How to fly it. Carriers win by numbers: keep the hull out of the thick of it, launch the wing early and let the extra fighters soak fire for your squads. Missile: homing shots that hit much harder against targets already low on hull.

| Passive | Three cores · fastest boost recharge |

| Passive | Belt armour · 10% damage reduction |
