Atomic Fusion engine and Proton Fusion Engine need to be changed to reflect how one provides more power and uh.......I don't know what they do really.
M-22B Bomber Corvette (ICC)
Change to:
The M-22B is the only corvette equiped to attack planetary targets. Sporting only a single laser to defend itself with, it's not meant to engage in any kind of combat, but can be effective en masse against planets.
M-21B Recon Scout (ICC) (should be Recon Corvette?)
Change to:
The M-21B Recon Scout is equipped with a variety of electronic warefare systems. Not sporting any kind of weapons, its main job is to provide the fleet with the enemys position or deny the enemy fleet the same data.
M-40S Sensor Frigate (ICC)
Change to:
The M-40S Sensor Frigate can be considered the big version of the M-21B Recon Scout. It is equiped with systems meant for electronic and intellegence warfare.
M-194A Mine Layer (ICC) (Should be M-184A Mine Layer)
M-194E Escort Destroyer (ICC) (Should be M-184E Escort Destroyer)
M-245A Assault Cruiser (ICC)
Change to:
The M-245A Assault Cruiser specalizes in close range combat with its banks of laser cannons and fusion torpedeos. It is not equipped for medium to long range combat because of this.
M-S42A Supply Ship (ICC)
Change to:
The M-S42A Supply ship is an upgraded version of the standard issue M-S40A Supply ship. Supporting extra repair drones and weapons, its commonly used in supplying large fleets in battle.
M2200 A Support Station (ICC)
Change to:
An all-purpose station meant to support fleets from afar. Equiped with a variety of close range and long range weapons, repair drones, and a wormhole device, it is the ultimate support ship for extended campaigns into enemy territory.
M2250 Line Station (ICC)
Change to:
Modfying the M2220 A Support station has resulted in this fleet engagement station. Meant to directly support fleets by being on the front lines, this station boasts powerful close to medium range weaponry.
M2300 Sector Command Station (ICC)
Change to:
The latest station design from Shi Jie Shipyards. Meant to fuse together that fleet tending capabilities of the original M2200 A support station with the command and control capabilities of the M-310 Command Dreadnought, this station has a large array of fighter wings and long range weapons, both repair and planetary construction drones, and a wormhole device. It is also equiped with some short range weapons as well.

Talon
Change to:
The Talon is an agile and quick assault craft also equiped with some electronic warfare systems.
Fang
Change to:
The Fang is an agile assault craft that packs a surprising punch for its size with two torpedeo launchers.
Beak
Change to:
The Beak is a "Hunter" class ship, roughly similar to the frigate class ships of humans. This variation supports a large number of cannons, meant for engaging smaller and more agile ships.
Nymph
Change to:
The Nymph is a "Hunter" class ship, roughly similar to the frigate class ships of humans. This version is equiped with torpedeo launchers for taking on large enemy ships, and close range lasers for engaging smaller ships
Proboscis
Change to:
The Proboscis is another variation on the "Hunter" class ship, meant for attacking planetary targets. Its ship to ship weapons are minimial.
Claw
Change to:
An offensive version of the K'luth Predator hull, which is roughly similar to human destroyer class ships. Equiped with a large number of beams and cannons, this ship is meant for assaulting enemy ships quickly and effeciently
Shell
Change to:
The Shell is another variation of the K'luth Predator Hull. Equiped with a large number of cannons and missiles, it is meant for medium to long range combat as a counter to the human ships supporting doing the same.
Stringer:
(Minor typo L'luth needs to be changed to K'luth)
Scale
Change to:
The scale belongs to the "Chitin" class of ships, which are smiliar in size and power to human cruiser class ships. This vessel is heavy on close range weapons, exemplifying (sp) the K'luth tactics of surprise attacks on enemy ships.
Siphon:

When a planet needs to be built without warranting the need of a dreadnought or station, you can bet that a Drone Engineer will be selected for the job.
Psi Cannon:
Change line to "Noticable in the visible light spectrum" ...
AME
Change to:
The Anti-matter drive is very effecient in the fact that it can quickly accelerate K'luth ships to their max speed. However, it is not so effecient in providing energy for the ships weapons.
Cloaking Device
Change to:
The K'luth Cloaking Device renders the ship invisible to all human sensors, artifical or biological. However, it does take up a large portion of energy and makes it impossible to achieve FTL speed or fire weapons.

Hmm from memory
Atomic Fusion Engine.
A old type of engine still found on todays ships because they are reliable.
Using Atomic Fusion to generate energy and Propulsion there equipped with heavy shielding.
Proton Fusion Engine.
The PFE drive generates more energy however it provides less propulsion force than can be expected.
However this is what they said in the past.
the AFE description fits nicely, kind of slower and less energy but in past they where hard to knock out even a couple of emp hits to the rear usualy didn't kill it. Today devices are more vulnerable. (p.s. we going to fix that?)
The PFE However might need some more inspiration about how the power is generated. but need to keep in mind its Proton tech and the same story must be able to apply to the Proton Torpedo.

I was purely asking with a game mechanic thought
Acceleration: IE > PFE > AFE
Energy: AFE > PFE > IE
Is that how it goes? I don't know, I'm such a dodge guy that I never bothered swapping out for anything else (other then AME)

What the should be (or where.)
(Human)
- AFE
-Little energy
-Slow speed
+Hard to disable
(Old drive, Cheap, Durable, it is a big engine)
- IE
-Decent energy
-Decent speed
(Most commen drive, easy to produce, its the smallest engine.)
- PFE
-Extra energy
-Slightly lower speed
(Latest development, expensive, ???) (K'Luth)
- PSI (IE Clone)
-Decent energy
-Decent speed
- AME
-Little energy
-Good speed
(It works, its mechanical, i know how to fix it.)(said the K'Luth technician) (MIr)
- SI drive
-Loads of energy
-Good speed
(Only heard about it from K'Luth rumors)
p.s. in case i am wrong, correct me on it  .

scout in this instance doesn't mean "one who performs recon", but instead means "ship class"

I believe PFE and AFE have same speed? So it should be -Slow speed like the AFE description

AME needs an "is" or an ":" in its flavor text after the phrase "K'luth anti matter engine" (as of May 06)

AFE only has more hit points so they're harder to disable.
PFE has a lot more energy, and hence, has slower acceleration.

So wait, the AFE is superior to the IE because it has more hit points?

Quick question that I don't think I ever saw asked... aside from the greater HP what are the the pros/cons of AFEs? Do they have the same speed acceleration & energy production as an IE drive does?
