They are the best ship to use to fight against Small Cargos and this could be something to consider because Small Cargos are sometimes used as fodder in place of Light Fighters because nothing has Rapid Fire against them aside from Battlecruisers and Heavy Fighters themselves. They are also very fast, faster than it's 'rival', the Light Fighter. The Heavy Fighter however, aside from the obvious Deathstar, doesn't appear to have a 'natural' enemy that can profit from it, which sometimes can be a pain to deal with.

However, the Heavy Fighter has a slightly higher deuterium consumption/price ratio and is just not as good as the Light Fighter against the majority of ships aside from Cruisers.

The same reason used for the Light Fighter can pretty much apply to the Heavy Fighter. GOOD against: Cruiser, Bomber, Destroyer, Reaper One of it's shortcomings that is often overlooked is that they are one of the slowest fighting ships in the game. Their use can also be extented on expeditions, where so far, it's the most profitable ship to use when it comes to fighting Aliens and Pirates. This however can be countered by changing the firing order of ships so that the heavy ships can damage the Deathstar's or Dome's shields and this will allow the Light Fighter to damage their hulls, and in this scenario, they are particularly deadly due to their large numbers.Īgainst defensive structures, they should be avoided if huge number of Heavy Lasers and Ion Cannons are present since in the Heavy Laser's case, it can take them out pretty easily with a single shot, and in the Ion Cannon's case, it takes too many to get past it's shields and the Ion while not as good as the Heavy Laser, does still have the potential to destroy a Light Fighter in one-shot. They are also bad against Deathstars and the Large Shield Dome because they cannot damage either in any way. Cruisers are their worst enemy because of that very fact. It's a ship that is mostly used as fodder to protect the bigger and more expensive ships from shots of the enemy big ships, but even on their own, they are a nightmare against any type of ship that doesn't have Rapid Fire against it. GOOD against: Gauss Cannon, Plasma TurretīAD against: Heavy Laser, Ion Cannon, Large Shield Dome GOOD against: Battleship, Battlecruiser, Bomber, Destroyer So, without further ado, let's get straight to it: I will just do a quick summary on how each ship is or can be used. I won't put here all the details most people already know about like their price and stats. It's been a while since I thought about making a tutorial-esque type of thread involving ships (and also defences which I will do in another thread).
