One of the first questions asked by anyone about space warfare, is what classifications a space warships would there be and what is their function in relation to each other. I believe that our community can crowd solve this question with the help of children of a dead earth.
Right now as it stands we can mix and match any type of weapon system with any size ship. But the most optimal designs will be the ones that will become the classifications of real-life space warships.
The point of this post is to congregate and finalize those classifications.
One of the most common words that I see posted from time to time is a classification of “LaserStar”. A type of warship built around a primary laser armament. I also see from time to time the term “sandblaster”. A ship built around using high-powered railgun and/or coilgun to shoot 1 gram projectiles at an opponent.
I believe LaserStar to be our real first space warship classification.
And the term sandblaster needs to be worked on. Not because it doesn’t describe accurately what the ship does, but because search results, will return you information about the profession. And not a weapon system.
What other classifications are we missing and what you guys think of the term sandblaster and LaserStar.
Also does anyone know the origins of the term LaserStar.
