Large, heavily-armored ships that are deployed with the ability to engage in large-scale battles. Capital ships are mostly a frigate-sized warship or larger. Usually carrying a large array of defensive turrets and batteries. Some are used for engaging other capital ships while others are used to defend against escort fighters and/or bombers. Most can carry their own fighter escorts to deal with the enemy's fighters. Capital ships can also deploy large anti-fighter screens to allow friendly fighters to knock out the bombers if they get to close.
