Warship How-To Guide

== Preface ==
So apparently, some people actually need advice on warship creation. So, this will be a bare-bones guide on what we're looking for in a warship. Anything with an asterisk is optional. Anything that is in italics is public information.
Note that you can have either equal amounts of armor and shields, more shields, or more armor. If you go the more route, you lose the lesser focus. So if you have more shielding, you lose some armor.
This template is not mandatory in format. I have formatted it this way for organization only. This guide is strictly for the purpose of getting information needed. It is not, in any way/shape/form meant to advise you on how to arm a ship, how large it should be, etc
== Stats ==
Name of class: X-class. Such as the Constitution-class shown in the image.
Length: This is the only required measurement on warships. This is the primary stat that will affect the speed of your ship. The larger the ship, the more small craft, weapons, armor, and better shields it can carry. The smaller the ship, the faster it moves.
*Width: This measurement only matters if you have broadside Railguns or Gauss Cannons. If the ship is wider than it is long, the width determines ship speed.
*Height/depth: See the above.
Type: What role does the ship serve. Does not have to be the traditional roles. If you need to know what those are, you can watch this video. 
*Registry Symbol: This is usually a two or three letter abbreviation used in registry numbers. See the image for an example.
*Naming Convention: If you name every class of ship after something, list it here.
*Hyperdrive Type:
== *Description ==
Please give an explanation of the role. Or some fluff about the ship.
== Armament ==
=== Weapons ===
Though most people keep their weapons secret, the Admin team still needs to know what the ship carries. That way, if there's combat, we know what each ship has. Remember to account for ammo on Kinetics and missiles. 
If you have missiles, please specify what kind of warheads they use.
=== Carrying Capacity ===
This only matters if the ship carries fighters or troops SPECIFICALLY for deployment. If it carries shuttles and troops for security or boarding action, those do not apply to carrying capacity. Remember that carrying capacity affects space for weapons and ammo. Make sure to list exactly what's carried by amount.
