Ship Type Overview

Battleships are ships of the fleet. They are the largest practical combat vessel available. Measuring to lengths of 600 to 800 meters and a difficult to hide electronic footprints of 400 meters and massing at 100,000,000 kgs. Crewed by many as 10,000-15,000 lives, the combat efficency increases greatly with the use of the pod reducing minmal crew needed to the hundreds. Though most roles fulfilled by the battleship is reserved for combat it doenst exclude it from becomming used in heavy non-combat activites.

A Battleship's heavyweight and extreme technicallity makes it a challenge to master as thier replacability cannot match against cruisers and frigates. Though military states heavily invest into the battleship to complete thier walls of battle.

Their large size offers maxium room for various functional outfitting, and its offensive power is to be feared by any other ship as the battleship can be specifically fitted for any threat from anti-frigate to anti-capitol ship. With room to spare its able to not only deal damage effectively but take massive amount of punishment from all threats, no matter how menacing that threat can be in witteling them down. Though specific battleship sized weapons are not designed for countering smaller ships nothing is stopping that battleship from feilding angry swarms of anti-frigate drones or smartbombs both which can fit without stress on the chassi.

Battleships are most vunerable to smaller craft which it cannot track easily and sometimes the rarer larger craft that are built to destroy battleships.

Battleships have a limited extended family with few advanced brothers to complete the family tree including Muraders and Black Ops battleships.
