propaganda ship (class 1 ship)

this non-firing, carrier class ship is designed to demoralize the enemys troops, broadcast propaganda messages and has a special function which can cripple an opponent from the inside. when it activates, it creates 1 class 2 espionage vessel in the enemys fleet. (caution!) the propaganda ship will destroy all other propaganda ships in your fleet.

Another one of my inventions. I am starting to build a nice collection now! I really like thinking of the strategic possibilities of this ship but maybe that's just me. It could probably use some adjustments but the concept is pretty straight forward.

It should be seen in combination with the ship it creates: the Espionage Vessel.

why does it create the espionage vessel in the enemy fleet?
if it ends the class 2 battle, it has the same effect like the evasor

I will admit, to be used efficiently it will have to be used in unconventional tactics, but there are independent, strategic purposes for it that could not be accomplished by the Evasor. It has the same end effect but it is a completely different ship, in essence. It is suppost to throw a wrench in the cogs of the enemy's plans by potentially ending class combat early, typically before all their other ships get a chance to fire. If they are trying to do major damage, they certainly wont appreciate the free "evasor-type" ship in their fleet at that point. It also creates a class 2 combat in the enemy's fleet, if there would normally be an absence of one, which also has alot of potential uses and could cause a whole world of hurt. You can alternatively call this ship the "smile-upside-downatron".

Damn. I still think this thing rocks.

How about making the propaganda ship class 2 and the espionage vessel class 3. There isn't any ship to end class 3 battles yet. Of course the propaganda ship should need a lot more manpower, because it would be far more powerful.
