The fleet
All ships, submarines and flying machines are designed around a realistic, near-future tech style. As they are a representation of current and near-future tech, a number of design constraints are in place. Every ship is designed for a specific task in the fleet, be it naval bombardment, patrol, Anti-Air, anti-submarine, et cetera. Individual ships often excel at one or two tasks, but are inferior to others and thus need supporting. Furthermore, realistic design also imposes limits on the amount and kind of weapons used. I dislike the use of fast firing high gauge guns, or a ship that has every last bit of space used for offensive or defensive weapons. Every ship also has a trade-off in armour, so that it can remain reasonably bouyant without fear of submerging parts of the deck or even weapons during normal operations. All engines are of Eagle Industries design, mainly fuel engines but the occasional gasturbine is used. Being near-future tech ships, LAMS are used, but offensive weapons aren't readily available and the use of shields is limited. LAMS are often underpowered and in large centralized domes, and need to stock in energy first since the limited engine power doesn’t allow for large LAMS installations to be used.

The classes
Each ship class follows a design philosophy which gives it a place in the fleet. Furthermore, most ships in each class and through different classes are linked in evolution and placement, such that a light frigate class evolves to the largest of dreadnought class battleships available, the Orion.

The following classes are recognised:

Naval:
Patrol Boats (PB)
Corvettes (FS)
Frigates (FF)
Destroyers (DD)
Cruiser, Light (CL)
Cruiser, Heavy (CA)
Cruiser, Guided Missile (CG)
Cruiser, Battle (BC)
Dreadnought (BB)
Monitor (BM)
Submarine (SSN)
Stealth ships (Suffix S, e.g. FSS)

Naval Auxillary Ships
Cargo Ship (AK)
Fast Combat Support Ship (AOE)
Mining Ship (AMS)
Repair Ship (AR)

Airborne units
Airplane (V)
Gunship (H)
Aerial Corvette (LFS)
Aerial Cruiser (LCA)
Aerial Command Ship (LCC)

Ground based units
Light Tank
Medium Tank
Main Battle Tank
AA platform
Missile Platform
Mobile Artillery
