Cruiser
A cruiser is a strong, relatively fast warship, but with less power and shielding than a battleship. Useful in combat against heavier enemy ships such as other cruisers, destroyers, assassins and even battleships. They are often used against armored shield generators (found around cosmpiercers) and defense platforms (often found around pirate manufacturing operations), though the lower capacitor rate means they may struggle more against these than a battleship would.
