Known Ships:
Beacon
These are used as waypoints for Explorer-Class drones
Explorer Coreship
These house the unique AI entities of the Collective. As such, they are armed like Dreadnoughts but usually have the size of Battleships or higher. ((WARNING: Incomplete Blueprint))
Explorer Subcore
These subcores are seen heavily defended with other drones and Explorer ships. Even though they can hold their own in combat, their main purpose is to coordinate expedition fleets.
Research-Type Subcore
A Subcore Unique to the Explorer Class that carries a wide variety of sensory and science equipment, used to conduct and keep track of multiple experiments at once. Can defend itself pretty well.
Control Ship
Used in place of Beacons for mobile operations and also for Drone recovery. Versatile ships usually escorted by other, smaller drones.
Shuttle-type Transport
A personnel carrier more than anything else. This ship is flexible on which specimens it can carry, from a collection of Sim-Programs and/or biological entities or even a racially-tailored atmosphere for a certain faction. High seating capacity.
Light Fighter
A versatile drone used to protect Explorer assets
Heavy Fighter
An Experimental Weapons platform that serves the Explorer Class in combat tests and protection of more important assets to the Dimensional Collective.
Light Bomber
A Multi-purpose military bomber escort for Explorer-Class Ships
Heavy Bomber
A very dangerous droneship that has control over heavily-compressed singularity torpedoes. The initial volley is VERY dangerous, and can be fatal to entire fleets if put in groups.
Light Scout
An Easy-to-produce Scouting ship usually seen in squadrons. They are not as well-armed as the other ships within this class, however.
Heavy Scout
A better-equipped Scout drone meant for scouting out dangerous zones
Disruptor Frigate
An experimental warship made by the Explorer-Class, conceived from the result of weapons experimentation. One of the first seen being fielded by this class.
Unique Ship Types:
| Starbase Sentinel | (Constable-Unknown)
A Lesser Battleship of sorts meant for protection of important, permanent installations like Explorer-Class Starbases. First used by the Explorer-Class AI Constable-Unknown.
Explorer-Class Installations
Explorer-Class Dimensional Starbase:
The first of its kind, the Dimensional Collective meant for these starbases as a general-purpose outpost for all DC operations, especially Research and Exploration. As later starbases are developed, this type of starbase will mostly service the Explorer-Class ships of the faction.
