The '''Executioner''' is a [[Ships|Carrier]] that houses two [[Hunter]]s, which are powerful Battlecruiser-like fighters. Unlike most carriers, the '''Executioner '''does not rely fully on its fighters for damage output, as it is equipped with powerful [[Spinals|Spinal]] and [[Turrets|Turret]] weaponry, as well as having a good healthpool to tank damage. | The '''Executioner''' is a [[Ships|Carrier]] that houses two [[Hunter]]s, which are powerful Battlecruiser-like fighters.

== Advantages == | ==Advantages== | ||
* | *High overall damage output; its average DPS is comparable to that of many [[:Category:Dreadnought|Dreadnoughts]]. | ||
* | |||
* | *Relatively cheap to fully outfit with AI Fighters, as it only has 2 fighters. | ||
* | *Great speed and mobility for its class; its maneuverability rivals that of the [[Leviathan]]'s. | ||
*Its [[Hunter|Hunters]] are very strong; they can be compared to [[:Category:Battlecruiser|Battlecruisers]] firepower-wise and have the 2nd highest health in their class, right behind the [[Elanis]]. | |||
* The fighters can | * The fighters can still be used even when recalled, due to them being directly attached to the ship's structure. | ||
* | ==Disadvantages== | ||
* | *Lacks significant long range weaponry. | ||
* | *Requires good Spinal aiming skills in order to use this ship to its full potential. | ||
* | * Because of their positioning, the fighters are also directly exposed to enemy fire and can be easily destroyed when unreleased. | ||
== Strategy == | *Pretty expensive compared to other options. | ||
* Warp to a base, release [[:Category:Fighters|Fighters]] and warp out. For max damage, let the hunters tank first and deal damage with your turrets. | ==Strategy== | ||
* Use the [[:Category:Fighters|Fighters]] as a distraction for the [[Starbase]] [[Turrets]] or even enemy [[Ships]] as they might overreact seeing your Battlecruiser-sized [[:Category:Fighters|Fighters]]. | *Warp to a base, release [[:Category:Fighters|Fighters]] and warp out.
