Evaluation

ADVANTAGES

The Ares Class specializes in crushing enemy defenses, possessing Rapid Fire versus many defensive weapons. Furthermore, once Warp Drive level 8 is achieved, the engines are upgraded from Pulse Drive to Warp Drive and the base speed changes to 5,000.

DISADVANTAGES

The Ares Class is relatively slow, and does not possess Rapid Fire against any combat ships, making it less effective in fleet versus fleet combat. It also has a high fuel cost.

Although it does not have advantages in fleet engagements, its hull and shield rating is stronger than the Athena Class battleship, and has a better chance of weathering and taking out an onslaught of Athenas before it is destroyed.
