ROUGH SKETCH

Capship revamps.


Descriptions: (stats below)

Battleships Classes:

Dreadnaught: The biggest of all the ships in the game. Massive flying fortresses with a huge array of turrets and an energy core to power them. Their large hulls leave plenty of room for a ton of armor. Though this armor and size reduces its agility low enough to make in-battle manuevering barely useful unless in fleet combats. Should barely, if at all, get through asteroid fields.

Assault: A very balanced ship. Great for pirate factions hoping for some power to combat house battleships. good armor, decent firepower and energy, with a medium size and agility make this a good all-around capship.

Battlecruiser: In essence a heavy cruiser. Small size, great agility, but with reductions in turret number, armor, and energy. The user would need to exploit its agility to the fullest in any battleship fights. The small size also helps in dodging, making slower, high-damaging weapons difficult to use. But if the pilot turns on the bigger ship to use its own heavy weapons, it could be hit alot easier. Best for someone who doesn't like slugging matches, but prefers dodging and taking potshots to win.


Cruiser Classes:

Attack Cruiser: Heaviest and most firepower of all the cruisers. Has most turrets of all cruisers, but the large size makes it vulnerable to fighters. However the amount of firepower and armor, coupled with a large power core make it a danger to Battlecruisers. Low agility, but more than a battlecruiser.

Light Cruiser: Balanced. Good armor and firepower, with decent agility. Enough energy to power some turrets. Good against fighters, or other cruisers. Good for fleet support and light defense.

Destroyer: Smallest of the cruiser class, granting it the most agility of all of them. That agility is coupled with the smallest turret number, but a power core to be able to use those turrets for a time. Low armor. Used best as a "behind the lines" cruiser, to go and harrass the backup ships, or strip turrets off of battleships.



Gunboat Classes:

Intercetor: These are the heavy hitters of the gunboats. Used as a anti-capship platform. Can stand up to a destroyer-class ship if used correctly. Good armor and good firepower combined with the agility of a heavy gunboat. Smaller turret number, but enough energy to power heavy weapons (infernos and battlerazors) for a decent amount of time. Best used as fleet supporters to go in with or without a destroyer class ship and strip battleships of their weapons. Can also assist in destroying cruisers. A destroyer with an Interceptor gunboat should be enough to take out an Attack Cruiser.

Point Defense: The fighter's nightmare. Great agility coupled with a large turret number allow this ship to fit alot of anti-fighter turrets onto it. Energy core is small however, and there is little energy left for anything but small anti-fighter weapons like chainguns. Only usefulness in fleet combat is as fighter cover. Best used as patrol ships, or ships to use against small pirate bases. Great as escorts. This ship, because of its smaller size and agility, carries less armor and is easily destroyed by a cruiser if hit a few times by heavy weaponry.
