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]]. | 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]].

*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. | *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. | ||

*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. | *This ship can be pretty good at scaring off bigger ships.

*Don't tank during sieges, [[Starbase|Starbases]] 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. | |||
