VALIANT WIND CLASS CARRIER is often a ship without a purpose. The three launch bays are insufficient to make it an effective carrier against big carriers and against torpers, it doesn't have the mass to last long enough to do any real damage. But!!! There is a function for this warship. If you can afford the fighters, this ship is a wonderful Patriot Killer. Potentially, it can kill 3 Patriots in one battle. Although, it may cost more money to have done the job, killing 3 enemy ships with one is worthwhile.

DETH SPECULA CLASS FRIGATE is a good heavy hitter in situations where you're assured not to have to fight more than one battle, or using it as a front ships. It also makes a good planetary raider. But due to its' small fuel tank, you're often better served by using the Resolute.

RED WIND CLASS CARRIER has caused many players to ask...WHY? It has no range, no combat ability and is tech 8??? It's a potential trade to the Colonials and it makes for a nice fighter mover when you're wanting to beef up forward bases. Beyond that, it's usefulness is almost nil.

DARKWING CLASS BATTLESHIP is the best bang for the buck battleship in the game. Two less torps than the Nova or Annihilation and costs 1/2 or less in minerals to build. The birds can build these in large numbers and become quite deadly. The weakness of the Darkwing is the fuel tank.
