The '''Icarus''' is a large-sized carrier with very good combat capabilities. With its [[Turrets]] and 3 [[Valkyrie]]s, the '''Icarus''' is a powerful combat-based [[:Category:Carrier|Carrier]]. Unlike most Carriers, it has very good Turret firepower and can fight against a variety of ships, ranging from small [[:Category:Frigate|Frigates]] to large [[:Category:Battleship|Battleships]]. It may even destroy [[:Category:Dreadnought|Dreadnoughts]] without much trouble, though this requires [[:Category:Fighters|Fighter]] support and skill. | The '''Icarus''' is a large-sized carrier with very good combat capabilities.

The ship is entered through the [[:Category:Fighters|Fighter]] bay, which leads to a teleporter that sends you to the bridge. From there you walk forward to enter the pilot's seat. | The ship is entered through the [[:Category:Fighters|Fighter]] bay, which leads to a teleporter that sends you to the bridge.
