Deep Space Transports: Difference between revisions

Line 8:

Where blockade runners are meant to rely on speed and stealth to slip by the enemy, deep space transports are designed to bust their way through the enemy, relying on their warp strength and tanking abilities to escape. This probably won't work against a determined and well-prepared [[gatecamp]], and using a deep space transport indicates to all and sundry that you have cargo you want to protect, so you should think carefully before deploying one.

Each empire has one DST:

Each empire along with Upwell has one DST:

* {{Sh|Impel}}

* {{Sh|Bustard}}

* {{Sh|Occator}}

* {{Sh|Mastodon}}

* {{Sh|Torrent}}

Line 35:

The {{sh|Impel}} has the most low slots. This allows it to fit a good armor tank. Those also allow it easily go for slippery fits. This ability isn't as strong as it used to be though as you used to be able to fit multiple warp core stabs (see history section).

The {{Sh|Torrent}} has a specialized cargo hold that allows it to carry a base of 60,000 m3 worth of Infrastructure (IE: Structures,PI Command Centers, and Fuel Blocks just to name a few). This combined with the base 30,000 m3 of Fleet Hanger gives it the highest base cargo capacity of the DSTs, though some of it is locked to certain types of items.

To summarize and repeat: Depending which way you want to fit your DST, one or the other might be best. But all are able to pull off the typical approaches. Thus you might mostly decide depending on your surroundings so that you may utilize them together with your friends.
