ONYX CLASS FRIGATE So, you're the crystals and you keep getting those frozen balls of ice? This is your ticket to economic and colonial happiness. The Onyx can heat up those planets to a nice toasty 100 temp. In addition, while these ships are cooking your planets, they can be busy doing other jobs like probe defense and minor web expansion. Yes, it only has the ability to build 3 torps over colonies, but if that is mk7's and mk8's you are increasing webfields by 243-300 web units per turn.

DIAMOND FLAME CLASS BATTLESHIP is a moly eater. Often players look at the 390 Moly as a real liability. And for the non-optimized economy, it definitely is. But look at it from the point of view of Alchemy of one mineral. Moly. The cost in Trit and Dur is negligible. The one real problem with this ship is the small cargo space. It is very vulnerable to minehits because it cannot carry supplies to repair. However, there is a real advantage that this ship has over the similar Victorious; 110 more fuel.
