It is more of a planetoid than a ship, with a base speed a twentieth of the pathetic 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 hours warning before it would actually strike.  It can also be an effective turtle buster on players that become inactive while in d-mode. Sadly the Zeus is a very ineffective ship. For the same resource cost a player can build approx. 82 Prometheus Class Destroyer's which are more effective in 95% of all battle's. Run some simulations on battle calc if you do not believe this.

The Zeus Class is utterly worthless. 78.26 Proms is far superior in virtually every way.

The Zeus is the heaviest assault unit. Its massive firepower is unrivalled.


Evaluation

ADVANTAGES

The Zeus Class is the ultimate warship. It possesses Rapid Fire against most other units 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 (see the Ineffectiveness Rule), and it can bring down every other ship and defense with a single hit except for other Zeus Class and Hephaestus Class Attack Platforms.
