==Advantages==
*Smaller than some other [[:Category:Carrier|Carriers]], about the size of the average [[:Category:Dreadnought|Dreadnought]]; if not a little smaller, but with decent speed, making it more difficult to hit.
*Smaller than some other [[:Category:Carrier|Carriers]], about the size of the average [[:Category:Dreadnought|Dreadnought]]; if not a little smaller, but has the benefit of being the fastest and most agile Carrier in the game, even being faster than most [[:Category:Battleship|Battleships]] and can be very annoying to chase and/or maintain constant positional advantage for larger ships.
*Powerful [[Spinals]].
*Versatile [[Turrets]] and powerful [[Spinals]].
*Durable [[:Category:Fighters|Fighters]].
*Durable [[:Category:Fighters|Fighters]].
*Very fast Turn Speed for a carrier, as maneuverable as many of the more agile [[:Category:Battleship|Battleships]] in the game.
*Fastest [[:Category:Carrier|Carrier]] in the game, being faster than some [[:Category:Battlecruiser|Battlecruisers]], and faster than over half of the build menu [[:Category:Battleship|Battleships]] in the game.
*Relatively cheap to equip all fighters with AI pilots, only costing 500 robux since anyone who buys this will have VIP which gives you a free AI fighter.

*Bad health for a Carrier.
*Lowest health of all Carriers, but still significantly better than several of the available Dreadnoughts.
*Underwhelming damage output, even with all Fighters.
*While cheap, it has a very high warehouse level requirement to build.
*Very expensive compared to many cheaper, more effective Carriers.
==Strategy==
==Strategy==
*A very powerful ship for killing [[:Category:Miner|Miners]] or [[:Category:Freighter|Freighters]] with since you can deploy the Y.Falcons to distract the [[Starbase]] and destroy other [[ships]] while the base is distracted.
