The game Star Trek: Armada has a number of ships that do serve different roles resp. are of a specific type. Here is an overview of the most important distinctions of ship types:
| Type | Role/Task |
|---|---|
| Scout | Mean for reconnaissance, weak offensive and defensive capabilities. |
| Destroyer | Small but fast attack vessel, low offensive and defensive capabilities. |
| Cruiser | Attack vessel of medium strength. |
| Battleship | The (almost) most powerful ships in the game. |
| Super Weapon | The most powerful but also most expensive ships. They deal massive amounts of damage, but can do so only once. |
| Caster | Weak conventional ship properties but four powerful Special Weapons, meant to support other ships. |
| Constructor | Ships that construct all stations of the game. |
| Freighter | Resource harvesters |
| Hero Ships | No specific role for the multiplayer but in single player serving as strong hero units. |
| Artillery | Ships with long range but no short range weapons. Slow and fragile. |
| Assault Ship | Ships meant for taking over opponent's ships and stations. |
