The '''Archeon''' is a [[:Category:Battleship|Battleship]] that specializes in destroying the [[Hull]] of large, slow targets such as enemy Planets and [[Starbase|Starbases.]] It can be very slow and is unable to defend itself from small [[ships]], especially ones that can outmaneuver its [[Turrets|Railgun]] volleys. | The '''Archeon''' is a [[:Category:Battleship|Battleship]] that specializes in destroying the [[Hull]] of large, slow targets such as enemy Planets and [[Starbase|Starbases.]] It can be very slow and is unable to defend itself from small [[ships]], especially ones that can outmaneuver its [[Turrets|Railgun]] volleys. | ||

* A useful tip with the '''Archeon''' is to approach it at a 45-degree angle from below the base. This will allow you to usually fire upon the base, destroying most of its [[Hull]] quickly, without taking damage yourself. Caution is advised when using this tactic, as it does not always work. Again, it is best used if you have a fleet with you in the same location. | * A useful tip with the '''Archeon''' is to approach it at a 45-degree angle from below the base.

* The '''Archeon''' is a vulnerable ship and can easily be destroyed on its own, hence there should always be an escort. Only take it out during sieges and play smart. Don't let yourself become a target. | *The '''Archeon''' is a vulnerable ship and can easily be destroyed on its own, hence there should always be an escort.

* It is best used in fleets, as it is very vulnerable when alone, due to the poor accuracy of [[Turrets|Railguns]]. It should typically not be used to fight other [[ships]], as its [[Turrets|Railguns]] will have a hard time getting through [[Shields]], and their low accuracy makes PvP against small [[Ships]] nearly impossible. | *It is best used in fleets, as it is very vulnerable when alone, due to the poor accuracy of [[Turrets|Railguns]].
