Gunships are the second class of Warships, unlocked at level 10, and are typically the most popular warship class in the game due to their versatility and accessibility. They have access to arc-defying Pulse Cannons as well as thruster-stunning Heavy Lasers.

Specifications

Subclasses

Tackle Gunship, typically 500 Blocks. A technically outdated subclass from back when such ships could disrupt the hyperdrives of target ships; Disruptors now only function on 1000+ block gunships.

Light Gunship, typically 1020-1399 blocks. Fast and agile, but very fragile and no longer small enough to avoid most enemy fire. Not very popular compared to its larger cousin.

Heavy gunship, typically 2000 blocks. Versatile and lethal; small and fast enough to avoid incoming damage, but tanky enough to forgive a mistake or two. Incredibly popular with both veteran and novice pilots.

Tackle Gunship

A glorified starfighter.

This warship class is designed to counter smaller ships, leveraging its wide arc pulse cannons, light turrets, and its tracking heavy lasers.

Gunships are typically vulnerable to Corvettes, but high-skilled pilots can often win such engagements anyways as long as they manage their distance; maneuverability is the lifeline of a gunship.
