Zeus

The Zeus is an anti-shield based dreadnought class ship.

Description
Designed to destroy the shields of large ships and starbases, it can prove a nightmare for other battleships and dreadnoughts. It is also a prominent tank, having the second highest shield of any ship in the game. Because of this, it can prove very useful in a siege, however, it is recommended to do this with caution, as it will need to get close for its medium lasers to be within firing range.

Interior
Despite the size of this dreadnaught, the Zeus's interior is very small, like the Apocalypse! Zeus's interior contains a staircase. if you go down you'll find a table with seats. if you go up you'll reach the control room carries more seats and controller's seat.

Strengths

 * Large laser arsenal allows for the easy destruction of enemy shields.
 * With the second highest shield of any ship, it is a great damage tank.
 * Has two defense turrets under the ship, a medium laser and a light flak, removing the underbelly blind spot most large ships possess.
 * Has good speed for a ship of its size.

Weaknesses

 * Due to its lack of kinetic weaponry, it can have a very hard time getting through the enemy hull.
 * Lacks a Spinal mount weapon.
 * Very slow.

Strategy

 * This is a good ship to use for shield killing when camping at the Mega Base or when sieging because it can absorb a lot more damage than other shield killers.
 * It's also a good sieger as 3 heavy lasers would bring down the base shield while 5 med lasers and a flak give it a good defense against incoming hostiles.
 * Approach this ship from the bottom at full speed so that the turrets will have a hard time hitting you.
 * If you are a ship that is easily killed by Starbase lasers, approach this ship slowly from the back and possibly below if you are an Archeon or warlock.
 * You should also be ready to tank if the Zeus somehow gets on hull.

Trivia

 * The Turret placements were updated on 10/19/2016.
 * It has the second highest shield in the game currently.
 * Named after the Greek god of thunder and lightning, the namesake is fitting considering it's entirely energy-based arsenal.
