== Description ==
== Description ==
The '''Zeus''' is designed to destroy the [[Shields]] of large [[Ships]] and [[Starbase]]s, it can prove a nightmare for other [[:Category:Battleship|Battleships]] and [[:Category:Dreadnought|Dreadnoughts]]. It is also a prominent tank, having a very strong [[Shields|Shield]], but has proved to be an inefficient PvP vessel, as it is unable to finish off most of its opponents due to the lack of [[Turrets|Kinetic armament]].

== Interior ==
== Appearance ==
Despite the size of this [[:Category:Dreadnought|Dreadnought]], the '''Zeus''''s interior is very small, (like the [[Apocalypse]].) The player boards via a hatch. This hatch leads to a ramp, which takes the player to another hatch, behind this hatch is the captain's chair and the bridge.
The interior is just a very cramped box with a carpet square for a seat.

*This is a good ship to use for [[Shields|Shield]] killing when camping at the [[Mega Base]] or when sieging because it can absorb a lot more damage than other [[Shields|Shield]] breakers.
*This is a good ship to use for [[Shields|Shield]] shredding while sieging or camping at the [[Mega Base]], since it can absorb a lot more damage than other [[Shields|Shield]] breakers.
*It's also a good siege support as its [[Turrets|Heavy Lasers]] would bring down the base [[Shields|Shield]] while 2 [[Turrets|Heavy Point Defense Lasers]] give it a good defense against incoming hostiles.

*When against the Zeus, approach the ship from the bottom at full speed so that the [[Turrets]] will have a hard time hitting you.

*Don't use this ship as a frontline tank as its [[Shields]] will quickly be drained by the [[Turrets|Heavy Lasers]] from the [[Starbase]].

*This ship can be pretty good at scaring off bigger ships. Removing their [[Shields]] at a fast rate can force them to warp away, fearing for a possible dive if hulled.

*Don't tank during sieges, [[Starbase]]s mainly have lasers.
*Be the first one to attack, if you arrive later targets might be hulled and you won't be very useful.
*Know which ships are shield tanks when deciding which to attack. Ships with mainly shield health will often stand no chance against you.
*Since it can't do much hull damage, the Zeus is better suited for defense, as it can scare off attackers by quickly removing their shields and leaving them vulnerable.
