The Hephaestus Class Attack Platform is the latest in planetary assault technology. It can be deployed into orbit in a solar system and act as a mobile base for your fleet. This ship is currently available for both versions of the game.
Description
The Hephaestus Class is a roving attack platform. A player may only have one of this ship. When first built in your shipyard, it orbits the planet on which it was constructed, however it then may be sent to any open planet slot.
Once in a planet slot, it acts much like a planet. The owner may deploy other ships to it. The Hephaestus itself may be moved (as long as it has no fleets going to or from it) and all ships deployed to it will move along with it for free.
The Hephaestus functions like any other ship in battle. If it is destroyed, all ships deployed to it or on tasks originating from it are lost in space. Resources it holds will contribute to the resulting debris field.
Evaluation
ADVANTAGES
The Hephaestus Class allows you to move your entire fleet from one place to another for one hydrogen cost. It acts much like a planet, in that fleets may be launched to or from it, allowing you to roam around the Universe without destroying colonies that could be used for mining instead.
DISADVANTAGES
The Hephaestus is by far the most expensive unit in the game. It is slow and consumes a lot of hydrogen, which would make it a bad alternative for people who do not have extremely large fleets. It may also be scanned by Probes and the Oracle, and if it is destroyed while fleets are incoming or outgoing from it, all ships in the fleet will be destroyed as well.
