Curious what new hull designations people have added to their games. What did you add, what does that ship do?

Battle Carriers or CVB for short.

I never field a capital ship without some measure of self defence in terms of heavy beam weapons, shields or armour so I always designate my main carriers as battle carriers.

Sorry if I wasn’t clear. I was looking for some inspiration as to what people had added to what is in the game as I already know what’s there.

I know, I put the list to make more clear my answer.

So as I said I usually move filling the blanks.

For instance there is no Heavy Destroyer, which I usually add along with many of the missing Patrol, Escort and Recon nomenclature.

Heavy Destroyer DDH
Patrol Corvette CTP
Patrol Destroyer DDP
Escort Corvette CTE
Escort Frigate FFE
Recon Destroyer DDR
Recon Corvette CTR

Service ship

It have jump drive, tractor beam, fuel transfer system, cargo shuttle, small ammunition storage. Some time some can have hangar and small troop transport bay and some cargo. I use it in early game as rescue, resupply, tanker ship. The cargo is only to go get module found in ruins site. It is bad in all of those job but it allow me to have some capability to do every thing with out building a large fleet, so i have some capability ways faster. I can then take my time to build proper ship for those task with out being worry about a fuel harvester station getting full or a ship getting stuck in a other system after a malfunction.

I added High-speed transport (APD) to my games, mostly for roleplay purposes. They are around same size and speed as my destroyers and can carry company of ground troops in boarding bays. I can use them to capture more dangerous targets, like ships armed with beam weapons, or quickly deploy troops to prevent unrest at colony.

Fast Transport / APD

5000t cargo for minerals

Fast freighter

50kt capacity. Best commercial speed available. I use this class to ship first new stuff colony needs or priority cargo urgently needed. Currently this class is used to ship cargo to outer colony that have dangerous NPR close. With good speed I can minimize dangerous time in system.

Buoy Layer Craft
(Fighter-size specialized craft with 1-size box launcher to fly and drop sensor buoys at all JPs and some planet orbites. Quite a lot of micromanagement, but I like to tinker with survey.)

Jump Capable Monitor
(I use those heavy armed ships with overboosted engines and small fuel tanks - Defence Monitors - to secure critical JPs early in the game. Tug them in position and replace by shifts. One of them in each shift must have jump engine to provide a capability of rapid chase-and-destroy through JP - that's Jump Capable Monitor.)
