The Capital Ships of a Navy are its most important warships; and are traditionally much larger than other naval vessels. A capital ship is generally a leading or a primary ship in a naval fleet.
UEEN Capital ships designations[1] (with examples, listed from largest to smallest capital ship):
- Fleet Carrier (CV, ex - 孟加拉)
- Escort Carrier (CVE, ex - 飛馬座)
- Battleship (BB, ex - 懲戒)
- Battlecruiser (CB)
- Cruiser (CA)
- Destroyer (DD, ex - 標槍)
- Frigate (FF, ex - 伊德里斯-M, 伊德里斯-P)
- Frigate Light (FFL)
- Corvette (K, ex - 北極星)
Arguably not Capital ships, but here are the UEEN designations anyway:
- Transport (AP, ex R4M Quasar, R5M Proteus)
- Tanker (AOG, ex - 星際遠航者 雙子座 [缺乏引證])
Many of these ship classes are not traditionally consider Capital class, however in the 星際公民 'verse, the term appears to have evolved to include any combat ship bigger than a Corvette, becoming roughly equivalent to the modern day term "warship".
What was once considered Capital might now be classed as "Super-Capital": Fleet Carriers, Battleships, maybe Cruisers & Battlecruisers and definitely the Retribution Super-Dreadnought.
Persistent Capitals: Anything larger than the Javelin Destroyer, cannot be safe docked and remains in the game at all times. Can be taken away by player characters if not crewed or crew is killed.[缺乏引證]
Non-Persistent Capitals: Javelin Destroyer or smaller will be able to be "safe docked" so that they can "disappear" when owner logs out.[缺乏引證]
