This may help make sense of the confusion around the destroyers so | |||
like the thinking behind our modern day warships UNSC ships designed solely based on there function, Frigates | like the thinking behind our modern day warships UNSC ships designed solely based on there function, Frigates have the same function as carriers only a lot smaller but loaded with essential utilities- they are needed for plannet side deployment of troops, supplies and equipement, they can launch a number of fighters but have the bare minimum weapons and defenses and a vast amount of storage space, there design shows this. | ||
Destroyers on the other hand have next to no utilities, theyve been described as a rifle with an engine with a bay large enough for 2 pelicans with the rest of the mass left to the titanium A battle plate and weapon systems, essentialy the smaller equivelant to the battle cruiser, each class is balanced on a scale of these functions. | Destroyers on the other hand have next to no utilities, theyve been described as a rifle with an engine with a bay large enough for 2 pelicans with the rest of the mass left to the titanium A battle plate and weapon systems, essentialy the smaller equivelant to the battle cruiser, each class is balanced on a scale of these functions. | ||
Utility | Utility ships on one end to warships on the other ie- frigates to destroyers or carriers through to cruisers to battlecruisers respectivly. | ||
This reasoning is based mostly on common sense, eg if u gave a carrier the same mass of titanium plating of a cruiser it would probably be too heavy for it to move plus the enclosed design would cut down on its utilities so each design has to closely adhere to its function. | This reasoning is based mostly on common sense, eg if u gave a carrier the same mass of titanium plating of a cruiser it would probably be too heavy for it to move plus the enclosed design would cut down on its utilities so each design has to closely adhere to its function. | ||
So long story short- The UNSC Destroyer isnt a Frigate with extra armor[[User talk:DARKSTORM99|.DARKSTORM99]] 12:23, May 21, 2010 (UTC) | |||
