So the latest CG has the Empire building 3 more Majestic Interdictors. The previous Fed CG had the Feds build 3 Farragut class Battlecruisers. It seems like every time one side builds one the other does so as well. Is there an official count somewhere of how well armed the Feds and the Imps are at this point? Maybe some Lore on the number of capital ships each side has. Would be nice to keep track.
How many Capital Ships are there?

Kestril, thanks for the list. However I dont believe that includes the capital ships built in the recent CG events. I think the Federation already built 4 or 5 Farragut class Battlecruisers, and I was sure that they started out with more than 8.
These are only the ones we have seen, that have appeared in the game. No-one knows how many there are in total; there has never been an official lore statement as to the exact sizes of the rival fleets. I'd assume there'd be at least a hundred for each side.
We also don't know what classes they are. One should assume that not all the capital ships in the fleets are "battlecruisers" and "interdictors". Just because FD are too lazy to implement them, does not mean they do not exist in lore. The word "battlecruiser", for example, implies the existence of "battleships" - slower, more heavily armoured versions, with more firepower. One could also surmise other classes: "carriers" (with ten times the number of fighters), "troopships" (with very little offensive or defensive weaponry that need to be protected by escorts), etc.
On the other hand, the Empire naming an Interdictor after the reigning emperor at the time (Hengist Duval) implies that they don't have anything bigger or more grandiose to honour the emperor's name with.

Did we ever find out what actually happened to that thing?
3 more than last week!
I'm damned sure there was a dev statement that each side has thirteen, can't find it though - it'll be from a few years back.
There also was a pirate battlecruiser.
There are only 2 capital ship types though... The Farragut and Majestic Class Interdictor. This game needs (lots) more capital ship types. Like carriers, capital freighters, capital industrial ships etc.
Capital ship battles are only 2 capitals at once. I want to see more than 2 capitals in the same instance for epic space battles.
