Icarus

The Icarus is a combat-based Carrier.

Description
It is the second-largest carrier in the game, smaller than only the Nyx, making it the third-largest ship in the game. With its Turrets and 2 Nixesions, the Icarus is a very powerful combat-carrier: a type rarely seen in carriers as most heavily rely on their fighters. It has a very large amount of firepower and can fight against a variety of ships, ranging from small Frigates to large Battleships. It may even have a chance to defeat a Dreadnought, though this requires much skill.

Advantages

 * More firepower than the Revelation.
 * Higher overall maneuverability than the Nyx.
 * High firepower.
 * High-damage Fighters.
 * Powerful on its own, without the need of any fighters.

Disadvantages

 * Has a slow acceleration and turn speed.

Strategy

 * Don't go into battle alone as multiple ships can overwhelm it quickly and make sure to send a few or more Dreadnoughts as cover.
 * Know how to pilot this kind of ship and bring fighter pilots before entering combat.
 * Make sure to approach from below so your turrets can be used.

Trivia

 * Apparently looks a lot like a white version of a Revelation.
 * This ship is most likely based off of the Republic Venator attack cruiser from Star Wars.
 * Named after Icarus, a Greek mythical character.
 * This ship is often considered a dreadnought-carrier hybrid because it has more turrets than a battleship but also carries.
