nice, but a bit small for a frigate, well, for me


+1 if that existed, lol

There is a bit of a gap between fighter and frigate, so that's why I named it a frigate, its just a small ship.

Gunship maybe ? We need to make one common way to mesure ships. Defining ships by their size is a bit of a problem as I saw cases where a cruiser is smaller than a destroyer, and then a destroyer smaller than a battlecruiser and corvette being a frigate with more guns on it and then a ccorvette being between figther and cruiser ...
Maybe defining them by purpose ? At least thats what I do. Cruisers should patrol, so that medium sized ship like my UTC Glorious is a cruiser. Destroyers should destroy, so those big ships with superior firepower are destroyers in my database.

In Mackeroth's summary of futurecraft and the thing he put on the forum those are the classes of ships described. I know we are not going by that system anymore, but I still name ships by it, it is easy to just go by size, because frigates are usually all purpose warships, there could be ones designed specifically for a certain task, but for the main part general purpose.

No. Cruisers are the all purpose battleship. Frigates are for meat-shielding and recon. Well, maybe not recon, their warps/hyper-drives are generally small.

You name how you want, I'll name how I want. Oh wait, I am in your clan. Darn. Let's put it to a vote.

I suggest opening a new thread for that in the Design section as we have gone off-topic.

I like the front and back, but the wings look... stubby.

I agree, the wings were an afterthought, I should fix them, but there is a new map coming soon.

A frigate is supposed to be WAY bigger. That may or may not be cruiser size. Still though, that times it's size 10 times = awesome. good design.

Again, just call your ships whatever you want, it doesn't matter, in every science fiction game or show or movie with spaceships there are names for sizes of ship that are not the same as the other series. For example a corvette in Halo: Reach is a pretty good sized ship, but is smaller in Sins of a Solar Empire. (correct me if I'm wrong, never played sins, but looked at it.)

Except there aren't any corvettes in Halo Reach..?

Unless you're talking about the Covenant one, and their classes of ship have always been 2 to 4 times bigger than their UNSC counterparts.

As far as I know though, ship classification is up to the makers and/or owners. My corvettes are actually cruisers by Mackeroth's definition, but might be considered frigates by ACH, etc.
