VP (Ops) Torus has announced a return to "nautical" terms for the different ship types in the NS fleet. This is because of the confusion about what terms like Fleet Combat Ship and Medium Combat Ship mean.
Fleet Combat Ships like the Panther and Mulberry will be known as Cruisers while Isometric and Corkscrew Medium Combat Ships will instead be known as Destroyers. Smaller patrol ships will simply be called Patrol Ships. Torus hoped this would remove any uncertainty and confusion moving forward.
