BattleShip

From TradeWars Documentation Wiki

The BattleShip is seldom used because it lacks a TransWarp Drive, making it prohibitively expensive in turns to deliver its firepower, which isn't particularly impressive to begin with. Its flavor text is a good example of the misleading information frequently seen in the game.

[edit] Flavor Text

The Corellian Battleship is a dangerous craft indeed! This ship packs the most punch of any ship in the Federation. Battleships can carry four times the fighters of a Merchant and deliver them with a much higher degree of effectiveness due to their superior combat computers. The shield generators on Battleships are capable of shielding the ship's fighters as well. This craft is one of the more prestigious and powerful ships available today.
