===Basic=== ====Cartouche==== [[File:Cartouche.jpg|300px|right|thumb|Cheap but affordable.]] The Cartouche-class Light Cruiser or the [[That Guy|'''Cardouche''']] is a Light Cruiser-class vessel of the Necrons. Bearing a strong resemblance to the Shroud-class, the primary difference between the two ships is that the Cartouche is equipped with both [[Particle Whip Launcher]]s and [[Lightning Arc]] arrays while the Shroud is equipped with solely the latter. This makes the Cartouche a relatively well-balanced and adaptable vessel. Due to this, the Cartouche is a slightly cheaper and weaker version of the Khopesh, the Cartouche is the cheapest line ship available to the Necrons from their limited pool of selections. Besides having one less turret and 2/3rds of the hit points of the stronger vessel, there isn't anything really special about this vessel compared to the other. One point of note, if you are unfamiliar with the way the Necron weapons work, the Lightning Arc Batteries have side angles of attack, like Imperial broadside weaponry, however, unlike the Imperials who can only fire the battery facing in that direction, both Lightning Arc batteries can fire in either direction, [[Derp|they just can't fire forward for some reason.]] This is fine anyways, better than being locked into a 90-degree front arc so the Cartouche, along with the other Light cruisers, can use broadside attack orders to stay on the move and help dodge macro shots. *'''Length:''' 4-5km; approx *'''Width:''' 7-8km; approx *'''Mass:''' 24.5 megatonnes; approx *'''Crew:''' 42,000 crew; approx *'''Acceleration:''' 2.6 gravities max sustainable acceleration ====Khopesh==== [[File:KhopeshBFGA2.jpg|300px|right|thumb|This is basically a ''Heavy'' Light Cruiser, if there was ever such a term.]] The more expensive and premium version of the Cartouche. Acting as a reserve force, fighting with the [[Scythe-class Harvest Ship]]s, they are more heavily armed than the Shroud-class Light Cruiser, and very effective when used in conjunction with the Shroud, taking more damage before allowing the Shrouds to get in closer. Khopesh class vessels wield 1 [[Particle Whip Launcher]] and 3 [[Lightning Arc]]s compared to the Cartouche's 2. As such, the Khopesh is the toughest Light Cruiser, taking 1,200 points of hull into the fight, giving it the most resilience in the long run when combined with its stronger armament than it's little cousin, the Cartouche. Like it's companion, the Side Arcs for the Lightning Batteries allow all 3 weapons to fire in either direction, so you can get your entire damage and crit output on a single target, as can the other Necron Light Cruisers. For the pleasure of having higher-end weaponry and extra hull, you'll be paying the most expensive cost for the Necron Light Cruisers, and a pretty expensive price when compared to other similarly sized ships from other factions. *'''Length:''' 4-5km; approx *'''Width:''' 7-8km; approx *'''Mass:''' 27.4 megatonnes; approx *'''Crew:''' 51,000 crew; approx *'''Acceleration:''' 2.5 gravities max sustainable acceleration
