Warship

The warship costs about twice as much as a small fighter, but it has twice the hull, almost twice the firepower and three times the shield. That makes it far more durable in battle.

Strengths and weaknesses

• + Bonus damage against the Mortar and the Ion cannon – ideal against early defenses.
• + Only needs the rocket engine, so it is available early.
• – Slower than the small fighter and burns more fuel.
• – The Ion cannon deals bonus damage to warships in return.

In the early game the warship is the best step up until your Diffusion engine is ready for the Star cruiser.
