They are usually multi-personnel vessels with an array of defensive turrets. Which isn't saying much! With so much weight behind them, battleships are an expensive investment in both resources and time.

The battleship is the lowest class of capital vessels. They have been a central force of many major fleets, for they aren't expensive enough to warrant tears when they are lost, but are capable of delivering as much firepower as one would need in any situation. Lean and mean is an apt description.Ī high-efficiency battlecruiser can puncture the shields of a Calbiri-class vessel if given enough time. Many cruisers are built to speed up and slow down as fast as a fighter, and deliver as much firepower as possible. While it may not be able to turn as quickly as the light-weight vessels, cruisers do happen to strike a balance between acceleration and firepower. No matter what a battle may bring, a destroyer is sure to have an effect on it. Destroyers are often used to support larger vessels or as the lead vessel of a small fleet. They are massive enough to hunt down battleships while retaining some slight semblance of mobility.

Frigates are often outfitted as bomber-hunters during fleet operations.ĭestroyers are usually the mainstray of fleet warfare and make excellent pirate vessels. Frigates have enough mass to hold a versatile collection of modules and components while still retaining enough of a mobility advantage to outmaneuver larger ships. Usually used for scouting, landing, transport, and skirmishing, fighter class ships can use their zippy and zaggy nature to get into and out of trouble easily!įrigate (Corvette) class: 50.1 - 100 Massįrigates are the most common ships used by todays adventurers and starfarers. Ships under this class are extremely mobile and agile, capable of weaving around obstacles with grace. Planetoid (Kronos-Class): 500,000.1 and beyond Here are the 3 most common systems:įast Attack Craft (Hera-Class): 50 - 100 massĬorvette (Demeter-Class): 100.1 - 250 massĭestroyer (Apollo-Class): 600.1 - 750.1 massĬruiser (Aphrodite-Class): 750.1 - 1,500 mass These classification systems generally are based on size, not type. Capital Ship - often the pride of a fleet or faction, these titans can wipe out volley after volley of attackers, no matter the size or force.Battleship - a medium-large ship designed simply to decimate, while still being fairly nimble.Carrier - a ship designed to transport large numbers of fighters and other small ships into a warzone.Fighter - a small and agile ship designed to swiftly attack.The most basic way of classifying a ship is by just defining it's purpose, such as: 4 Calbirian Complexity Scale (file size based).We expect production start not later than January 2008. I know that they design and build the safest aircraft in the world."Īpril 5th, the aircraft will be handed over to the flight test department. I have a team that is unmatched in general aviation manufacturing. He added "The DA50 Super Star will become a big hit with 350 HP big bore and with variations of turbo-charged diesel engines. The Diamond DA50 Super Star is equipped with Teledyne Continental TSIOF - 550J engine 350+ HP, FADEC controlled with twin turbo charger.ĭries stated that he is proud that Manfred Zipper and his team made the DA50 Super Star a reality in less than 11 months from the idea to the maiden flight. Also on board was Soeren Pedersen director of Sales, as chief test pilot. Christian Dries, CEO and owner of Diamond Aircraft flew the aircraft as pilot in command. On April 4th, 2007, less than one year after the first flight of the D-JET, the single-engine aircraft DA50 Super Star with an MTOW of 1,660 kg (3,670 lbs) flew for the very first time in Wiener Neustadt, Austria.
