*Durable shielding allows you to tank a high amount of damage and escape with a relatively low risk of being chased afterwards, as long as you aren't hulled. | |||

*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.

*On paper the Judgement seems useful for sieging, and while it is able to siege, it doesn't do so very well in practice thanks to the mediocre damage output over time. | *On paper the Judgement seems useful for sieging, and while it is able to siege, it doesn't do so very well in practice thanks to the mediocre damage output over time. | ||

*If you find a slow [[:Category:Battlecruiser|Battlecruiser]] or a Miner like the [[Commercial Miner]], warp under them and unleash your alpha damage.

*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). | *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 see a crippled capital ship attempting to retreat to it's base, chase it down and destroy it with your heavy-hitting turret armament. Your [[Shields]] should be able to hold up against any defending ships and the [[Starbase]] for long enough for you to safely escape without being hulled. However, do not take the risk of warping into a very powerful defense fleet alone; and only do so with support. | |||
