Where's the rest of the fleet?

[Mercurial]

It's all super destroyers. Where are the super battleships? The super cruisers? The super corvettes? The super carriers? Is Super Earth's fleet just all 1 class of ship?

[BEEP!]

Yea it's a little silly that you only see the ships of Helldivers and not even a single support ship from the normal military even though you see the normal military scattered assets across the battlefield.

[Vespertellino]

You also have Pelicans, what the hell else do you need?

[IRL-Hawkeye]

Well, here's the thing... this ISN'T the Super Earth Navy, it's the Helldiver Navy. Super Earth has it's own separate naval force that functions as part of the SEAF, so it does have it's own array of destroyers, corvettes, cruisers, battleships, carriers and the like.

The Super Destroyers we use are perfect for the kind of role the Helldivers perform. They get us from one world to another, then provide us with the necessary aerial and orbital support we need for planetary operations.

After giving every single Helldiver their personal Super Destroyer there was no budget for any other ships.

It make sense with the bugs. Since they don't have space born units. But doesnt the Automatons,have ships too?

Wouldn't make it Easier for the Automaton fleets destroy the helldiver's since they only use destroyers?

[abcd]

why would a FTL navy need or want supply ships?

isn't building any bigger just going to create a caliber problem, where the big ships are only good for blowing eachother up and otherwise useless?

[Shaabhekh]

Well, we know there is a Liberty Class Cruiser out here, i believe the shipmaster references it in one of her speeches

Why do we need them? We haven't been fighting other ships in orbit or doing anything else that would require another ship type.

Just dropping by. We know for sure that a Liberty-Class cruiser exists, because of one of the voice lines of the Super Destroyer Staff. Perhaps they will expand the naval options in the future.

the helldivers are an elite task force, like seal team six, not the whole military. They only need 1 type of ship, so they only have 1 type of ship.

It's not every single helldiver, it's only the ones outside of cold storage.

[Maj. Crimes]

You could also argue that the bigger (and more important) ships are not in direct orbit since the helldivers and, by extension, their super destroyers are basically cannon fodder. You can see them getting shot down over automaton planets all the time.

I'm sure they give new recruits the ships of dead helldivers to
