*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, shield-based health, and lack of defense against small ships. | *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, shield-based health, and lack of defense against small ships. | ||

*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 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.

*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). '''Do not''' attempt to use this strategy against multiple ships, as you cannot repeat the action of warping quick enough to keep other attacking ships out of range; which results in losing much more health than usual. | *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 its 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. | *If you see a crippled capital ship attempting to retreat to its base, chase it down and destroy it with your heavy-hitting turret armament.

*Never brute force targets, always micro-warp under them repeatedly to get out of their line of sight and unleash your high alpha. | |||
