Drones

Mite Class Microdrone: A Multi Role drone that is made with high speed and basically no armor or shielding. Jobs include, scouting, intercept, assault, decoy, patrol, and sometimes kamikaze missions. On a side note, it is very cheap. When it was deployed, the military was looking for a cheap expendable and multirole drone that could very easily overwhelm enemies.
Weapons: 1 30 cal. machine gun firing at 1000 rounds per minute


Gnat Class Ewar/Microdrone: "Classified info"
Weapons: Target Breaker, Range Dampener, and AOE cloak


Humming Bird Class Fighter Drone: A drone designed for all purpose dogfighting and quick interception. During testing stages the Humming Bird had many skeptics, they feared that its small frame could not withstand the punishment of dogfighting. But were they wrong, the drone was more durable than even the most hardy drone available at that time. But because of that it is a much slower easier to hit drone. One the drones more prominent features, is its ability to deploy in an instant. This makes for an amazing intercept vehicle capable of bring the fight to the enemy even on defense.
Weapons: Two 50 cal. machine gun, firing at 800 rounds per minute


Butterfly Class Fighter drone: The Butterfly is the Humming Birds younger faster cousin. And because of it's speed, it is able to avoid all larger sized cannons and most smaller sized cannons. It even has the ability to out fly the most advanced tracking missiles. However, because of it's speed, its armor is very low on the charts. The Butterfly has the ability to fold up it's wings so it doesn't take as much space on deck.
Weapons: Two 50 cal. machine guns, firing at 800 rounds per minute, and 1 Tracking rocket


Spark Class Fighter drone: A drone made to fly along with the Lightning IIX, it is agile, durable, powerful, etc. But it is not cheap. The drone can be remotely controlled by the hosting fighter craft. There are genrally two drones per fighter; the drones can also be put on auto-pilot which is more common for most operations. (It also has a store mode but there is no pic for that)
Weapons: 2 40.Cal (800 RPM), 2 Rocket pods (8 rockets each)


Barracuda Class Assault drone: The Barracuda is a heavy combat drone made mostly to deal damage, it also makes as a great shock and aw weapon. During testing the Barracuda passed with flying colors in all specified criteria. but one major drawback is the missile drones have to return after firing wich means that they are not as common as the beam cannon models. There was a time where when the drones where just programed to suicide after they run out of ammo, but that was quickly redone because it cost to much.
Weapons: One Standard missile or one beam cannon




Warthog Class Assault drone: The Warthog is the latest assault drone to take to the dark skies. It features speed and damage ability over armor. Based off of the A-10 Thunderbolt from ancient Earth (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fairchild ... derbolt_II). Its general strengths are its speed and damage ability, weaknesses are its general durability.
Weapons: 4 Standard missiles or rocket pods of 12 rockets


Bee Class Mining Drone: When miners asked for a small drone that a single man could move around and carry, the design team was faced with a difficult challenge. How could you get a drone that small to store enough material per trip. The answer didn't actually focus on store space but, speed of the drone and speed of its mining. Instead of having it lug a ton of material in one trip very slowly, they had the drone make fast and frequent trips. And should it ever be attacked, it will just fall apart.
Weapons: None


Fighters

Kite Class Fighter/Bomber: The Kite was originally made to replace the Lancer http://futurecraft.forumotion.com/t661-cvn-shipworks. It soon failed at that task, mainly do to it's lack of firepower. However the Kite still excels at speed and agility. Although it is most common for missiles to be attached, rocket pods can also take that place. One major highlight is that it has the ability to hover while on a planet, which makes them a favorite of ground forces.
Weapons: Three 8 mm rotary guns, two standard missiles, or 2 rocket pods containing 12 rockets



Damselfly Class Fighter/Bomber: Made to replace the Lancer (see Kite Class) this was actually successful at the task and has an exceptional amount of firepower. It is also smaller than the Lancer, which means it is more agile and more of it can be stored on a ship. It has many rocket pods, a couple machine guns and a missile launcher. The only problem with it is that it's slow, slow to the point that a Bee mining drone could beat it in a race.
Weapons: 2 10mm Machine guns (500 RPM), 4 rocket pods each containing 12 rockets (48 Total), 1 missile launcher


The Missile

Dragonfly Class Fighter: The cousin of the Damselfly, pilots respect it for it's incredible agility and speed. (the opposite of the Hawk) However it is rather fragile. Often thought of as the piloted counterpart of Butterfly drone. Many cargo ship pilot love it for its agility and speed as it often makes a good distraction while the ships flee to safer space.
Weapons: 4 50.Cal Machine guns (800 RPM)


Hawk Class Heavy Fighter: The very first fighter built by the Cavnin nation, it featured heavy armor and a low speed and agility. Ever since it was first commissiond it hasn't changed at all; despite that, it is still in service as an assault or defense fighter.
Weapons: 8 50.Cal Machine guns (800 RPM)


Lightning Class Fighter: A Fighter made only for the most Elite flyers, it is good on every level... except cost. Therefore, there often isn't that many of them on a ship. Any further Info are classified.
Weapons: 8 50.Cal Machine guns (800 RPM), 2 Rocket pods (12 rockets each)


Wasp Class Intercept Fighter: A very early fighter, it has exceptional speed and agility. But again, very fragile. It has two modes, Flight, And Store.
Weapons: 2 50.cal Machine Guns (800 RPM)


Parrot Class Atmospheric Fighter: The very first Cavnin fighter with full planetary capability doesn't use the mechanics of an airplane, but that of a helicopter. Thus allowing it to perform maneuvers beyond what was previously thought possible. The plan was to make a fighter that could fill every role possible, from recon to assault and even logistics. This was executed brilliantly with a good mix of speed and armor with surprisingly high firepower using EMACs. Despite this rather balanced craft, it is highly susceptible to EM pulses giving it a very impending weakness.
Weapons: 2 EMAC's (smaller versions of MACs with almost 0 recoil)

Beetle Class Dropship Subject to redo


Whale Class Dropship: The larger of dropships, it is made for dropping off vehicles.

Crow Class Pinnace: Made mostly for escort, it does make a practical assault vessel considering its excellent amount of firepower for such a small vessel.
Weapons: 2 Quad cannons(Need to Refresh pics), 8 standard missiles, 24 omnidirectional 50 cal. machine guns at 500 rounds per minute






Raven Class Pinnace: A small but well armed pinnace made specifically for space fighting.
Weapons: 1 Quad cannon, 2 rapid launch missile tubes (each have four missiles), 2 forward facing beam cannons





The Rapid Missile Launchers

Cobra Class Pinnace: A Midsized pinnace made for patrol and defensive actions. It packs quite a punch for it's size.

Lion Class Corvette: A ship made specifically for recon (and obliterating the ones curios with the ships actions). Despite its name, the ship is not that focused on armor, instead, it is focused on speed and maneuverability. But speed isn't the ships only defense, it also has a fair amount of weapons, these weapons are made to quickly eliminate any ships before they can transmit back to base.
Weapons: 6 Beam cannons, 1 360-degree quad cannon





Echidna Class Heavy Corvette: Currently the larget corvette of the Cavnin nation, it is a pure missile boat. It is slow for corvettes, but it also extremely heavily armored. It features a grand piece of technology known as Jump Missiles, which have the ability to teleport between two points.
Weapons: 6 Rocket launchers, 24 Standard Missile launchers, 6 anti ship missiles, 2 Torpedo launchers, and 1 Jump drive missile.
Developer notes: This was made as an attempt to replicate Laserbilly's designs, it turned out to be one of the most tacky ships I've ever built.

Terror Class Frigate: The oldest ship to still be in service, this frigate does not disappoint, it is a very well rounded ship, with solid weaponry, speed, maneuverability, and shielding. This makes for a highly versatile platform capable of recon, assault, defense and much more. It's underbelly has several fighters and drones, 6 Humming Birds, 4 Wasps, 2 Hawks, And 1 Lightning. The ship also has 2 anti ship missiles, and 12 standard missiles.
Weapons: 16 Beam cannons, 12 standard missiles, 2 anti ship missiles, and 13 fighters/drones.

Turantula Class Command Frigate: A much needed part of any fleet, the Turantula command frigate was specifically tailored for well command. Turantulas are never deployed without a fleet to back it up, and they are almost always deployed in triplets, rarely twins. Despite it's role, the Turantula can easily take down another frigate or two if necessary.
Weapons: 12 Microbeam cannons, 8 Powder cannons, 10 Beam cannons, 8 Missile launchers, 2 Torpedo launchers, and 4 rocket turrets





Missiles and torpedo

Sentry Class Light Cruiser: A slow heavily armored and shielded ship, made for defense. A ship that was found in an old dusty hangar it was really a modified giant sentry turret that had propulsion(And thus, the name Sentry). Looking at old data logs, this project (project ADSP or Advanced Defensive Space Platform) was found to be cancelled at least 17 times. In the end, this ship turned into the Cavnin Nations best defense platform yet.
Weapons: 24 Beam Cannons, 12 Quad Cannons, 1 Coil Gun




Because of minecrafts limited render distance, it was difficult to take a picture of the whole thing so here is the mcedit schematic

Bobcat Class Battleship: The Cavnin's first battleship, it is a fast attack ship that is made to confuse and disorient the enemy while simultaneously pummeling them to dust. Because it is a small fast ship it only features medium and smaller weapons.
Weapons: 64 small quad cannons (forward facing), 144 standard missile launchers, 24 medium beam cannons, 3 medium railguns, 6 medium quad cannons, 16 jump missiles.

(Wasp) Nest Class Light Carrier: This carrier is an entirely A.I. driven carrier, during fleet battles the carriers are given "Avatars" for communicating with the fleet commanders and other ships. The drones always have direct communication with the carrier, the carrier how ever can be controlled manually if necessary by inputting a passcode. There are two types of these carriers, A model is an escort carrier filled with fighters, B model is an assault carrier made to tear apart cruisers if need be. Despite each ships survival capability (given that they are drones is surprisingly high) They very rarely fly alone, they are often found with other Nest carriers or another ship the size of a frigate or higher.
Weapons A: 16 Butterfly drones, 16 Humming Bird drones, 32 Mite drones
Weapons B: 16 Warthog A drones, 16 Warthog B drones, 16 Barracuda A drones, 16 Barracuda B drones

Elephant Mk. I Class Freighter:The Tried and and true cargo ship for the Cavnin Nation, has been in service for many decades (there have been minor upgrades to keep it on active duty). Excelling in several categories such as speed, capacity, and cost (which is one of it's major selling points) its only weakness is durability.






Elephant Mk. II Class Freighter: Just and upgraded version of the original Elephant, instead of carrying two large containers, it carries 22 ten by ten smaller containers. It is also slightly longer.






Manta Ray Class Jump Freighter: A smaller faster freighter made for getting supplies to a location very fast. It has room for 5 five by five containers; not very much compared to most freighters. This ship has an advanced jump drive for rapidly hopping from system to system.





Scavanger Class Mining Ship: An old mining ships made right after the first Tarran Cavnin war. Originally for civillians, it quickly became a ship of major companies. The ships has 6 Bee Mining pods and 3 bee mining drones. It also includes a grabber in the front for maintenance of its drones and pods.

Mouse Class Mining Ship: A tiny mining ship made specifically for the Sanctuary Nomad Ship. Equipped with two small mining turrets.



Sanctuary Class Nomad Ship: A ship made for adventurers, the idea was to give citizens the ability to travel the galaxy, and live off of it's resources as they go along. It features solar panels, two biodomes with a full functioning self sustainable ecosystem, a minuscule cargo mover, and a small mining vessel known as the mouse.
Developer notes: Based off the Obelisk from eve online.
