No, I would not call a ship with a design intent of providing supplies a warship, even tho it enters combat. But a ship designed with the intent of launching battle sats for planetary bombardment or ship attack would be, as that was the INTENT of the design. And as for a weapon on it, I have placed PDCs on them, but not all the time. does that make them a warship because they are a one-gun wonder? I don't believe so, it is the several sats it is going to launch at strategic locations that make it such.

Don't get me wrong, I can see you POV regarding warships, and I understand the intent of the poll. besides, it's your poll. you could exclude transports, troops and sats yet include banana peels if you wanted. the poll is {out of the chassis listed, which are your favorite}.

Don't want to hijack the thread on a debate about what constitutes a warship. (unless you want to keep the debate going. lol) http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Launching ships for sat attack... sounds kinda funny. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

PDCs aren't exactly weapons, more like defenses. They can be used offensively ofc, but using them on a ship doesn't make it a combat ship.

The transport ship itself does no fighting, so it is not a warship. Would you call a ship that has a Star Destroyer on it a warship? I wouldn't. It is the same principle. Or how about a troop transport? It drops offensive troops, but is it a warship itself?
