Bloodfang

Comments

An upgraded version of the Bloodfang carrier, with an extra fighter bay and stealth armor (see below for info). The carrier is still relatively weak due to its low combat mass, and can't take on heavy ships by itself. It can be used against medium ships fairly effectively, though.

With its stealth armor, it can stay invisible up to 10 ly if it is towed (which sets its warp speed to 0). It could be useful as a stealth minesweeper in this role.

The Bloodfang might be usable in a similar role as the Kittyhawk as a finisher after damaging an opponent's ship. Fed players might find it useful with fed crew bonus, which gives it an extra 3 bays. Otherwise this ship has limited usefulness.
