Bombardier

undefined

General
The Bombardier is a Nautilus Artillery ship, designed to fire and deal damage from afar, supporting ships from the back of the deployment.

Advantages
The Bombardier can deal moderate damage to both ships and the Capital Ship, allowing it to strike first before the enemy can get the chance to attack your ships. It can also strike the Capital ship from afar, without entering its firing arc. By slowing down, you can basically turn the Bombardier into a stationary turret.

The wide and lengthy firing arc can allow you to keep multiple ships within your firing arc, so that the ship can attack the next one once its current target perishes.

Disadvantages
The Bombardier is lightly armored, and along with its dead zone, can perish pretty quickly if a fast moving ship can get close to it. It can also possibly be one shotted from Fleming's Active Power.

The Bombardier has a lengthy cooldown for its firing cycle, which can leave it exposed when its not firing at anything.
