Zeus Class

The Zeus is the heaviest assault unit. Its massive firepower is unrivalled.

Evaluation

ADVANTAGES

The Zeus Class is the ultimate warship. It possesses Rapid Fire against most other units in the universe except the Plasma Cannon, Large Decoy, Decoy, and Hephaestus Class Attack Platform. Furthermore, its massive hull and shield ratings make it difficult to destroy (see the Ineffectiveness Rule), and it can bring down every other ship and defense with a single hit except for other Zeus Class and Hephaestus Class Attack Platforms.

DISADVANTAGES

It is more of a planetoid than a ship, with a base speed a twentieth of the pathetic speed of a Dionysus Class. It's incredibly expensive both to research and to build. Due to the expense, it can make the owner a target for those who think it would look better in their recyclers. It is best used as a defense, as any attacker who used it in an attack would be giving days warning before it would actually strike.

Additional Very Obvious Information

The Zeus Class is drawn to look extremely close to the Death Star from Star Wars. It does look alot like the death star.
