How to Build an Interstellar Warship, Part One: The Basics
Author: Derran Tyler

V. Conclusion

So what have we learned today, kids? We've learned that there are four basic types of warships: Battleships, cruisers, destroyers, and frigates. We've also learned that a warship is more than a gun platform, but rather a complex development of engineering that incorporates many different systems into its basic operation. Finally, we've learned that warships have different types of weapons and that mixing the various types of weapons ultimately results in a warship that is highly effective in combat.

In the second part of this guide, we'll delve into much deeper issues. We'll begin to learn about specialized systems and creating a balanced combat fleet that maximizes the strengths of each class of warship while downplaying the inherent weaknesses. Until that time, I bid thee farewell.
