Zeus Class
Evaluation
ADVANTAGES
The Zeus Class is the ultimate warship. It possesses Rapid Fire against every other unit 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, 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 twenty times slower than the pitiful 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.

Easter Eggs
The design of the Zeus class seems to be based on the Death Star from Star Wars. Unfortunately there is no rapid fire chance for a lone Apollo to destroy a Zeus.
