-The core FSE fleet relies on a mixture of speed, fighters and salvo missiles.+The core FSE fleet relies on a mixture of speed, fighters and salvo missiles. With the exception of the Richelieu class heavy carrier, no FSE ship has a thrust less than four. This high manoeuvrability is effective in both attack and defence, and even the capital ships can be hard to accurately target with salvo missile fire. 
 + 
 +The //Tourville Heavy Cruiser// is the mainstay of the fleet, being a good general purpose combat vessel, with a high speed combined with long range.

 The Tourville class of heavy cruisers carry a large array of weapons for neutralising targets as quickly as possible. With both class 3 beam weapons, and a salvo missile system, it can out range most ships of equivalent or smaller size. It has been known to carry two ER salvo missiles rather than the usual three standard missiles. This change does not affect ship cost. The Tourville class of heavy cruisers carry a large array of weapons for neutralising targets as quickly as possible.

 +**Class:** Escort Carrier (CVE)\\ **Mass:** 90\\ **Points:** 300\\ 
 +The Centauro class of Escort Carrier is the FSE's answer to the new breed of cruiser class carriers. Designed for an escort role protecting civilian conveys, it is capable of placing two flights of fighters into combat. It also carries area defence systems for providing its own anti-fighter cover to the escorted fleet.

 Loaded with six salvo missiles, the Da Silva Battleship is capable of laying down an impressive amount of firepower, though it is limited to launching only two at a time. However, its three class 3 beam weapons make for an effective 'secondary' source of fire power. Designed to combat enemy vessels at medium to long ranges, it relies on fighter and escort cover for close defence. Loaded with six salvo missiles, the Da Silva Battleship is capable of laying down an impressive amount of firepower, though it is limited to launching only two at a time.

 +The smallest of the capital class carriers, the Stromboli is a cheap solution of providing fighter support to smaller patrol fleets. It is still capable of acting as a command and control vessel, but has relatively light defensive systems if it comes under attack itself.

 +
 +**Class:** Strike Carrier (CVS)\\ **Mass:** 180\\ **Points:** 610\\ 
 +The Affondatore Strike Carrier is halfway in design between a Superdreadnaught and a Heavy Carrier, though is considerably smaller than both. A less favourable way of describing it is as a heavier version of the light carrier. It is capable of carrying twice as many fighters as the Charlemagne Superdreadnaught, and carries a reasonable array of weapons compared to the Stromboli Light Carrier, including two pulse torpedo systems.

 +
 +**Class:** Superdreadnaught (SDN)\\ **Mass:** 260\\ **Points:** 846\\ 
 +Equipped with four salvo missile launchers, as well as numerous beam weapons, the //Charlemagne Superdreadnaught// is designed to be able to deliver catastrophic damage to a single target, overwhelming any defences that it may have. It is one of the few FSE vessels equipped with shields, and also carries a fighter group, mostly for defensive or scouting roles. It is rarely seen without at least one dedicated carrier and a //Colbert Escort Cruiser// assigned to it however.

 +
 +**Class:** Heavy Carrier (CVH)\\ **Mass:** 290\\ **Points:** 1009\\ 
 +The //Richelieu Heavy Carrier// is a departure from normal FSE doctrine in several ways. It is the only FSE ship that has a thrust lower than four. It also has two levels of shields, as well as heavy armour. It also carries a wide array of short to medium range beam weapons, so it can defend itself without having to rely on escorts. The principle armament however are the eight flights of fighters that it carries.

 +
 +**Class:** Assault Transport (TA)\\ **Mass:** 92\\ **Points:** 260\\ 
 +The //Velasco// is designed for supporting a planetary assault. Equipped with two ortillery systems for providing space to ground fire support, it also has a hanger capable of carrying a heavy shuttle, as well as crew quarters and workshops for troops and ground vehicles.

 +
 +**Class:** Transport (TT)\\ **Mass:** 110\\ **Points:** 217\\ 
 +The Ariadni is the standard supply transport for the FSE fleet, capable of supplying spare parts, food and ammunition to a fleet on deep patrol. It has limited defences itself, and normally relies on escort vessels if operating near to enemy space.
