'''Gunships''' are the 2nd class of [[Starship|Warships]] and most popular of the [[Subcapitals]] that players fly. They are the first Warship to gain access to the arc-defying [[Pulse Cannons]], fast tracking [[Light Turrets]], and the slowing [[Heavy Laser.]]
'''Frigates''' are the fourth class of [[Warships]], '''unlocked at level 40''', and the first to gain access to the powerful [[Particle Shield|0.8i Chetherite Particle Shield]], as well as [[Phaser|Phasers]] and [[Heavy Turrets]].
 
'''Gunships are unlocked at level 10.'''

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 A technically outdated subclass from back when such ships could disrupt the hyperdrives of target ships; Disruptors now only function on 1000+ block gunships.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

Tips

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.
