- | The super weapon of the Romulans is the Phoenix. It is a slow moving ship with weak shields and no ordinary weapons of any kind. The main weapon, the Rift Creator is the only means of causing damage. All units and stations within a medium range will suffer massive damage, usually destroying them. This makes it necessary to keep quite some distance between the Phoenix and an accompanying fleet. The Phoenix is the cheaper one of the two mass destruction units of the game, which costs only 2000 dilithium. | + | The super weapon of the Romulans is the Phoenix.

It already begins with the differentiation in two fractions with cloaks and without, the underlying mechanics of detector units and the discovery of opponent maneuvers. Then there is the deviation of factions with and without artillery ships. To make matters more interesting, | ||

+ | But also the differences of the ships of each faction can even lead to certain counter unit mechanics, e. g. the Souvereign class ship's Corbomite Reflector vs. the Akira class Chain Reaction Pulsar: Pulsar gets reflected multiple times at the attacking Akira unit, inflicting a lot more damage at the attacker than at the attacked. Similarly works the combination Souvereign vs. Negh' | ||
