A good warship. Very hard to scan, but also blind on its on. This ship uses slightly more energy than it can supply, but that shouldn't be much of a factor. Speed is 145. 10 Turbo Lasers are some defense against enemy fighters.
This is your only ship that carries the T2 fighter. But to be honest: The T2 is not really useful. Nice against ships with its missiles, but not enough ordnance to fire more than a few times. The beam weapons cause moderate damage, but have a terrible range. More armor than the T1, but still far too easy to kill by Sand Casters. Nice to have a few fighters that draw fire.
Use this ship to give your enemies a first taste of what is still to come. Surprise weakly defended bases and anything you can find in the enemy empires. Beware of mines - hull mass is only 480.
