Made on request, this is a mashup of every single ship that I have uploaded so far.
Older Model ships are at the top, newer at the bottom.
Nuff said.

I'm not going to lie to you, these really are well-made ships! I loved the chance to go through each of them, and it was fun to see the progress between the Supership Mk1 and Thor-class. Good God, that Horizon-class is huge! It dominates your fleet with its sheer size and might!

Also, that Thor-class is actually pretty sexy-looking. Really sleek and streamlined design!

I love how you call the Horizon-Class massive when, well...your smallest ship is around the same width as it :c
Well, in context, thanks for the compliment! The Thor-Class was actually a systems-first design, so I suppose it does have some merit in the end. The Dreadnought will almost certainly be built in your style though.

I both fear and look forward to the day the Dreadnought is released! I suppose my perception of the Horizon's size was relative to the ships around it, but it's still big by almost any standards. While the ship-first-systems-later method normally produces the best combined appearance/functionality results, I suppose the Thor represents an exception to the systems-first process.

Quite. I'm not sure what it would fight though, for a number of reasons-
1: there are about 12939826459 different variants of it that I'm making and
2: I don't really know what kind of class it is...it's a sort of general-purpose combat ship...I only called it a Frigate cos that's about how big it is. Any ideas?

These days, corvette, frigate, and destroyers sizes are almost indistinguishable, except at the higher extremities. They all end up being outfitted in a very similar way. Frigates are known for being general purpose vessels, (clouded now that the LCS has been developed, but still...) while destroyers and corvettes fill somewhat specialised roles. In fact, the most specialised a frigate gets is being an ASW vessel. So, your "frigates" are pretty much the skyship equivalent of a present day frigate in form and function. They simply can't be corvettes or destroyers due to the way they are designed. They do not carry heavy interdiction capability (corvette), "coastal" patrol capability (corvette), nor do they have the armament to compete with cruiser-class ships, so they can't be destroyers. Frigate it is, then!

Well, it is around the size of a frigate, so that makes sense. According to Wikipedia, "frigates are used to protect other warships and merchant-marine ships, especially as anti-submarine (ASW) combatants for amphibious expeditionary forces, underway replenishment groups, and merchant convoys. Ship classes dubbed "frigates" have also more closely resembled corvettes, destroyers, cruisers and even battleships."

Not sure if that helps with naming it, but it does look like a light-medium escort, which according to Wikipedia translates into "Frigate."

It's also nice to see the Supership again. We still need to battle it against the Indomitable...
