I know what you’re thinking… you’re thinking “how can he go on after that Raid list?” Yet here it is anyway. Here is the calculated (see previous disclaimers yadda, yadda) best and worst Battle level ships!
The Best:
1- The Carrier – Drakh (28.8)
This is assuming that it is carrying all Heavy Raiders that are most of its punch.
2- The Nightfalcon – Drazi (21.8)
Almost half of the punch comes from the fighters it carries.
3- The Omega – Earthforce TA/CE (20.4)
Well defended this seems to be a solid ship, again it is assumed to be loaded with Thunderbolts for maximum ship attack.
4- The Tertius– Centauri (18.7)
The calculations like them some Centauri – here is our first non-carrier of the list. We saw some of the calculations tendencies to over-rate carriers on the Raid list too.
5- The Marathon – Earthforce (17.5)
A bit better defended then the Tertius, but not as much punch.
The Worst: (starting with the worst)
1- The Apollo – Earthforce (5.3)
Another missile boat, but I think you can easily argue that this one is under gunned for a Battle level choice.
2- The Bokados – Brakiri (5.7)
A carrier with bad fighters, this one may also belong in the dregs.
3- The Hyperion CC – Earthforce (5.8)
A bit under defended, but I may get some complaints on this one.
4- The Cruiser – Drakh (6.4)
It is interesting to see this one way down here with the carrier being up at the top. This is a testament to the attack rating of the Drakh Heavy Raider.
5- The Nova – Raider (8.1)
They may call it a Dreadnaught, but it is really a battle carrier with poor fighters.
For the record the Whitestar 2 comes in 9th with a 16.1. There is a cluster of ships in the low 16’s, so 9th becomes a little arbitrary (especially with the WS2’s high maneuverability).
