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.

Subclasses
Tech 2
Unofficial
Tackle Gunship, typically 500 Blocks. A technically outdated subclass from back when smaller vessels could disrupt the hyperdrives of target ships; this function is now tied to ships larger than 1000 blocks.
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.
