*Due to most of its health being [[Shields|Shield-based]], this ship struggles to tank Starbases from below, where a Starbase's turrets have the least lines of sight but also where the starbase's heavy laser armament is focused. This makes the '''Judgement''' worse for using as a tank in sieges than almost any other Dreadnought, most of which have high Hull health or a good balance between Hull and Shield health. | *Due to most of its health being [[Shields|Shield-based]], this ship struggles to tank Starbases from below, where a Starbase's turrets have the least lines of sight but also where the starbase's heavy laser armament is focused.

*If | *If your other teammates happen to have a '''Judgement''', always try to use it in a group of at least two or more of the same ship. This allows you to ambush enemies with a combined alpha damage that will instantaneously cripple most normal [[:Category:Capital Ship|capital ships]], if not destroy them; as well as having enough health to get away without being destroyed. | ||

* | *If you're going to use this ship in PvP, be wary of other [[:Category:Capital Ship|Capital Ships]] (more specifically, Dreadnoughts) that far exceed your damage output; as they can often wither down your health faster than you can force them to retreat with your alpha damage. If you happen to be caught in such a situation, warp out of range of the ship but keep your weaponry in range at first. Once they warp to you, volley them again and warp away; continue this until you force the threat to retreat and if it is crippled, chase after it(unless there is a fleet supporting it). | ||
