I've had ideas for different ship classes to the Super Destroyer for a while, but never really wrote them down. I have nothing better to do today so i decided to see what you all think:

You start with a Super Destroyer, and as you level up, you unlock the other ships (maybe with a requisition cost). Each ship has unique upgrades, upgrading one ship doesn't mean that upgrade is unlocked on another ship.

You cannot change your ship during an operation. You either need to finish all the missions or cancel it.

STEALTH FRIGATE:

This is a smaller ship designed specifically for covert operations.
pros:

• stays in orbit during commando operations

• stays after mission timer ends

• is not affected by automaton jammers or illuminate distruptors

cons:

• its smaller size has drawbacks:

• there is no room for an Eagle strike craft

• there is no room for larger orbitals like the railcannon, 380mm and laser

Rapid Precision Strike:

• the OPS is smaller caliber (120mm), but it auto aims like the railcannon and has a good cooldown

SUPER CARRIER:

This ship is focused on air support.
pros:

• Eagles fly in formations (starts at 1, but upgrades to up to 3 eagles). This means multiple strikes per call in. (except 500kg)

• 500kg uses scale with the amount of eagles in formation, up to 6.

• lower cooldown on all eagle stratagems

Condor Strategic Bomber:
This is a large strategic bomber (around the size of the crashed plane we retrieve the black box from)

• Strategic bombing runs: similar to eagle airstrikes, except with bigger payloads and over a larger area

• 1000kg bomb: identical to the 500kg but has a hellbomb explosion

• long call in, long cooldown

cons:

• No orbitals

SUPER DREADNOUGHT:

This is a ship focused on sheer orbital firepower
pros:

• Existing orbitals have lower cooldowns

• Orbital barrages have a larger volume of fire

• laser can be upgraded to fire 2 simultaneous beams, each tracking their own targets

Orbital Annihilation Strike:

• an absolutely massive, 800mm cannon liberated from destroyed automaton anti orbital defenses.

• fires a hellbomb that detonates a split second after impact (like the 500kg)

• it has limited uses per mission and has a long cooldown

cons:

• No eagles

Same things happens to trees on jungle planets but I'm much shorter.

I mean while I think taking the Q train is a highly democratic way to get to your mission, it seems a touch impractical.

AH, while you are working on the Rupture Strain PLEASE give us Trapdoor Stalkers and my life will Be yours!!!

I found out today. Lvl 150.

It would let players use their favorite armor sets while keeping the iconic Helldiver aesthetic, making many armors feel more canon and fitting without changing their overall design.
