The destroyer is a
capital ship heavily geared towards offensive capabilities.
Offense
Destroyers offer by far the most
direct firepower, in relative terms. They are almost as cost effective for disposing hostile
capital ships as the
bomber, with a far greater operational radius.
Defense
While destroyers are well protected in terms of shields and armor, they have very little
point defense capabilities, making them extremely vulnerable to small vessels.
