Hello, everyone. I'm making this post to help people understand the best uses for each ship. I am going to cover the A class ships in this post. I see lots of people asking what ship is "best", but there really is more to it than that. All of these ships can be useful if they are used for their specific purpose. If you watch how the Varians attack, you will see even their Unicorns are in certain places like defending a Tooler or a tank. I hope this helps with your decision on what ship to build next or what to do with that older ship you really don't fly much anymore.
Unicorn - Best used as a defender to keep tanks and Tooler from getting killed. The EMP it has will give the bigger and slower ships time to get away from Varian fighters. It is basically functions as a decoy or distraction. When fully loaded to at least 3 stars, it packs a big punch for a little ship.
Bloodstorm - A tough little ship and the best defender you can get in the A class. It basically serves the same purpose as the Unicorn, and it uses the same weapons but holds heavier nukes and the swarm option. It is best loaded with a shield generator, your pick of boosters, a gun bot and silver ammo.
Falcon/Falcon M2 - The fighters or attack ships of the A class. If you are trying to defend a tank or Tooler with these ships, you will be moving too fast and your shields will fail before the bigger tanks, defenders, and Toolers. This ship is used for running down the enemy ships and keeping them away from your Toolers, tanks, and defenders. It is best loaded with damage and shield boosters, either 2 gun bots or a gun and a mechanibot, and two generators. Also the use of the deadly rocket strike makes this the first ship through the gate in a fight to take an outpost.
Tooler/Pegasus- Not really meant for anything other than healing, the weapons they do carry are there to let you get away in an emergency. Let the defenders kill the attackers. You must survive or everyone dies. Your Tooler is at its best when loaded with 1 of each generator, a shield booster, and either a botyguard and a mechanibot or 2 mechanibots. Gun bots are good as well in case your defenders fall and you do have to fight as a last resort. You should always have lots and lots of repairkits, especially when you are the only Tooler. The use of repair nukes are great if you end up caught in a fire fight. You can give your guys a boost. Same goes for the EMP nukes. I prefer the EMP nukes because it lets you get out of the line of fire and you always have your repair beam to help the fighters. The EMP blaster is only worth using if fully upgraded. If you are using this, make sure your fight group knows that you are now a defender and cannot heal anyone.
Crusader/Crucifier - These tanks are very slow and rely on Toolers and defenders. If you let a group of fighters take on a lone tank, he will be dead in seconds. If jumped in a sector in the second wave, you can crush the outpost before the enemy fighters have a chance to get near you. You should always have shield and damage boosters. Two gun bots are highly recommended. You can also use a mechanibot. The two nuke options on the A class tank are the smaller mini and the little devil. If you have the Crucifier, you can use the fat devil in trade for the minis.
Spider - If you are lucky enough to have a Spider, you have the best A class defender on the game. This little ship is an upgraded Bloodstorm that you can only buy with solar. The ship should be loaded and flown like a Bloodstorm, but you are allowed one extra bot and one extra booster.
Hope you find this useful. Feel free to add your comments about the different types of A class ships below!
