sorry but nope. Also a Useless ship. Wat is up with the insect ships? Well anyways this ship is not good in battle. Just like i said to the other ship that has a bug name this ship my stand against 5 destoyers, but it can only destroy one. Even in a class3 battle it will take 5 of these to destroy a cruiser, but it will only take one to destroy on tarantula. Although outnumbering the enemy with tarantulas would work, but I say in a way this ship is also too powerful. not only is it not good against a class3 battle if this ship out nubers the enemy, this ship can't even be destroyed indirectly like most ships. If you look at the class2 ships you will see that most can be destroyed by a apollo cruiser. This ship makes it so that it can only be destroyed by brute force. Not good for people that don't use class2 ships.

Its okay but its nothing special, to be honest it has no abilities so really its just another ship...

I know wat the purpose was, but think about it! There is no way for people who can't make good class2 ships to fight this ship. Think about those people who use class3 ship becuase they can't build eagles or troikas. Those people have a huge advantage over the class3 guys even thought i'm not one of them. Have you seens a class2 ship with that much lp? You can easily combine this ship with shield genterators and have a nearly indestructable fleet.

[mackman]

I think all races can build 1 or the other eagles or troikas.I personaly like the ship and think is ok.Appolos are to strong and there needed something that they cant touch.Just like the spectre cant kill the blockade runner.

valid point, but as you see, there has to be a weakness that all classes should have. class1: cyclops, spectre, dreadnought
Class2: apollo cruiser
class3: Missle-launcher(not much of a weakness =P )

[mackman]

Weakness would be troikas or eagles so they not Indestructable.Doomstar another weakness.

I dont know if anyone would use a whole fleet of these anyway they look like they could be good to draw fire away from other ships like eagles.Use a few of these with some eagles maybe like that.

if someone don t use class 2 that is there problem this ship teaches them a lesson
(it can be overpowered by 2 destroyers.

You need 5 destroyers. And even if it had 10 ap, this ship would be too powerful. It takes 40 mp to destroy this thing with destroyers and this ship cost only half. I think it is more a light cruiser than a heavy destroyer.

[kamekaze6]

more mp then?!?!!

[JaM]

Nope, I think moving to class 3 is a better solution.
