How the DSTC corporation rates its ships into its classifications.

We rate our ships based on tonnage and size and once we decide those perameters ships are put into said groupings, which during the shipwrighting phase (actually designing and building the ship) decides what the ship is going to be and what role its going to play.


Scout 1000-5,000 KG 5-10 M Long -Scouts are largely unarmed small but incredibly fast and maneuverable ships

Fighter 5,000 - 50,000 KG 5-20 M Long -Fighters are fast maneuverable and often lightly armoured fast attack craft capable of wreaking all levels of damage on targets they rely on their speed to be able to dodge projectiles

Bomber 50,000 - 100,000Kg - 5-25 M Long - Bombers Heavily armoured and often using undermounted payloads or use of rocket pods these are capital ship killers, in large swarms they can decimate a cruiser easily while taking a fair beating themselves.

Transporter - 100,000 - 200,000 KG 25-50 M Long Transporters are the workhorses of the fleet, often poorly armored and armed these ships rely on escorts or moderatly good maneuverability to protect themselves, Often boasting huge cargo capacities

Corvette - 200,000 - 1,000,000 KG (1000 tonnes) 25-75 M Long Corvettes are the middle ground between bombers and frigates. instead of cockpits however this ship class actually has a bridge, and while having the best of both worlds of a bomber and a frigate these ships are often bigger, slower and often serve as lone wolf ships for special operations in our fleet.

Frigate - 1,000,000 KG - 6,000,000 KG (6,000 Tonns) 50 -250 M Long Frigates are the main battle class in our fleet, often carrying heavy loadouts and light armour these ships often operate in "wolf packs" of 2-3 and are incredibly effective against ships larger than it, extremely nimble these ships often can chew apart a larger ship before i can bring its guns to bear on the frigate. this class is also the only big ship that can effectivly dogfight. A sub class of frigates is the "drone" frigate, which deploys drone fighters to defend itself and the fleet.

Cruisers - 6,000,000 KG - 15,000,000 KG (15,000 Tonnes) 150-700 M long Cruisers are the "Muscle" of a fleet, often acting as command centers or mobile bases these ships are well armed, well armored and can dish out and take a hell of allot of damage before they call it quits, frequently using redundant systems (or what DSTC zoidies call "Roaching" these ships are a threat on a battlefield like no other. able to engage and kill capitals. A subset of this grouping is known as a Light Carrier. Often boasting the abilities of a carrier with a large aircraft bay

Capitals 15,000,000 KG - 75,000,000 KG (75,000 Tonnes) 400-1000 M Long - Capital ships are monsters on the battlefield, slow, hulking heavily armoured and loaded to the teeth with turrets these ships are mobile starbases capable of decimating planets through belly mounted missile tubes and acting as large logistics command posts. A Sub class of the capitals are Carriers, able to sustain huge fighter and bomber fleets. Capital ships are not something one lone man takes on to seize control of. a small army is needed to dominate these monsters.

Titans - 75,000,000 - ( ∞ )KG 200 - ( ∞ ) Long any direction - Titans are the crown jewel of the fleet, if you have one of these monsters comming down on you then you know you ****ed up bad. Designed to be the nerve center of a fleet and be small cities in their own right these ships are a utter nightmare to take down. As a testimant to this No DSTC Titan has ever been destroyed to date (Only 3 have ever been deployed to date in pvp servers) these ships are last resort ships in our fleet. if we want you dead and at any cost. we deploy these monsters on you. These ships are known to tear apart whole asteroids in just a few salvos. Almost all DSTC titans are also equipped with sun-tsu era ramming abilities, giving these ships the abillity to use the sheer massive weight to destroy ships smaller then them... just picture a sumo wrestler sitting on a midget and you get the idea.
