Intensely curious about the new WarShips, but having a hard time justifying buying it for just those, since I really don't play Clans at all.
I feel they can be broadly defined as such:
Peregrine: As I said, proto-fredasa on Cocaine. It's actually faster than the Fredasa, but its weapon load feels very SLDF in layout. Big naval cannon bay up front, a few naval lasers, and a few ER large lasers as secondary armament.
Molniya: Essentially an assault transport, very Fox-like due to having a lot of docking collars on a fairly small hull. Fairly limited in terms of naval guns, mostly focused on anti-fighter defense. I'd say it suffered more from luck and poor handling on the field than any particular flaw in the design. The wolves essentially dumped the class after one bad showing.
Corone: The ugliest of the lot. A smol boi, in the sense that it's less than three hundred thousand tons and is still called a Destroyer, and in the sense that it's functionally a mini-Nightlord. A different twist on the assault transport concept, in that it carries a cluster of mechs internally in addition to the four docking collars. The weapons are kinda all over the place, and also fairly unimpressive.
Also, they give us some firm numbers, indicating that the Wolves built six Molniyas and the Ravens built six Corones. No such luck with the Peregrines, though two named vessels are mentioned.
