Apocalypse Mothership



The Apocalypse is a Mothership-class Dreadnought, one of the handfuls of starting units that you can choose to use initially when playing with the Cerberus Empire. The hull is sturdy and it has pretty average speed for a mothership, you'll still be able to make it around the map as usual.

At Level 1 it wields two powerful Mutilator Ray Cannons, each with 80 direct DPS and 80 AoE, and a Cystlex Guided Launcher that can rip groups of units apart and deal high direct damage as well. Paired with its good mobility and its defenses, it makes it a fairly well rounded ship for offense and defense, and extremely hard to approach early-game. Later levels give it more focus on assault or the ability to fend off hordes of units with ease. Like most motherships, you cannot rebuild one once destroyed

Advantages

 * Solid mobility for a dreadnought
 * Extremely good at early game armaments
 * High DPS no matter what range
 * Decent early upkeep
 * Doesn't necessarily need escorted by a fleet

Disadvantages

 * Minimum range for Cystlex can be fatal
 * While Mutilators have high fire rate, they can't keep up against stronger targets
 * Spread out damage and ranges means bulky kiting ships or artillery can take it alone
