Fiction:Delpha Coalition of Planets/Multi-purpose ships

Multi purpose ships
The DCP needs ships for trade and diplomacy.

Double Saucers
These ships are widely used for normal space missions, they are slow and poorly armed (but make up for it with a huge delector shield), but are the main workhorse for the DCP. They also have large cargo holds, and are often ecorted by other ships. These are the only ships in use that originate rom the earlier eras.
 * Task:A multi purpose ship, for trade, cargo, surveys, support, transport, terraforming and colonisation.
 * Size:300 meters in length
 * Weapons/defense:Mini laser, proton torpedoes, deflector shields.
 * Tools: - 3 colony packs, colonisation tools, terraforming tools, large cargo bays, scan
 * Significant events:None

Starwisps
These fill similar roles to the Double Saucer. Yet these are slower than light ships, and use laser sails. They are mostly interplanetary, and can only hop to the nearest star systems.

Vikor class Diplomatic Cruiser
These ships make alliances, or hypnotise/scare empires into an alliance.
 * Task:Forging alliances, diplomatic missions, or meeting new species.
 * Size:250 meters in length
 * Weapons/defense:Auto turreet, laser
 * Tools:Scan, Seti, abduct, fireworks, happy rays, mind erase, embassy, sporebucks, crop circles, monolith
 * Significant events:Alliances with races, restoring the Dubel/Corgel alliance.

Independant vessels


These ships in the image above have been made by other players!

These are independant ships that belong to the Member races. Since all the ships are random, they are not of my design. Of course, the member races have been enlarged to show them. None of these ships are in great number, and usually serve to defend homeworlds and for use in trading goods. The more powerful ships have been in battle against the Grox and Xhodocto. The other ships on this page are a mixture of Grimbolsaurian and Member race technology, and form the bulk of the fleet.

 * Junk Saucer (Dubel Federation) by Maxis - Slow, but they do their job.
 * Colony Ship (Turtok Empire) by Molebob - Colony ships.

Labour Class
The Labour class vessels have to components, the upper control room, and the lower construction deck. These ships have existed since the early Empire Era, but have been recently outfitted. They are never far from a colony, unless they are carrying cargo, citizens or workers, so they are not long range. Pirates have targeted these craft, and have used them to smuggle people illegaly across colonies, however, they are often caught, since they are easy to capture.
 * Task:Construction in space and zero gravity enviroments, and to ferrit people and cargo to space elevators and stations.
 * Size:120 meters long
 * Weapons/defense:None
 * Tools:Various construction tools, sensors, manipulation devices amd a mini laser.
 * Significant events:None
