The Torpedo Boats combine small size, low freeboard and high speed, which help them approach dangerously close to battleships and unleash a powerful load of torpedoes. Torpedo Boat: Designed solely to deliver the deadly new torpedo against capital ships, the Torpedo Boat is the smallest war vessel you may build. Destroyers are particularly effective versus battleships, because their small size, speed and maneuverability allow them to approach and launch devastating torpedoes against them. They may stand in the line of battle in the absence of Battleships or Battlecruisers, or serve as flagships on distant colonial stations.ĭestroyer: The “Destroyer” category of warship is specifically designed to carry strong torpedo armament to threaten capital ships and sufficient firepower to defend the fleet against smaller craft, such as Torpedo Boats. The “Heavy Cruisers” have stronger armour and heavier guns, so they are potentially more powerful at the cost of being more expensive, less maneuverable and more detectable. The “Light Cruisers” are suitable for distant commerce raiding or defense against enemy torpedo craft, or can threaten even battleships if they carry torpedo armament. Heavy/Light Cruiser: Cruisers are ships that fulfill various naval roles depending on their armour and weaponry. However, Battlecruisers are not suitable to fight versus heavily armoured Battleships, unless they can fire effectively with safety from very long distances. Battlecruisers are undoubtedly superior compared to smaller cruisers and are ideal for distant commerce escort or raid operations, as they can hit hard and escape using their high speed. Battleships can execute any operational role but due to being so valuable, it is risky to send them into combat without sufficient escort.īattlecruiser: A ship that combines the size and firepower of a battleship with the speed and maneuverability of a cruiser. They are large targets and need heavy armour to be sufficiently protected from incoming fire. Battleships have immense firepower embodied in their large guns capable of destroying smaller ships with even a single shot.
So feel free to pair them with each other to cause physical pain in real life to those who dare use the coilgun.Battleship: The biggest and most expensive type of warship you can built. These ships, along with the shield booster warmod, are the banes of the coilgun's existence.Equipping these ships with the Shield Booster warmod is ideal due to their large shield pool however, doing so will decrease their PvE capabilities as lost HP will need to be regenerated at a station.These ships are basically shield-based counterparts of the Stronghold line, so in certain situations, i.e your opponents using coilguns or railguns, the Righteous line would be the best at tanking.
The best loadout for this ship is full coilguns or cannons with shield booster. Its powerful broadsides allows it to fire all of its turrets at once Template:Destroyer recipe template mk.IThe Justice is a well-rounded and powerful warship, and the prized destroyer of the Lycentian Starfleet.īig and Bulky, this destroyer proves to be a very formidable adversary when used right. Template:Fighter/Ceptor Template Mk4 Statistics Hull booster warmod is also reccommended. Once again, beams and coilguns are the best loadouts for this frigate. The Virtue is a tanky warship that excels in PvE when used right and isn't too bad for PvP either. It finds itself taking on many different roles in the Lycentian Navy. Like many Lycentian ships, the Virtue is a blocky (and thus sturdy) frigate warship. Its a good PvE ship all in all, and holds its own in PvP.įull beams and full coilguns are good loadouts, with hull booster as the warmod. The liberty is tanky and sluggish, but a formidable adversary on the field of battle. It is the Lycentian go-to for routine patrols, station defense, and filling out a combat fleet. The Liberty corvette is a sturdy and powerful warship.
