Oooo wait, now I see. Sorry I was just looking at the first picture and thought they were all the same class. Apologies for my mistake ^^;

Ok so let's see.

1. Devastation Class Cruiser

2. Carnage (I think)

3. 4. The Acheron Heavy Cruiser

5. idk looks like a despoiler but it doesnt have the fancy doodads

6. another Acheron


Now don't take this as fact. I've never actually played BFG so I can't confirm any of this. This is just info I scavenged off google.

Why is there no list with pictures?....

None of them looked like it from the pictures I could find.

Hell if I know on the despoiler. I just saw the 6 little fins on the side of the ship and the only ship I could find a picture of with that was the Despoiler.

The important things to look at when identifying a BFG cruiser are its prow and its sides. Various antennae and other dodads on top are mostly decorative. In this case, they all have the same prow, so focus goes to the sides.

I have my BFG manual right here. They are, in order of the pictures posted:

1) Devastation
2) Murder
3) Slaughter
4) Slaughter (I think)
5) Murder
6) Same as #4

I agree with Cenobite. There is a single Devastator, two Murders and three Slaughters.

Devastator is clearly identifiable by the forward arc launch ports on both sides.

You can identify the Murders by the multiple gunport arrays and six cannons on both sides. The first Murder is missing the cannons, but there is no other ship that would have the gunport arrays.

The three others look like Carnages or Slaughters but the three-barreled guntowers on both sides, two per side, set them clearly apart as Slaughters.
