'''Gunships''' are the second smallest possible warships, ranging between 500 to 2,000 blocks, and being unlocked at level 10.
Gunships are typically vulnerable to [[Corvette|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.
=== Specifications ===
* Must be a minimum of 500 blocks
* Can be a maximum of 2,000 blocks
* Can fire up to 2 [[Plasma Cannons]]
* Can fire up to 2 [[Pulse Cannons]]
* Can fire a single [[Point Defense Turrets|Point Defense Turret]]
* Can fire up to two [[Torpedoes]]
* Can fire a single [[Heavy Laser]]


This warship class is designed to counter the class below it, the [[Starfighter]], leveraging its 360° pulse cannons, rapid automatic light turrets, and its tracking heavy lasers to its advantage in the matchup.

Gunships are the second class of Warships, unlocked at level 10, and are a great asset given their versatility and accessibility. They have access to arc-defying Pulse Cannons as well as thruster-stunning 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.
