The Multi-Class Ship Tree (MCST) is a mod that works to expand the current Vanilla ship tree, while also tweaking and improving some of the original ships' stats. Its purpose was to recreate the feeling as to what it was like first playing Survival Mode in 2016 and 2017. The ship tree also includes ships from the KEST ship tree, a ship tree that has been used in ACW/AOW, and also includes ships that are from the Original Racing mod and the current SRC championship mod. It has 6 tiers, each with 4 different classes (Fighter, Support, Heavy, Speedster). The mod author is SChickenman, a modder that has worked on Battle Royale and the Original Racing mod, as well as the current SRC championship mod. It has a total of 220 ships that were made by SChickenman and various members of the Starblast community.
Classes
Fighter Class:
The Fighter class starts off with the well known Tier 1 Fly. It composes of ships that have a normal amount of every aspect of a ship. They have a decent amount of speed, a decent amount of fire power, a decent amount of shield and a decent amount of mass. They perform well at countering Speedster class ships, but Heavy class ships have a larger advantage over them. This is because Fighter class ships are unable to completely out-maneuver Heavy class ships and their mass is too high for Fighter class ships to push back.
Heavy Class:
The Heavy class starts off with the Tier 1 Bee, a small but heavy ship. It composes of ships that are better at self defense rather than offence. These ships have a large amount of shield, a large amount of fire power, a large amount of mass, but with the consequence of low speed, and sometimes, low agility. They perform well at countering Fighter class ships, but Speedster class ships usually has an advantage over them. This is because Speedster class ships are able out-maneuver Heavy class ships using RCS and their high amount of speed.
Speedster class:
The Speedster class starts off with the Tier 1 Mite, a small but fast ship. It composes of ships that are better at offence rather than defense. These ships have a high amount of speed, a high amount of agility, a large amount of fire power, but with the consequence of low shield and low mass. They perform well at attacking basically any class, but Fighter class ships are usually able to destroy them. The Fighter class has strong enough lasers to stun the Speedster class ships to the point where they are unable to completely out-maneuver them. Although, Speedster class ships perform well against Heavy class ships and are able to out-maneuver them.
Support class:
The Support class starts off with the Tier 1 Hauler, a simple ship with a rapid firing cannon. This class is the most unique class out of all the other classes. There is really no set definition for this class, because it composes of ships that has all features of every other class, or a mixture of different classes. It composes of ships that have sniper like features, it composes of ships that are small tanks, it composes of ships that are large but light, and more. The average Support class ship will perform well against any other class. It all really depends what ship you are using.
Gameplay
When you first enter the game, you are given the option of choosing 4 different Tier 1 ships. Each option will show the name of the ship and the class type. The Tier 1 classes are as follows: Fly Fighter-Class, Bee Heavy-Class, Mite Speedster-Class, and Hauler Support-Class. Once you have choosen one of the 4 ships, you will find yourself in an extremely large map. Your goal is to mine asteroids and get yourself to Tier 6 as fast as possible, while also defending yourself from other players who may attack you. You have the option to form alliances with other players, or go as a lonewolf. You have 30 minutes to prepare for the activation of Survival. Once Survival mode is activated, your goal is to be the last one alive.
