metamorphiter (class 1 ship)

this kazuuulan ship is actually the bio-mechanically reinforced larva of the giant kazuuulan insect-beast known as the meta-wing. the kazuuula have been unable to domesticate meta-wings for millieniums until recent technology, stolen from the nanite race, made it possible to control the meta-wing and its larva through nano-implantation and a form of artifical hive-mind. if the metamorphiter is attacked in class battle and survives it will undergo metamorphisis to evolve into a meta-wing.

My first attempt (since coming out of retirement) at putting pen to one of my ideas I have been kicking around for the Kazuuula. I feel I did a half-ass decent job balancing it and not making it too powerful while still have some sort of strategical purpose, but suggestions for twerks and tweaks are appreciated!

It should actually have some kind of syntax to temporarily displace itself out of the fleet until the end of the whole battle but I did not know how to construct that syntax.
