Per-ship scale/speed factors and updated race/class doc
Give each ship an explicit sprite scale (tuned per role so an Interceptor/Gunship/Bomber/Support/Heavy reads the same size across all 3 races, then reduced another 25% per feedback that ships felt oversized) and a movement speed_factor pulled from a shared SPEED_BY_ROLE table, so e.g. every race's Interceptor moves at the same speed as every other race's. GameConfig carries both through to ship_movement.gd, which now scales thrust/max_speed by the chosen ship's factor. Rewrite overview/racesclasses.md to match what's actually implemented: real ship names/roles for Terran Republic and Vorg Swarm, fill in the previously-undocumented Mechanos Sovereignty roster, and correct the chosen-race list now that Vorg Swarm (bio/acid swarm, matching the uploaded art) replaced Void Wraiths as the third chosen race.

> **Current in-game status:** The team selection screen uses temporary placeholder names ("Terran Federation", "The Collective", "Iron Order") with placeholder sprites until proper art and lore are integrated for the 3 chosen races.

> **Current in-game status:** Team selection now uses the real race names and real ship art for all 3 chosen races (`assets/images/ships/<race>/`). Each race has its own 5-ship roster — Interceptor, Gunship, Bomber, Support, Heavy — matching the tables below. See `team_select.gd`.

| # | Ship | Role | Description |
|
||||
|---|------|------|-------------|
|
||||
| 1 | **Falcon** | Interceptor | Fast all-rounder. Standard guns, high agility. Best 1v1 duelist. |
|
||||
| 2 | **Devastator** | Bomber | Launches grenades + missiles with large splash radius. Slow, massive damage. |
|
||||
| 3 | **Sentinel** | Support | Deploys repair drones + turrets. Allies can attach. Mobile spawn point. |
|
||||
| 4 | **Ranger** | Stealth | Cloaks, fires a single high-damage sniper shot, recloaks. |
|
||||
| 5 | **Juggernaut** | Heavy | Armored fortress. Drops proximity mines, fires suppression bursts. Near-unkillable solo. |
|
||||
| 1 | **Warframe** | Interceptor | Very fast, rapid weak laser bursts. Built to close distance instantly and chip away at anything in range. |
|
||||
| 2 | **Striker** | Gunship | Super fast fire rate, very low damage lasers. Trades hitting power for volume of fire. |
|
||||
| 3 | **Deployer** | Bomber | Fast lasers plus an EMP mine dropped in your wake. Strong for area denial and covering a retreat. |
|
||||
| 4 | **Link Node** | Support | Lasers plus a small repair pack dropped for allies to pick up. Keeps a team topped off in prolonged fights. |
|
||||
| 5 | **Bastion** | Heavy | Tankier and slower, but its laser hits harder than anything else in the fleet. Anchors a push. |

### Race 4 — Mechanos Sovereignty ✅ Chosen
|
||||
**Weapon type:** Railgun / Drone / EMP
|
||||
**Visual:** Perfectly geometric chrome-and-gold ships. No organic curves. Modular, interchangeable parts. Clearly machine-made.
|
||||
**Feel:** Pure precision AI. Railgun sniping, drone swarms, and tactical disruption.
|
||||
**Weapon type:** Cannon / Missile
|
||||
**Visual:** Heavy industrial war machines, chrome-and-gunmetal plating, red accent lighting. Modular, interchangeable parts. Clearly machine-made.
|
||||
**Feel:** Brute-force industrial muscle. Durable, hard-hitting, built to grind a fight down rather than outmaneuver it.
|
||||
|
||||
| # | Ship | Role | Description |
|
||||
|---|------|------|-------------|
|
||||
| 1 | **Warframe** | Interceptor | Fires precise railgun bursts. Fast. Rewards aim skill. |
|
||||
| 2 | **Fabricator** | Bomber | Deploys explosive drone clusters — set-and-forget area denial. |
|
||||
| 3 | **Core Hub** | Support | Broadcasts repair nanobots to nearby allies. Creates mobile spawn beacon. |
|
||||
| 4 | **Phantom Unit** | Stealth | Hacks enemy targeting — turns off their HUD radar briefly. Hard to detect. |
|
||||
| 5 | **Siege Engine** | Heavy | Locks into stationary mode for massive railgun barrage. Vulnerable while moving. |
|
||||
| 1 | **Sentinel** | Interceptor | A light scout mech with twin rapid cannons. Fast and maneuverable for a Mechanos hull. |
|
||||
| 2 | **Vanguard** | Gunship | Dual autocannons built for sustained fire. Durable enough to hold a line, fast enough to reposition. |
|
||||
| 3 | **Ravager** | Bomber | Drops heavy ordnance and mines from its cargo pods. Best used to seal off a chokepoint. |
|
||||
| 4 | **Aegis** | Support | Projects a short-range shield and deploys a repair drone for nearby allies. |
|
||||
| 5 | **Colossus** | Heavy | A walking fortress bristling with cannons. Slow and telegraphed, but absorbs enormous damage. |
|

### Race 5 — Void Wraiths ✅ Chosen
|
||||
**Weapon type:** Dark Energy / Gravity / Phase
|
||||
**Visual:** Inky black ships with white particle trails. Look like holes in space. Shifting, unstable edges. Eerie.
|
||||
**Feel:** Terrifying and unpredictable. Gravity wells, phase attacks, hard to pin down.
|
||||
### Race 3 — Vorg Swarm ✅ Chosen
|
||||
**Weapon type:** Bio / Acid (DoT)
|
||||
**Visual:** Organic insectoid creatures rather than built ships — chitin, wings, bioluminescent glow. No two look mechanically alike.
|
||||
**Feel:** Chaotic organic swarm. Corrosive damage-over-time chips away at anyone who lingers nearby.
|
||||
|
||||
| # | Ship | Role | Description |
|
||||
|---|------|------|-------------|
|
||||
| 1 | **Shade** | Interceptor | Partially phases — hard to hit. Fires void energy bolts. |
|
||||
| 2 | **Rift Caster** | Bomber | Opens gravity rifts that pull nearby enemies toward the center then collapse. |
|
||||
| 3 | **Nexus Wraith** | Support | Creates phase portals allies can teleport through. Ally rally point. |
|
||||
| 4 | **Specter** | Stealth | Fully phased and invisible. Only visible for 0.3s when firing. |
|
||||
| 5 | **Void Titan** | Heavy | Absorbs incoming damage, then releases it all in a single omni-directional burst. |
|
||||
| 1 | **Stinger** | Interceptor | Fast, acid shots with light damage-over-time. Swarms a target from range. |
|
||||
| 2 | **Spitter** | Gunship | Faster-firing acid with a stronger damage-over-time effect. Sustained corrosive pressure. |
|
||||
| 3 | **Broodling** | Bomber | Normal acid shots that also spawn a small slowing swarm cloud. Locks down a retreat or chokepoint. |
|
||||
| 4 | **Nurse** | Support | Acid shots plus a small health/regeneration pack dropped for allies. |
|
||||
| 5 | **Behemoth** | Heavy | Tankier and slower, with heavy acid shots that carry a large damage-over-time effect. The swarm's apex predator. |
