Archeon

The Archeon is a battleship class ship designed specifically for sieging starbases.

Strengths

 * Best battleship for sieges when accounting turret firepower.
 * It's 6 railguns and dual large cannons will destroy hull.
 * Decent health for a ship of its class.
 * Performs very well in fleets.

Weaknesses

 * Vulnerable when alone, it is unable to defend itself from most ships.
 * Cannot perform well in ship to ship combat.
 * Railguns will almost always miss on anything smaller than a battleship.
 * Rather slow for a ship of its class.

Strategy

 * A useful tip with the Archeon is to approach it at a 45 degree angle from below the base. This will allow you to usually fire upon the base, destroying most of its hull quickly, without taking damage yourself. Caution is advised when using this tactic, as it does not always work. Again, it is best used if you have a fleet with you in the same location.
 * The Archeon is an vulnerable ship and can easily be destroyed on its own, hence there should always be an escort.
 * It is best used in fleets, as it is very vulnerable when alone, due to the poor accuracy of railguns. It should typically not be used to fight other ships, as its railguns will have a hard time getting through shields, and on smaller ships, just hitting will be a problem.
