Someone please finish this for me (I haven't checked the Ship Database yet)

Tiger's Claw - Bengal Class
Concordia - ?????
Victory - ?????
Lexington - ?????
Intrepid - ?????
Midway - ?????
Cerberus - ?????
Behemoth - Behemoth Class - I Think
 
Concordia: Confederation class Dreadnought
Victoy: Ranger Class Lt. Carrier
Lexington: Concordia Class Fleet Carrier
Intrepid: Durango class carrier/heavy destroyer (depending on the source)
Midway: Midway class megacarrier
Cerberus: Hades class Quick strike cruiser.

BTW LOAF, in SO it clearly states that the Cerberus is the first of the Hades class ships to be given to confed thus this is an exception to your all classes are named after the first ship made in that class
 
Concordia - Confederation class
Victory - Ranger class
Lexington - Concordia class
Intrepid - Durango class
Midway - Midway class
Cerberus - Hades class

Eh? It's an old Confed destroyer, converted to a carrier.

Nothing in SO tells us that the Cerberus is the first Hades ever built...
 
Yes EW in the opening sequence it says something like: Governor, I am proud to present to you the first of a new class of ship...

EW: also where are we told that Durango's are modified destoryers, I made note of that becuase I have seen them called that, but not because I knew the reason why
 
Tiger's Claw (CV-07) - Bengal class Strike Carrier
Concordia (CVS-65) - Confederation class Dreadnought
Victory (CV-40) - Ranger class Light Carrier
Lexington (CV-44) - Concordia class Fleet Carrier
Intrepid (CV-06) - Durango class Heavy Destroyer
Midway (CVX-01) - Midway class Heavy Carrier
Cerberus - Hades class Quick Strike Cruiser
Behemoth - Behemoth class Dreadnought

Regarding the Hades: If you'll check the 'spec sheet' for the Hades class ships, you'll find that the first one produced was, indeed, the TCS Hades (a testbed - it's noted at the bottom).

Regarding the Durangos: This comes from both the WC4 Script (as posted to Origin's Official Site in 1996) and the TPOF novel.

Regarding Henry: I (heart) bad jokes.
 
Far be it from me to question your l33t trivia skillz, LOAF, but why is the Concordia a dreadnaught? Shouldn't it be a carrier?
 
Its on the WCII manual, Confederation class Dreadnought.
And here its the old girl stats.

Confederation Class Dreadnought

Cruise Velocity 50 kps

Front Shield Phase Shields
Rear Shield Phase Shields

Now here is the Waterloo Class cruiser

Waterloo Class Cruiser
Length 503.9 meters
Mass 19,500 metric tonnes
Max Velocity 200 kps
Cruise Velocity 100 kps

See the diferences?
 
Dreadnoughts carry both fighters *and* the offensive weaponry of a SuperCruiser or Battleship -- the Concordia (CVS-65) mounts the infamous Phase Transit Cannon.
 
And it blows stuff up good (of course... theoretically it also could have blown itself up... but it didn't :) )

I wish the various sci fi communities would get together and find a common set of qualifications for their ships.

Here, a dred can carry fighters and big guns. Star Wars, a dred can carry fighters but it for the most part secondary to other cap ships (though they used to be the main ships). Star Trek it's just a capship, no fighters other than shuttles. Master of Orion it was the same as Trek. Independence War... well, that doesn't count, Dreadnaught was the name of the ship, not it's class.

It carries at least a squadron of fighters, should be a carrier. Oh well.
 
Tye, don't make me thwak you :) What other 'universes' call a dreadnought really has no bearing on this...

TC
 
Well in Star Wars we got Destroyers that are bigger and carry more fighters that Carriers.
The Star Trek does not use Fighters, so why a Dreadnaught would have Fighters?
And that says all........
 
Star Trek does have fighters... but this isn't something that we should be getting into here.

TC
 
Dragon, Star Destroyer is different than what you're thinking. It's Star Destroyer class, like the entreprise has been constitution class, and galaxy class, etc. Just like the Victory was ranger class.

but let's not get started on that.
 
Many WC destroyers and cruisers carry more than one squadron of fighters -- but their speed, armor and weaponry defines them.
 
Its not Star Destoyer Class, there is the Victory Class Star Destroyer, the Imperial Class Star Destroyer and the Super Star Destroyer (that does not have a name class)
And yes there are Fighter on Star Trek but they are very rare....
