Sakala

The Sakala is an exclusive carrier for those who contribute to or purchase from the Galaxy store. It has four Destroyer class ships as fighters. (Promotional event is no longer occurring)

Description
The Sakala is a mid-sized Carrier. It has a large bridge section and two hangar wings on either side, connected by transparent pathways. The carrier contains four Sanguine Fighters, two on each wing, that drop down from the hangars. The bridge has three seats and extensive detailing, including way too many cat pictures.

Advantages

 * Extremely powerful Fighters with good health.
 * No blind spots.
 * Maneuverable for its size.
 * it's fast for a Carrier.
 * Good armaments for a ship of its size and health.

Disadvantages

 * Low Turret firepower
 * Can't defend well against small ships without its Fighters.
 * It won't catch up to anything like a Battlecruiser with its speed
 * No Spinals.
 * Once lost, can never be re-obtained.
 * A target for Pirates.
 * Not a lot of health for a Carrier

Strategy

 * Be certain to have teammates willing to pilot the Fighters.
 * Use sparingly. This is a huge target for Pirates.
 * Avoid Dreadnoughts and Prototype ships, especially the faster Prototype X-2.
 * Don't use this as your everyday Carrier. It is a limited ship. Treat it as such to avoid losing it.
 * The low health but high damage with Fighters can work wonders to kill Miners and Freighters who have drifted too far from a Starbase.
