Martians cause confusion by calling a Frigate Corvette class.

Good man.

Ah yes, the lancer frigate. Their most-practical and realistically-effective anti-Rebel ship just happened to be the Orkiest in design. This is VERY amusing.

I love the halo Frigate, it seem'd awsome in it's own right

I'm not really sure I agree with the idea of the Star Trek thing and the hero ship. TOS had several episodes featuring not just one but several other Constitutions, TNG used the Yamato, DS9 used the Valiant and then the Sao Paulo, and Enterprise used the Columbia a lot.

Babylon 5 disproved the hero ship nonsense a long time ago.
The most they ever did to differentiate Sheridan's ships was to give White Star One a B5 logo.

Top Five Battlecruisers next? Still waiting for the Blake's 7 Liberator to get some long overdue love.

Word of advice, don’t let your browser autocorrect to “Morrigan expansion” when searching for “Morrigan The Expanse”!

Frankly, I think how sprawling and bloated the Imperial Fleet was is accurate to a galaxy spanning empire. You had MILLIONS of ship designers and MILLIONS of ship builders. I can see them making hundred upon hundreds of different classes of ships.

Lol “the Federation had tripped over their pacifism for the 950th time”… Truer words were never spoken.

"Amun Ra"
"Moment in the sun"

I see what you did there.

Are you sure about that Star Trek rule? Because there are notable exeptions. The USS Constellation in "TOS Doomsday Machine", the USS Excalibur in "TOS The Ultimate Computer", the USS Yamato in two Episodes of TNG and the Columbia in several episodes of ENT. All ships of the same class as the " heroship" and featured longer and more prominent than the Karakum in The Expanse

SHOOOOOP DA WHOOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The reason why I love Expanse design is that no other Sci-Fi works incorporate artificial gravity in the same way as Expanse, or rather in the correct way as Expanse. All other designs gave the impression of a modern day maritime ship just flying in space, while Expanse truly build in that solid spaceship architecture in all of its design.

The best part about the Adamant is that even though it’s one of the first ships you unlock, it’s still a viable unit well into the endgame. My standard fleet configurations for most of the campaign always had a flight or two of Adamants, usually escorting either Artemis or Jupiter class battlestars. Very nicely balanced little machine. :D
