Cruiser
With the development of heavy lasers and ion cannons, fighters increasingly came under pressure. Despite many modifications, weapon strength and armor could not be increased enough to effectively counter these defense guns. It was therefore decided to design a new ship class that combined more armor and more firepower. The Cruiser was born. Cruisers are almost three times as heavily armored as heavy fighters and have more than double the firepower. They are also very fast. Against medium defense, there is no better weapon. Cruisers ruled space unchallenged for almost a century. Their dominance ended with the advent of Gauss cannons and plasma turrets. However, they are still gladly used against fighter squadrons today.
