The central theme of these ships is they are designed to link to a carrier ship (one which I'm still working the design of I don't think I'll finish it before the contest ends But I'll still upload it if anyone's curious).
The smallest one is the Invictus class scout ship. It's unarmed but shielded, designed primarily to be carried to its operational area since it lacks FTL. It is very fast at sublight though, which is its primary defense.
The next one is the Invulnus class light fighter. It's armed with dual AMC and shielded. Like the Invictus, it lacks any FTL and requires a carrier craft to bring it to its operating area but it is quite fast at sublight.
The third entry is the Invincible class medium / heavy fighter. Shielded and armed with twin rapid fire damage beam lasers, it also support a complement of four (explosive ) fire & forget missiles. Designed for long range patrol, it does come equipped with FTL and can, if necessary, dock to a carrier craft (the same type that carries the Invictus and the Invulnus).
These are my designs I hope you'll find them useful.
