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

• + A solid shield for its price range.
• + Only needs the rocket engine, so it is available early.
• – Much slower than the small fighter.
• – Clearly outclassed later by the starcruiser and the Phoenix.

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