The Eros Class Research Vessel is the lightest armed ship in the Lizard fleet and due to it's low mineral costs often the most built ship to perform the Hisss-Mission. It is not made for fighting, but with nearly no fuel consumption for itself quite a good ship to tow larger ships that have bad engines installed.

Comments

The Eros Class Research Vessel is a dual-engine terraforming craft. This ship is capable of cooling hot planets whose temperature exceeds 50, supporting otherwise inhospitable desert planets. Also makes a cheap support ship.

Notes

  • With Transwarp Drives and Blasters, the Eros Researcher can total 1400ly (about 0.07 kT/ly) of non-stop movement with a full tank but no cargo, and 1000ly (about 0.11 kT/ly) when completely full
  • The Eros is an excellent "filler" ship to build at starbases for the Lizards. They can be used for HISSing, cooling planets, for money transport, and even towing, as needed. If you can afford it, put good engines on it, but if you can't afford it, well, put warp 1 engines on it and overclock as needed. The Eros can have a warp 1 engine going at warp 9 and still make one 81ly hop, albeit at a ruinous fuel efficiency. Sometimes it makes sense! Transwarp Eroses are a backbone utility ship for moving light but vital stuff around, like money.
