Nation
Corelum = Serpentis
Gistii = Angel Cartel
As far as I know, there are no functional differences between deadspace and "normal" rats.

I'd always wondered this too.
Do those words stand for anything or have any meaning, or is it simply a word to give significance.

Corpus = Body
Core = Core
Centus = Center
Pith = Substance, also the material located in the center of plants
Gist = Spirit
In all cases, the name implies that these ships comprise the main component of their respective factions.
The other variants (Corpii, Centum, etc.) are just diminutives of these.

Pith = Guristas
Gist = Angels
Core = Serpentis
Corp = Blood Raiders
Cent = Sanshas
-ii = Friagtes
-um = Cruisers
-ior/lior = Destroyers
-tatis/atis = Battlecruisers
The normal names are battleships, save for some exceptions (Centus, Corpus)
The Dire, Loyal, Elder etc. means that the NPC in question is an elite one.
Dread, True, Dark etc. means it is a commander NPC (faction).

Thanks, it makes a lot more sense now and i can tell what they are flying from the overview. |

The asteroid version of each NPC are no different in terms of HP and abilities. Their bounty is slightly higher than that of their deadspace counterparts.
The asteroid ones don't have the suffixes at the end of their names, so it may be a slightly harder to identify them.
Bounties are a good way to identify them:
5,000 - 30,000 = Frigates - Elite Frigates
50,000 - 300,000 = Cruisers to Elite Cruisers
200,000 - 350,000 = Battlecruisers
Anything above is a commander or battleship NPC, the latter is usually given away by the huge + on the overview.
Forgot to mention destroyers... they are in the 10,000 - 18,000 range I think but I hardly consider them anything more than frigates. If necessary, they will die to a single volley or to 5 light drones in about 5 seconds. |
