The Lizard Class Cruiser is the workhorse of the Lizard fleet.  It has a very large cargo hold and can cloak, making it ideal for dropping clans on enemy planets (remember the 30:1 Lizards [[ground combat]] ratio!).  However, the downside to this ship is its fuel consumption; it really is a gas guzzler, and it can be hard to refuel deep in enemy territory.  As such, always make it part of a convoy if you're invading someone, and a better choice for freighter robbing would be the [[Saurian Class Light Cruiser|Saurian]], which is lighter and consumes less fuel at the cost of 1 torpdeo tube.  You could use the [[Reptile Class Destroyed|Reptile]] too, but it's small fuel tank and tendency to get captured makes the [[Saurian Class Light Cruiser|Saurian]] ideal.


As far as all-around warships go, this ship is OK, and at tech 4 it's a strong ship to build early in the game.  However, later on it won't stand up to most enemy ships, and it would be better to build [[T-Rex Class Battleship|T-Rexes]] as war ships.

===Combat Performance===
When it comes to 1:1 fighting, the Lizard Class Cruiser is ranged around the top third of the overall shiplist, beating 73 enemy ship types and being beaten by only 26, of which nearly all can be considered as pure battleships. With this it is capable of taking out most of the enemy key ships, if both are equipped with Mark 7 torpedos.


=Combat in Lizard hands=
In many cases it has to return to a starbase to be repaired, or needs to take a great portion of supplies to perform a self-repair for several turns. Very surprising is the performance versus the Virgo Class Battlestar and the Super Star Destroyer.

Comments

The Lizard Class Cruiser is the workhorse of the Lizard fleet. It has a very large cargo hold and can cloak, making it ideal for dropping clans on enemy planets (remember the 30:1 Lizards ground combat ratio!). However, the downside to this ship is its fuel consumption; it really is a gas guzzler, and it can be hard to refuel deep in enemy territory. As such, always make it part of a convoy if you're invading someone, and a better choice for freighter robbing would be the Saurian, which is lighter and consumes less fuel at the cost of 1 torpdeo tube. You could use the Reptile too, but it's small fuel tank and tendency to get captured makes the Saurian ideal.

As far as all-around warships go, this ship is OK, and at tech 4 it's a strong ship to build early in the game. However, later on it won't stand up to most enemy ships, and it would be better to build T-Rexes as war ships.
