Battle Ship

From OGame Wiki

Battle Ships are the backbone of any military fleet. Heavy armor, powerful weapon systems, and a high cruising speed, in addition to a large cargo bay, combine to make this ship a tough opponent to fight against.

Battle Ships are undeniably the most commonly used ship in the game, due to their high speed and power.

Uses and Advantages

One of the most Cost-to-Status efficient ship in the game, Battle Ships are able to do the jobs of most other ships. Resource plundering, defense crushing, Death Star destroying -- in sufficient numbers, Battle Ships can do them all.

It is also important to note that Battle Ships can withstand hits from Gauss Cannons, making them even more desirable when breaking through enemy defenses.

They're used as crushed fleet on moonchances as an alternate to light fighters.

150 Battle Ships can destroy a Death Star with a 100% success rate, and still profit from the kill.

Shortcomings

While Battle Ships can do the jobs of most other ships, they do not perform well in special circumstances. If you are breaking through Defenses with thousands of Rocket Launchers and Light Lasers, use Bombers. If facing a foe with some Plasma Turrets, Destroyers or mass of Light Fighters are good options. If you are assaulting a mass of Light Fighters then Cruisers are your best bet. Therefore, while the Battle Ship is a great ship to have, it is not the best ship to use in extreme circumstances. Without the support of other ships, a pure Battle Ship fleet faces the danger of suffering significant losses in certain situations. The new addition of the Battlecruiser makes Battleship-only fleets less effective, as these new ships can destroy Battleships on a 2:1 ratio.
