Cruiser
![][image_ship_4_thumb_1] The galactic arms race led to the production of this battlefield predator. Using exceptionally innovative impulse engines, it is best known for being incredibly fast and capable of amazing maneuvers unlike any other ship so far. The Cruiser has an energy field surrounding it, which is the reason for the rather big structure. It's armed with the latest in gauss cannon design. Despite of its lack of explosive power it has strong piercing power which makes a bigger group of Cruisers deadly, even against ships of a higher class. All these qualities make the Cruiser one of the dominant ships on the battlefield.

Note that this type of ship directly attacks defense units (no random factor) and bypasses ships that possess the Shield skill (Guardians/Shieldbots/Absorbers) when doing so.
Purpose: Battleship, 50% bonus to damage against all Defense units
