The fleet of Helios Corporation.
I designed those ships to be practical and lore-friendly, meaning nothing exaggerated or extremely overpowered.
And since they came from the same Corporation, they also share the same style in appearance.
You can download this fleet at the end of this post. Feel free to leave your comment.
=Warships=Corvette
Cheap cannon fodder. Good frontal armor for its size.
Frigate
Fast attack ship. Sacrifice durability for firepower and speed, vulnerable to ramming.
Destroyer
Use missile as primary weapon. Equipped with Discharger.
Cruiser
Respectable firepower. Equipped with Guppy. Reinforced frontal armor.
Battleship
The backbone of HCF. Armored bulkhead protects the bridge and the main gun. Energy Tank stores extra shots.
Monitor
Specialized bombardment vessel. Equipped with the powerful MK7, and nothing else.
Ironclad
Specialized Armored Cruiser. Equipped with Shield in addition to heavy armor.
Carrier
Have 2 runways for a total of 4 Fighters. Also equipped with Discharger.
=Auxiliary Ships=Tug
Engineering vessel based on the Corvette chassis. Good armor for its size.
Dredger
Particle manipulation vessel, modified from civilian asteroid miner.
Hauler
Light supply vessel, modified from civilian shuttle.
Tender
Supply and support vessel. Equipped with Discharger.
Powership
Mobile power source. Generates enough energy to sustain a small fleet.
Catamaran
Combat engineering vessel. A combination of the most advanced technology.
=Special=(These ships are only meant for scenarios, not part of ordinary HCF fleet.)
Flagship
The prized flagship of HCF.
Flagship Wreckage
Heavily damaged HCF flagship. Taken over by the Particle, thus hostile.
Relic Ship
Gigantic ship of unknown origin, seemingly carved out of asteroid, with several smaller ships docked to it.
Battlestar
Experimental warship, reverse engineered from the Relic Ship above.
Civ Cargo
Civilian cargo ship manufactured by Helios Corporation. Unarmored.
Harbor
Mobile Harbor, with HQ docked for comparison. All standard HCF ships, from Tug to Battleship, can dock inside the harbor.
I'm in love with your relic ship. Beautiful & well designed vessels the lot of them.
Those are some great ships, especially that relic ship. How do the ships with the unarmored line down the middle (Cruiser, Catamaran) fare in battle? Do particles sneak their way in there and blow up the ship?

Particles tend to collide with surrounding armor blocks first, so not much to worry.
They are very vulnerable to ramming though, as every armor block counts when being rammed. An AI "Tug" set to "move to ship" could take out two Frigates in a row, or a Cruiser if rammed on the side.
Genius designs, i'm in love with your fleet. And I really like how you handled the Harbor, perfect job fitting everything in that.
The Relic and Battlestar really are the best here, though.
