Another attempt at a reference guide by me. This is a copy/paste of a web page I'm writing. When I'm finished, clicking on the destroyer's name will list all the available info about it, the campaigns/missions it was featured in, and any other relevant info I can scrounge up.
Right now this is a bit choppy because my notes while playing through these campaigns were.. sloppy. But I think the info here is reliable.
There is a minor spoiler for Procyon Insurgency in this list, so if you haven't played it yet.. which you should.. don't read.
Blue = Non-canon (ie from a 3rd party campaign [that I've played]).
Green = Defected to NTF.

I'm going to replay all the campaigns I can and take more extensive notes so I can make this crappy list into a FREDing resource. Also maybe add some more non-canon destroyers. I figure the GTA finished about 20 or 30 Orions by 2335, so the list needs a bit more filling out.
Can anyone spot any errors? Any destroyers to add to the list?

what happpened to the vasudans and shivans?

Starting with the Terrans .. I'm one man, can't bite off too much. :P

You might fight my ship database useful for this, which I think was incorporated into the wiki at some point. It contains information for all the official FS2 ships, although I never got around to doing the FS1 ones. I also used this (http://pi.hard-light.net/extras/piships.txt) to keep track of everything of in PI while it was under construction.
This looks like a cool idea in any case. The only thing you may want to watch out for are any inconsistencies between campaigns, where two campaigns use the same official ship in different ways. I can't think of any examples off the top of my head though.

Yep, I got a lot of the info for the original FS2 campaign from your DB, which is extremely helpful. :) I plan on giving FS1 a playthrough to catch all of those.
Thanks for the link - are the "hostile" GTVA ships those that defected to the PCA?

Yes. I think I'll have to figure out matters of precedent like that on a case by case basis. I consider Warzone and Derelict to be practically canon, so they'll override other campaigns if there's a conflict, for example.

Don't forget:
Orion class
NTD Guderian (destroyed during Pandora's Box)
NTD Ludwick (destroyed during Pandora's Box)
Hecate class
GTD Pandora (Pandora's Box; briefly captured by NTF, recaptured by GTVA; later hunts NTF stragglers in Regulus after the Colossus moves through)

Edited in, thanks sir.

Very, very cool idea. :yes:
Praytell, will you be moving beyond Destroyers in the future?

Yes, those are the 6th Fleet rebels you run into in the first few missions. I just put them in the GTVA category to distinguish them from the ships in the PCA fleets and to indicate that they were friendly until just before the campaign starts.

GTD Galen, Orion-class from Second Front.
Not sure how much history you're looking for, but in a nutshell, it serves as the flagship of the Altair fleet. Though it was called to reinforce the Third Fleet in Capella, the shivans blew the Capella sun before the Galen ever arrived on the front. As of March 10, 2368, the Galen is still in service.
-
GTD Master, from my single mission Homecoming and campaign Operation Savior. Orion-class.
I'll get you started on Vasudan too. :P
Typhon-class
PVD Hope
PVD Pinnacle
PVD Prophecy (defected to HoL, fate unknown)
PVD Anvil (defected to HoL, destroyed)
PVD Anhur
I know I'm missing two of them, one appeared with the Anhur, the other was in King's Gambit.
-

Perhaps I'll move to Corvettes and Cruisers later, but I'd like to nail down a fairly comprehensive destroyer reference first.
Thanks BlueFlames & ngtm1r - will add.
-
Few unknown class destroyers more...
GTD Goliath
GTD Eisenhower
-
You WANT non-canon destroyer in there too?
ERm..lemme see.....from Flames of War (Chapter 1)
ORION
GTD Victory
GTD Gargantum (NTF)
HEACTE
GTD Despair (NTF)
GTD Delacroix (non-cannnon)
-
OK, I have added all of these to my personal list and am going to play through all the campaigns I can get my hands on to try and fit in some more plausible destroyers. Including the Vasudans and Shivans this time.
I'll re-bump when finished and project is complete.
-
You forgot GTD Warlock - Hecate from the Warzone campaign. along with GTD Valis *i believe thats how i spell it* - Orion
-

Ah yeah, Warzone - thanks! I've been waiting for the new version before playing through it again.
Valis? Maybe it was Valen? I'll check?
-
More Orions:
- GTD Valius (Warzone; destroyed by SD Revial)
- GTD Agamemnon (Cardinal Spear and CS:Vega; victorious at Battle of Talania 8/24/31; strikes deep into Vasudan territory to destroy a primary shipyard the following day, but loses all but one of its accompanying fleet ships)

- GVD Hedetet (canon)
- GVD Imhotep (canon)
- HLD Tanis (canon)
- PVD Crossbow (Awakenings; constructed at Vasuda 5 shipyards 2338, but never actually seen)

- GVD Buto (mine; hunted NTF stragglers in Regulus 2367; marked as MIA, as of 4 days before Capella's explosion)
- GVD Defender (mine; built 2337, destroyed by NTF 2367, will not be seen onscreen)
- GVD Abydos (Pandora's Box; fights the NTF)

I appreciate the effort, but JAD might be a little bit too non-canon ;) Although they should be referenceable somewhere.. probably this belongs on the FSWiki entry for JAD.
-
if you include JAD then your GTVA Colossus list would be almost as long as the orion. and yes, i know that the colossus technically isn't a destroyer.
-
Into The Depths of Hell campaign Destoryers- Exile Fleet had 4 Hecate, 2 Orion *one was destroyed by the SSD Diablo*, 2 Tython *one destroyed by that shivin carrier forgot the name*, and 2 or 3 Hatshephat destroyer. then later on the remains of the NTF and HoL.
-
there was also a couple mod destroyers in itdoh. the orion phase 2 is the only one i can recall right now. i believe it was called the NTD Victoria

Ships from JAD! :D
You forgot my favorite... GTD Wizard of Amiguity? (~Ked). :D
There are so many obscure ships in JAD that have only a few seconds of screen time that it probably isn't worth the effort to list them all.
-
Well, the Hades is a superdestroyer, and Alikchi doesn't seem to be listing them, so I didn't include any of the Hades in JAD.
I like the Wizard of Ambiguity too... maybe. :D
