High ratio of shields to armor since they're on point. Their primary purpose is to reduce attrition in my destroyer group. One common use for cruisers for me, especially when I first get them, is as a 'light assault carrier'. I don't see a lot of people getting creative with their battle groups, after all, it's a lot easier to just make all corvettes then all battleships, but there's tons of room to play, especially in single player.īesides getting lucky with fast cruiser tech and amoebas or strike craft and just. I love cruisers! It's the first chassis with hangars and a lot of hull, but are about 25% FASTER than battleships.
