Existing Games / Battleships Forever

Time for a FAMILY PORTRAIT.
Skirmisher: Pretty new, nothing to see here.
Flash: Scout. Fast. VERY fast.
Rumble: Long range large scale bomber - pretty nice in groups.
Weeper: Very short range bomber. Although devastating, takes forever to reload.
Troublemaker: Classic dogfighter.
Dreadweaver: Long range attack frigate - 5 pulsars does pretty sweet effects.
Merciless: Defensive frigate. It can stop a lot of fire (9 flak guns!) and can repair, but not that great otherwise.
Chaos Spawn: An experiment with a buttload of particle guns and quad blasters put in one point. Chaos Star lookalike - but nothing impressive in combat.
Stormrider: Assault frigate. Tougher than the Pillar of Fire, but doesn't makes as much damage even with 6 railguns.
Battlecry: Support frigate. A much slower Repair Ship but tougher and has actual defenses.
Swarmer: Drone frigate. I don't like much drones. Just an experiment. (These small circles with dots at the center are combat drones launchers) and not really tested.
PoF: Heavy artillery frigate. My all time favorite.
Firestorm: Another assault frigate. One of my first builds - strong attack, weak defense, average speed.
ZOMG: Heavy dreadnought. Weapon platform. One of my favorites. It's not as tough as an average dreadnought, but faster.
Heavy Barge: Supposed to be a heavy freighter. Modding the central turret construction facility (builds temporary static turrets) resulted in a fail that makes him producing defensive turrets so quickly than he has a TRAIL of turrets.
Science Dept.: Well, a scientific research ship adapted to combat. Very few offensive capabilities but plenty of specials and goodies, including a short range teleporter, two tractor beams and three EMP guns, that makes it really fun to play (fling asteroids right at your enemies using the tractor beam) if you don't mind about low damage.
Frenzy: Offensive battlecruiser. A bigger Firestorm and a good mix of offense, defense and mobility. Also has shields. Faster than the other heavy ships.
Overlord: Defensive battlecruiser. Sloooooow and clumsy, but good defensive capabilites and... DON'T get too close, because all these front weapons do major damage.
