Hades Class Battleship

Evaluation

ADVANTAGES

Due to its rapid fire against the Poseidon, Athena, Apollo, Hercules and Atlas, the Hades Class is great for ship-to-ship combat. Its expected damage output is higher than Athena Class in most situations considering rapid fire. Its tremendous speed and fuel efficiency makes it significantly more agile than the Prometheus and even the Athena.

DISADVANTAGES

The Hades has a high crystal and hydrogen cost to build, making it much more expensive than the Athena Class Battleship. Its cargo hold is 1/2 the size of the Athena Class, which makes its range deployment limited at the expense of speed. The Hades does not have rapid fire against any planet defenses so pairing it with an ares would be beneficial in most cases.
