Comments

The Loki Class Destroyer is a fairly high-tec light ship with the ability to decloak most cloaking ships within the range of 10 lightyears. It usually does not fight for itself, but with 80kt of cargo space it is a reasonable minelayer.

Privateer, Fascist, and other players who also control cloakers often fear this ship. Usually they will try to destroy it in a kamikaze mission using cloaked intercept.

A way to avoid this is to let more than just one Loki Class accompany the fleet, and randomly refuel or tow them, so that they will not be attacked if a cloaked intercept occurs.

Built by

The Lizard Alliance and The Solar Federation
