Dropfleet Commander/Tactics/Shaltari

Conflict is eternal. No less so am I.

Why Play Shaltari

Reliable damage output

Zippy jousters

Special Abilities

Energy Shields: At the start of a battlegroup's activation, they may choose to raise their shields to grant them a crit-proof save at the cost of a major boost to their Signature and reducing their Point Defense to 0.

Particle: These weapons automatically score Critical Hits, ignoring armor

Motherships/Voidgates:

Ships of the Line

• Light Tonnage:
  • Voidgate: Not actually a ship.
  • Glass-class Corvette:
  • Topaz-class Gun Frigate:
  • Amethyst-class Close Action Frigate:
  • Jade-class Lance Frigate:
  • Opal-class Shield Booster Frigate:

• Medium Tonnage:
  • Aquamarine-class Light Cruiser:
  • Azurite-class Light Cruiser:
  • Emerald-class Mothership: The chewy nougat at the center of every Shaltari fleet
  • Basalt-class Fleet Carrier:
  • Turquoise-class Cruiser: The smallest ship mounted with the Shaltari's unique bombardment/unblockable Beam CA Ion weaponry.
  • Granite-class Cruiser:
  • Amber-class Cruiser:

• Heavy Tonnage:
  • Jet-class Heavy Cruiser:
  • Obsidian-class Heavy Cruiser:
  • Onyx-class Heavy Cruiser:
  • Sapphire/Palladium-class Battlecruiser: The combination of Gravity Coils and Ion Aura arrays make this an odd ship. It can't put out damage like the Ruby/Adamant, but provides a mix of situational utility.
  • Ruby/Adamant-class Battlecruiser: Particle Cannon Pair + Disruptor Banks =

• Superheavy Tonnage:
  • Platinum-class Supercarrier:
  • Diamond-class Battleship: Has the distinction of carrying the single most devastating weapon in the game. Prior to the nerf that decoupled the Particle and Crippling rules, its Particle Triad could reliably delete a cruiser every turn with guaranteed cascading crits.
