I'm so glad you pointed out that destroyers are not just glass cannons and can be brawlers as well. I've never liked how some make the claim that they're just glass cannons. I also like that you got into subclasses of destroyers with flanking destroyers and such. Speaking of subclass I would mention Escort Destroyers and Destroyer Escorts and yes there really is a difference between them. However there is no need to mention them because their roles could be fulfilled by frigates.

Ya frigates are the jack of all trades ships.

The burke is a misdle destroyer with multi purpose weapons. It can screen but it is primarily a destroyer it's just good at both jobs thanks to its weapons. It's a great example of how effective weapons can open up new avenues such as rotors cannons used on air craft can be great at air defence.

Werent Naval Destroyers Typically used as Escort Ships? If we Follow that Line of thinking wouldnt A Destroyer be COnsidered a Screening Ship?

A screening ship protects from things like fighters missles and very small craft like devil boats. And escort would go attack other ships that are attacking the fleet. In modern times country's are trying to make multirole ships with limited success and much confusion.

One thing to remember, and you touched on the subject, a destroyer is a multipurpose vessel, it is a jack of all trades, and a master of none. (Unless specifically designed to be a certain type.)

A better way is it can skin a cat several ways.

The blue destroyer is the Perseus class destroyer. But in Space Engineers, one person's destroyer is another person's battleship. The Outlands series (which you mentioned) uses a block count system to determine different classes of ships. For example, the destroyer class can be a minimum of 2,601 and 3,000 blocks and take 1 "turn" to build.

Yes just like a certain helocopter destroyer ship classification is not just up to the build.

I love the deep dives into the logic and use of ship classes. This all makes me feel like I'm playing a different game. Where do i need to go to participate in these epic ship battles where this information is inspired from?

Ya tho the one vid I want to do is a theory classification on the difference between a battle ship and a dreadnought.

I have 2 types of destroyers that get deployed, Fleet and Esscort. The fleet destroyer is a vessel designed to engage enemy capital ships, the Esscort is built to screen or defend a space often with lots of turrets but minimal centrals.

Sounds like a cool one two combo for fleet defence.

wow! how have i not found your channel yet?? this was an excellent presentation! you're critical like luka the guide without being an asshole. you present more of a perspective and opinion than Aaron from LSG your information is general enough to be applicable to vanilla or modded. and the best part is, you pull from many different sources! i LOVED seeing you take such a variety of ships from different makers and contrast them (and you did so with grace)

Thanks I watch all of them for several years before I got my pc and got space engineers.

My inderstanding was that destroyers were created as a response to patrol boats and subs. They are meant to be hunter killers. They are fast for their size, carry a wide range of sensors and a lot of weapon options. They generaly rely on depth charges and torpedos and have a cannon that can aim fast enough to hit smaller and faster targets. Their job is to protect a fleet from things that are either to stealthy for other ships to see or to fast for a battleships large guns to keep up with. Technicly your not wrong that a destroyer is built to destroy ther ships. The catch is that they are designed to destroy specific types of ships and usualy in defense of much larger ships.

Yes they pick fights with other ships to defend the fleet hence the name destroyer.

I just watched all three of these videos and I aboslutly love them, they are really helpful and you do a really good job with making these easily understandable
