Helios

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.
[close]

Frigate

Fast attack ship. Sacrifice durability for firepower and speed, vulnerable to ramming.
[close]

Destroyer

Use missile as primary weapon. Equipped with Discharger.
[close]

Cruiser

Respectable firepower. Equipped with Guppy. Reinforced frontal armor.
[close]

Battleship

The backbone of HCF. Armored bulkhead protects the bridge and the main gun. Energy Tank stores extra shots.
[close]

Monitor

Specialized bombardment vessel. Equipped with the powerful MK7, and nothing else.
[close]

Ironclad

Specialized Armored Cruiser. Equipped with Shield in addition to heavy armor.
[close]

Carrier

Have 2 runways for a total of 4 Fighters. Also equipped with Discharger.
[close]


=Auxiliary Ships=

Tug

Engineering vessel based on the Corvette chassis. Good armor for its size.
[close]

Dredger

Particle manipulation vessel, modified from civilian asteroid miner.
[close]

Hauler

Light supply vessel, modified from civilian shuttle.
[close]

Tender

Supply and support vessel. Equipped with Discharger.
[close]

Powership

Mobile power source. Generates enough energy to sustain a small fleet.
[close]

Catamaran

Combat engineering vessel. A combination of the most advanced technology.
[close]


=Special=
(These ships are only meant for scenarios, not part of ordinary HCF fleet.)

Flagship

The prized flagship of HCF.
[close]

Flagship Wreckage

Heavily damaged HCF flagship. Taken over by the Particle, thus hostile.
[close]

Relic Ship

Gigantic ship of unknown origin, seemingly carved out of asteroid, with several smaller ships docked to it.
[close]

Battlestar

Experimental warship, reverse engineered from the Relic Ship above.
[close]

Civ Cargo

Civilian cargo ship manufactured by Helios Corporation. Unarmored.
[close]

Harbor

Mobile Harbor, with HQ docked for comparison. All standard HCF ships, from Tug to Battleship, can dock inside the harbor.
[close]

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.
