How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Reconquest

Railguns with forgiving firing arcs and damage-spiking lasers with narrow arcs cover all the basics of firepower

Your ships look like Mass Effect/Halo/(200X sci-fi franchise) rifles with engines

Light Tonnage:
- Santiago-class Corvette:
- New Orleans-class Strike Carrier:
- Toulon-class Gun Frigate:
- Taipei-class Missile Frigate:
- Jakarta-class Defense Frigate: The Jakarta's Aegis rule provides a Point Defense boosting aura to ships within range. Extremely useful against bomber-heavy lists and Close Action battlegroups, but useless against main guns and Shaltari Beam CAWs.
- Lima-class EWC Frigate: A little ship with a big claim to fame. As the only ship with the Detector rule, Limas can ping enemy ships with Active Scan regardless of their battlegroup's orders. Use this to light up targets with spikes and make burnthrough alpha strikes that much better. Keep in mind that they can remove Silent Running status on a 4+ as well.

Medium Tonnage:
- New Cairo-class Light Cruiser: Armed only with a Cobra Laser, this ship is literally hit-or-miss in combat but comes in twos or threes. A full group of these caps out at 18 damage and is nice for Flash spiking even if the dice gods hate you.
- Osaka-class Light Cruiser:
- San Francisco-class Troopship:
- Seattle-class Fleet Carrier: Has Launch 3 and a nice collection of mass drivers for a reasonable price, making this a popular workhorse for UCM fleets.
- Madrid-class Cruiser: The most cost-efficient bombardment ship in the game.
- Berlin-class Cruiser:
- Rio-class Cruiser:

Heavy Tonnage:
- St Petersburg-class Heavy Cruiser:
- Moscow-class Heavy Cruiser:
- Perth/Avalon-class Battlecruiser: Proud bearer of the ~~Wave Motion Cannon~~ Viper Superheavy Laser.
- Johannesburg/Atlantis-class Battlecruiser:

Superheavy Tonnage:
- Tokyo-class Battleship:
- New York-class Battleship:
- Beijing-class Battleship:
