caneveral is cool, but not in fighting, it's good at defending

fo real?

i took a mass of intrepids and defiants everytime...

of course intrepids and defiands are better than the caneveral, but i'm just saying that caneveral sucks at attacking! It's a little better in the next version though.

Whats odd with me is that if I mass produce Canaverals as well as other ships, and put them on the front lines, after I win and I go to all the players stats, it says the canaveral was the best ship I used.

i think thats caused by the ai likes attacking other ships more than the canaveral class, so it leaves them untouched and your canavaral class get a high rating (low losses, many firings). so far my theory :fox:

That and it has a rather fast firing Phaser I guess.

caneveral does no significant damage, but in mass it's great

Yeah, nice little support ship.

Strength in numbers I guess

yep, and so are all other ships in the late gamestage, no ONE ship can do any significant damage on its own, except porhaps a fusion cube

I was getting the super-canaveral stats at the end of my games even if I only built 5 or so of them.

look i usually have sabers as best ships, becuse i build them in early game stage and only defend with them. If you build 5sabers(or caneverals) and kill 6 enemies, it's gonna be better than 16 sovereigns killing 20 ships with 5 ships lost or whataver, it's all about kill and loose ratio, if you have many ships and destroy an enemy base, it's worse that destroying a handfull of ships with a small amount of them.

but I usually have around 30 Soverns to my 10 or so canaverals plus pretty much large numbers of all the other ships.
