Acceleration: 0.07
Turning: 1.13

Much better! Was that really so hard?

I'm not sure why you people think it's a good idea to use equipment rated for civilian shipping on military vessels.

In fact I'm just going to nip this in the bud right now and have already amended the rules. Please check the updated restrictions for CiviTech cores.

AA-D4-M2 Drawfsmen-class Fire Support Destroyer

Size: 110
Mass: 12100/12100
Energy: 890/1200
Section HP: 4880
Speed: 1.18
Acceleration: 0.03
Turning: 0.6

Power Core
1x Standard

Propulsion
1x Standard
2x Agility Assist

Armament
3x Artillery
2x Heavy Missile Array

Basically the Elve-class remade using the standardized core. It provides heavy artillery and missile firepower, meant to be shooting at the back while tanks absorbs the damage.

EDIT:Updated with a newer version

AA-C2-M2 Cirrus-class Fire Support Corvette

Size: 65
Mass: 4225/4225
Energy: 470/550
Section HP: 765
Speed: 2.13
Acceleration: 0.06
Turning: 0.92

Power Core
1x Ultra-light

Propulsion
1x Light

Armament
2x Heavy Missile Array

The answer to the inevitable corvette zerg rush at the beginning of (AI) battle. Fragile as all hell, but should be out of reach of all but other missiles.

AA-C2-M3 Cirrus Bombardier-class Fire Support Corvette

Size: 65
Mass: 4225/4225
Energy: 450/550
Section HP: 1045
Speed: 2.13
Acceleration: 0.06
Turning: 0.92

Power Core
1x Ultra-light

Propulsion
1x Light

Armament
4x Artillery

The Bombardier version of the Cirrus swaps out the missile racks for two pairs of artillery guns, for massive damage against capital ships unguarded by CIWS systems. It also sports increased defence as its effective range is a bit shorter than the original.

AA-C3-M1 Nimbus-class Experimental Corvette

Size: 70
Mass: 4900/4900
Energy: 810/850
Section HP: 935
Speed: 2.87
Acceleration: 0.07
Turning: 1.06

Power Core
1x Light

Propulsion
1x Standard

Armament
4x Drone Bay

Pardon the curvyness, but IMO this design is pretty effective. The nose is heavily fortified to withstand most attacks, and if it gets destroyed, the drone bays with 160 HP each can hold the fort at least for a short time. Ablative armour (the blue sections) with 20 HP each provides one-time protection from attacks that deal over 20 damage, like heavy missiles, although it does nothing to fend off artillery shells.

No pictures for the following two variants, since the hull is the same:

AA-C3-M2 Nimbus Striker-class Experimental Corvette
Size: 70
Mass: 4900/4900
Energy: 710/850
Section HP: 1095
Speed: 3.83
Acceleration: 0.07
Turning: 1.11

Power Core
1x Light

Propulsion
1x Standard
2x Speed Assist

Armament
4x Vulcan

With high speed, excellent armour, great weapon arcs and fast weaponry, the Striker variant of the Nimbus is a hunter-killer capable of taking on any class of vessel, but particularly excels in destroying other small ships.

AA-C3-M3 Nimbus Smasher-class Experimental Corvette
Same as the striker, but with HACs instead of vulcans. More effective then the striker for attacking capital ships, less effective against other corvettes. Specifications are extremely similar to the Scorpion.

A moving shield, I guess.

Calvin, learn to spell 'Doodads' correctly.

CE, the Drawfsmen has 4 artillery, due to a mirroring error I presume. The Pavise is fine as-is, but would be better to use 1 light or 2 ultra light engines instead of the assists (which are quite useless IMO unless you don't have enough mass/energy to mount anything better).

AA-IV1-WW Gale-class Intelligence Vessel

Size: 80
Mass: 6400/6400
Energy: 840/850

Acceleration: 0.04
Turning: 0.61

Power Core
1x Light

Propulsion
1x Light

Armament
2x CIWS Gun

Modules
1x Large Sensor Array

A small ship that carries the latest and greatest in sensor tech.

AA-IV1-WW2 Gale ECM-class Counter-Intelligence Vessel

Size: 80
Mass: 6400/6400
Energy: 840/850
Section HP: 2830

Acceleration: 0.04
Turning: 0.61

Power Core
1x Light

Propulsion
1x Light

Armament
1x CIWS Gun

Modules
1x Heavy ECM Module

Replaced large sensor array with heavy ECM. The glowing blue radiators represent the ECM emitters that emit <insert technobabble here> to jam enemy sensors.

AA-D6-M1 Cumulus-class Assault Destroyer

Size: 100
Mass: 10000/10000
Energy: 820/850
Section HP: 5295
Speed: 1.8
Acceleration: 0.05
Turning: 0.78

Power Core
1x Light

Propulsion
2x Light

Armament
6x Autocannon
4x Heavy Autocannon

Power and elegance rolled into one. Rear armour is paper-thin, but the ship is relatively agile. Autocannons are iffy weapons, they do great damage if they hit, but because their bullet speed is slow, they couldn't hit the broad side of a barn if the barn was moving perpendicular to the direction of the bullets. Key is to outflank the enemy.

AA-MV1-M1 Hydra-class Light Mining Vessel

Size: 65
Mass: 4225/4225
Energy: 520/550
Section HP: 1600
Speed: 2.13
Acceleration: 0.06
Turning: 0.92

Power Core
1x Ultra-light

Propulsion
1x Light

Armament
1x CIWS Gun

Modules
1x Mining Module

Small and spammable for max moolah. Has decent armour, but still needs escorts.

Randomness lol.

AA-DP1-CL Iceberg Drone Hive

Size: 85
Mass: 7225/7225
Energy: 820/850
Section HP: 2890
Speed: 0
Acceleration: 0
Turning: 0

Power Core
1x Light

Armament
8x Drone Bay
2x CIWS Gun

In other news, the Indigo has had its acceleration rate fixed.

AA-CR1-WW Cumulonimbus-class Cruiser

Size: 155
Mass: 24025/24025
Energy: 1850/1850
Section HP: 13375
Speed: 1.5
Acceleration: 0.04
Turning: 0.65

Power Core
1x Heavy

Propulsion
4x Light

Armament
8x Heavy Autocannon
7x Vulcan
2x CIWS Gun

Combining the best of the Cumulus and Nimbus into one, the Cumulonimbus is fast, tough and versatile. The cruiser carries the autocannons of a Cumulus and vulcans of a Nimbus Striker, rendering it effective against both capital ships and corvettes.

AA-DP2-CL Trebuchet Missile Platform

Size: 90

Section HP: 2350
Speed: 0
Acceleration: 0
Turning: 0

Power Core
1x Ultra-light

Armament
5x Heavy Missile Array
2x CIWS Gun

For best results, point directly towards enemy.

Unfortunately our rules are pretty fuzzy about the use of rotating sections, and moving sections are right out, so I imagine rotating sections are a no go as well I'm afraid. At certain points the size of the ECM ship should drop down to 75 as well. The sensor ship seesaws between a potential 75 and 85.
