Evaluation

ADVANTAGES

The Hercules Class has five times the cargo capacity of the Atlas Class for only three times the cost. It also has higher Hull Rating and Shield Rating, making it useful when encountering enemy defenses.

DISADVANTAGES

Once Pulse Drive level 5 is reached, the Hercules Class is slower than the Atlas Class.

NOTE

The Hercules can be used as a fuel tank in colonization along with a Gaia Class Colony ship. It can extend the range of the Gaia Class significantly, only limited by the availability of Hydrogen of the planet launched from. Though the Hercules is carrying the hydrogen as fuel, that hydrogen is expended after launch, and can NOT be recovered, nor reimbursed if the Colony expedition is recalled. The Atlas Class can be used in the same method as well, but has a difference of operating cost in Hydrogen and Cargo space, over speed of a Hercules. Since the Gaia is also extremely slow, there is really no point in sending a faster transport with it, other than to possibly speed up a return trip.
