The massive, Behemoth-Class Battlecruisers are virtual flying fortresses, built to keep the peace within the Terran Sector. Outfitted with multiple laster batteries and thick NeoSteel armor, these ships are easily the most powerful of the Colonial vessels. Many Colonial generals use Battlecruisers as their command centers during long space campaigns.
Yamato Cannon
- Recent research has also led to the development of the devastating Yamato Cannon, a terrifying weapon that uses an intense magnetic field to focus a small nuclear explosion into a cohesive beam of energy. The Cannon requires a huge energy reserve to fire, but its effects are impressive, to say the least. Terran engineers are currently working overtime to retrofit existing Battlecrisers with Yamato devices, but many older ships are still in service.
EVula's Notes:
Battlecruisers kick ass. What else can be said? They are one of the most powerful units in the game, and the Yamato Cannon can take out a Missile Turret or Spore Colony with one shot. However, they are painfully slow, incredibly expensive, and take a long time to make. A fleet of 12 or so Scourge can take out a BC with ease, so be cautious when using them. If you have to have Battlecruisers, use in groups, so that they can quickly eliminate any threats.
