Cruisers

The first class that was designed with the idea of improving on a certain advantage, while degrading other aspects such as speed. These ships are able to stand against heavier foes surprisingly well, and indeed they pose as the largest and most powerful space combatant for many organizations. Their size ranges from 430 up to 650 meters. They are the most versatile multi-purpose space faring vessels, capable to serve in almost every strategic and tactical role, as well as armored merchant vessels and pirate operational centers if the necessary modifications are made. However, they are not as fast as other ships, so be aware of that fact. Cruisers are the first class that was significantly changed from the SPG 2 Cruisers.

Additional Information
The biggest change from the SPG 2 Cruisers is the decreased maneuverability. They are way larger, but are not meant to be agile. For that reason, they were equipped with the special hull plating that can sustain a significant firepower. They also got the increased hangar slots, meaning that the Fighter Wings have to be their primary weapon. Be smart about the type of your Fighters, as they are also organized in a few groups. Even though they are not as fast as other ships, they have a good coverage with multiple turrets. Use that to your advantage, but keep an eye on the bigger enemies.
