== Appearance == | == Appearance == | ||
The '''Judgement''' is white, with neon blue near it's wings. The [[U.N.E]] logo can be seen on its sides, as well as the text "Judgement-class Dreadnought" on both sides of the mid-bow of the ship. The entrance teleporter leads to a tall room with several displays in front of the seat, with three of them being mounted on a desk; representing a personal computer. Behind the exit teleporter (which is a small, embedded yellow square) is a door (presumably of that which represents an elevator) that leads to a much larger room that houses the ship's reactor, which pulsates a light, neon blue color. The walls of the room have black stripes running all the way across as well as U.N.E insignias; and the floor has a lightly checkered appearance. | |||

*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.

As a general rule of thumb, start retreating when you have 1,000-3,000 Shield HP remaining (depending on the firepower you are being targetted with) to avoid being hulled. | ||

*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.

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.
