Editing Skyship Combat (section)

==Classes of Skyship==

Skyships are found in four broad classes.

Destroyers: Small, short air time, but with a heavy throw weight for their size. Used as flankers in fleet engagements. Destroyers are considered obsolete by some, especially the Principality of Astaria, which has abandoned them for LCs.

Light Cruisers: Unlike destroyers, these skyships are able to stay airborne for weeks on end. LCs are larger than destroyers, but less capable in a fight since they give so much volume over to provisions. Often used in commerce protection and/or raiding roles

Heavy Cruisers: A crossbreed between the two above, Heavy Cruisers have the throw weight to serve in the wing of battle, while also having the endurance to operate far beyond their home territory 

Dreadnoughts: Larger than a heavy cruiser, it devotes less percentage of its volume to provisions, giving it the short operating span of a destroyer. But a Dreadnought is the single most powerful ship in most country's fleets, the center of the wing of battle. Dreadnoughts are the real accepted measure of fleet strength.
