Description
Four more ship classes have been refitted for the chart!The HE-SS Drone escort, standing for Heavy Escort - Shielded System, is a fully automated combat ship asset used by the Airnavy. It does not have any propulsion of its own, instead being able to latch onto larger ships' sovex manipulation networks to be pulled through space. A disadvantage of this is that quick jumps will leave the HE-SS drones behind, so special care has to be given to them before FTL travel if a ship wants to retain them. Armed with Gatling point defense and a powerful particle lance, they can help boost a ship's firepower. Also they have their own light shielding and bolster normalization field range and depth.
Repalthur Class Monitors are an ancient type of ship that has been kept in service pasted expected service life. This is common for Alfurian ships. These monitors are used to guard ports, shipyards, and other home system assets. They carry large numbers of omni purpose missile tubes mainly used to protect themselves and nearby friendly units. Shields and armor are especially heavy for their size, and they usually operate in small groups to boost this steadfast protection even further.
The Vesper Class represents a revived carrier concept within the Airnavy. Alfur recently started to operate fighters and larger numbers of strike aircraft once again, and these ships are used to implement them into fleet formations. They are nimble enough to server alongside smaller ship groups and scouting arms. Side hull hangars and a forward facing hangar allow for quick deployment of large numbers of smaller craft. Heavy point defense is designed to reach out and opposite incoming threats past friendly screening ships.
A close cousin to the Glimmer Class, the Cascade Class has taken up a different niche within fleet formations as well as solo operations. Cascades are not nearly as weapon focused as their cousins, so they were delegated to lighter duty often. Specializing in this, many have been converted to sensor, communications, and special systems ships. K'laxiki is a shining example of one of these. Most notable about her are three triangulating long range sovex displacement sensors that provide excellent information gathering ability to the ship. These vessels are sent on long range patrol and scouting missions, and also are used to boost fleet groups' abilities vastly.
