1. My Latin is shit. I must apologize.
There's no real character template, as i'm not intending for there to really be a character aspect as there is a ship aspect to this.
2. Crew is just, you know, how much crew you have on your ship. Stuff like that.
3. Space Control Destroyers are just a fancy name for Destroyers. Usually including gratuitous amounts of missiles in their weaponry load-out.
4. The easier route i'd say would be to think what you're aiming for: Direct assault, fire support, or anti-fighter/anti-bomber.
5. Perfect, ForeverBWFC. The fleet receives their ammo in the basic supply provisions from the Golden Gate, but i suppose the Dreadnaught of the fleet has an ammo fabricator for emergencies.
