Spaceship Classes Overview

"You want to know about space ships... there's a lot to know on that subject."

Space ships have many forms, shapes, and range from very small automated drones to massive flying fortresses.
Currently only military/combat ships are here. Working on proper civilian ship classifications still.

Capital Ships

Main article: Capital and Super Capital Overview
Quick Nav: Capital ships (here) | Sub Capitals | Strike craft
Standard FTL: Hyperdrive.
Capital ships are the biggest ships around, though they are rarely, if ever, alone. More often than not supported by a fleet of smaller ships. People still tend to avoid staying in their line fire, and for good reason.

Titan

"Titans... big ships, all of them that I know of are flagships. "
Main Article: Titan, Sub-Class: Super-Carrier. Rough Size: 3 - 4 km / 2 - 4 . 5 mi longest dimension.
Titans, also often called Flagships, are among the most intimidating ships to be around. These are often mobile command centers for the main combat fleet of the faction they belong to. Heavily armored, and armed with devastating weapons that make anything smaller stay well out of the line-of-fire. They cast a shadow on most of the fleet that is never far from them.

Dreadnought

"Dreadnoughts, still pretty big, but hard to compare to titans. Usually they are carriers if I recall correctly? Still scary to be around."
Main Article: Dreadnought, Sub-Class: Carrier. Rough Size: 1 . 5 - 2 km / 1 mi longest dimension.
