RE: [GZG]shiproles [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]

"Attack" ships are designed to punch through shields/armour consistently
over several turns (pulse torpedoes, grazers, K-guns etc)
"Strike" ships tend to be one-shot in nature, with lots of ordinance
(salvo missiles, MT missiles, submunition packs etc)
"Escort" ships emphasise area defence and usually have twice as many PDS
as equivalent ships with several ADFC to "reach out and touch someone".
