Here is the current fleet listing for each of the races. Please note that they are subject to changes and what posted here may not be the final product seen when the mod is released.
This information is exclusive to this site.
Descriptions of the different hull classifications
Combat Ships
Frigate: The lightest combat vessel of any fleet. These ships are small and fast, but only have light shielding and only carry phased weaponary.
Destroyer: Small combat vessels that are the lightest vessels in the fleet to be equipped with torpedoes. Many of these ships are fairly fast and use some of the most up to date technology a Empire has.
Light Cruiser: The smallest of the cruiser hulls. Light cruisers are often used for patrols where a destroyer or frigate do not have enough firepower. These vessels are equipped with both plasma and torpedo weaponary.
Medium Cruiser: Slightly smallier and less powerful than a heavy cruiser. The medium cruiser is an excellent alternative to a light cruiser. These vessels fill a much needed gap in any fleet and are quite often seen in fleet skirmishes.
Heavy Cruiser: The most common combat ship in service. Heavy cruisers are frontline vessels and are often involved in dog fights and hostilities with their neighbours heavy cruisers. More costlt than the medium cruiser, the heavy cruiser is also more powerful in both shield and weapon technology.
Assault Carrier: Around the size of a medium to heavy cruiser and the power of a light to medium cruiser. Assault Carriers are rarely seen unless they are required in special operations. They are armed with light weaponry designed to drain and destroy a targets shields. They are filled with a large complement of troops for use in boarding actions again enemy ships and installations.
Dreadnaught: Vessels of this class are more designed for combat than the heavy cruisers. They specialize with torpedo weaponary and can do extraordinary amounts of damage in a short time. These vessels are also very costly and time consuming to produce.
Battleship: A new class of hull. Battleships are very rare and are usually used as command ships to co-ordinate fleets and battles. These vessels are by far the most powerful and expensive ships in the game. Expect to take on many vessels with these, their power vary depending on the race who constructed them.
Non-Combatants
Construction Rig: A rig or more commonly known as a construction vessel is used to carry supplies and equipment to build space born facilities. These vessels have moderate shielding but no offensive capabilities.
Freighter: Vessels of this hull class are unarmed and are used to gather natural resources from asteroids, nebulae and moons. They deliver these materials to processing plants that process them to be used in ship and station construction.
Cargo Vessel: Commonly known as a cargo ship or freighter, these ships travel between trading ports and help fuel an Empires economy by trading and buying goods. Like the freighter and rig these vessels are unarmed and only carry moderate shielding.
Colonizer: Colony ships transport civilians along with a barrack of military personnel to a chosen planet to start a colony and upon colonization these vessels are dismantled to form the first stage of the colony. Colonies are ripe places to recruit new cadets to be trained into military personnel.
Repair Vessel: Vessels of this type carry a large amount of engineers that transport over to help repair a vessel or facility that is in need of assistance.
