| info=The Zealot is built almost exclusively as a laser platform, designed to wreak as much havoc as its energy beams can be made to. As a vanguard vessel, its thick armor and dazzling destructive power make it capable of cutting through enemy fleets with striking ease.

Developer: Viziam | |||
For their first production-ready starship design, Viziam opted to focus on their core proficiencies - heavy armor and highly optimized weaponry. The result is an extremely focused design that, when used correctly, can go toe-to-toe with any contemporary cruiser design. | |||

The Zealot is known as a good all round HAC. Its optimal range bonus is easy to convert to a damage bonus due to the good optimal of lasers and instant crystal switching. The optimal bonus is usually put to use with pulse lasers loaded with T2 Scorch ammunition to have good damage at a very respectable optimal range, but also makes it suitable for fitting as a sniper. With 7 low slots it is designed to be armor tanked, and can still fit several damage modules there as well. | The Zealot is known as a good all round HAC.

The Zealot follows the HAC model of having somewhat lower DPS and tank than a battlecruiser, but making up for it with greater range and speed. This results in a ship that can outrun anything it can't outgun. | The Zealot follows the HAC model of having somewhat lower DPS and tank than a battlecruiser, but making up for it with greater range and speed.

* Heavy Assault Cruiser rebalance | |||
*# Reduce heavy HAC dominance in fleet combat which has persisted since their 2017 balance pass. | |||
*# Make room for other ship types to step into the spotlight, such as battleships. | |||
*# Not nerf HACs into oblivion - find and retain healthy use-cases. | |||
*# Maintain HAC identity as a high-damage / heavy tank ship option. | |||
