- | ===== Escort Ships ===== | + | The NAC design doctrine favours beam weapons, moderate manoeuvrability and lots of fighters. The list of ship classes currently in service are as follows: |
+ | |||
+ | ^ Class ^ Type ^ Mass ^ | ||
+ | | Arrow | SC | 7 | | ||
+ | | Lancer | ||
+ | | Comanche | ||
+ | | Troutbridge | ||

+ | ===== Fighters ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | The NAC has a heavy reliance on fighters, and the carriers are the centre point of their fleets. All NAC fighters make use of advanced engine designs which give them much better endurance than the fighters of other fleets. | ||

+ | **Class:** Light Cruiser (CL)\\ **Mass:** 54\\ **Points:** 181\\ | ||
+ | The smallest of the NAC ships to carry shields, the Lancaster carries four class two beam weapons as well as a variety of secondary weapon systems. It is fast and durable. | ||

+ | **Class:** Escort Cruiser (CE)\\ **Mass:** 64\\ **Points:** 231\\ | ||
+ | The //Suffolk// class of escort cruiser is designed to be durable, capable of soaking considerable damage whilst defending the ships under its protection. Carrying two shield generators, and an array of ten point defence systems, the Suffolk is an important part of the NAC fleet. It does however sacrifice some speed, having only a thrust four drive, but this is generally enough to keep up with the type of ships it is likely to need to protect. | ||

+ | |||
+ | **Class:** Battleship (BB)\\ **Mass:** 127\\ **Points:** 444\\ | ||
+ | Big, slow and tough, the Thunderer is the NAC's main class of battleship. It has three spinal mount pulse torpedo launchers as its primary weapons, along with three class 3 beam turrets backed by class 2 turrets as secondary systems. It's shields protect it from most beam attacks, but it lacks point defence systems, so often needs to be protected by escort cruisers, or at least fighter screens. Another potential weakness is that it's fire control systems can only track two targets, limiting its options - especially against smaller targets. | ||

+ | {{: | ||
+ | {{ : | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Class:** Heavy Carrier (CVH)\\ **Mass:** 240\\ **Points:** 875\\ | ||
+ | The //Nimitz// class is the biggest ship in the NAC's fleet, and is a launch platform for the bulk of its fighters. It is never fielded alone, always in the company of escort cruisers, smaller carriers and battleships at the very least. Though it is equipped with good point defence systems, it is not equipped to take on other ships, especially other capital class vessels. Because of this, it tries to stay away from combat as best it can, and rely on its escorts and fighters to protect it. Out of the ten fighter groups it carries, normally two to four are interceptors. | ||

+ | ===== Transports ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Galahad Assault Transport ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{: | ||
+ | {{ : | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Class:** Landing Ship (LSO)\\ **Mass:** 120\\ **Points:** 307\\ | ||
+ | The //Galahad// class of orbital assault transport is designed to deliver ground troops to their destination for an attack on planetary targets whilst in contested orbit. It relies upon support craft for protection, but has enough thrust to get in and out quickly. It is also equipped with an array of space to ground ortillery systems, for softening up targets prior to infantry assault. It normally carries a unit of heavy armour, a unit of infantry transports, and two infantry platoons. Equipped with hangers for two orbit to surface shuttles, as well as workshops and support crews to keep them in good condition, the Galahad is often at the forefront of planetary assaults. | ||
