Perhaps I used the word 'monster' a bit too often so far. Look what we have here:
Speed 190, 850 hyper jump, a World Crusher. Clear?
Since The Shadow cannot buy Exotic Techs the World Crusher on the Never-Dawn is not able to fire through base shields.
But a Hull Mass 7000, no soft spot, plenty of shields and armor speak for themselves. A few T1 fighters to draw some fire.
This is your first ship that can jump between your clusters. Use it where it is needed. Use it to tow Dices and sweep mines. This might not be the most powerful ship you have, but it is the fastest and you need no Gate to have it!
One last advise: You cannot repair your ships and one single point of damage to the hyper drive will disable it. It might be smart to use this one just to blow up bases and to fight battles you know you win.
Oh - one very last thing. A destroyed Never-Dawn might encourage some ominous Elders to appear. This doesn't happen often, but don't you think the Never-Dawn stood a chance against these guys.
