The Argus, named for the all seeing giant of old, is a rare class of ship drafted to fulfill the role of a dedicated deep space reconnaissance vessel. Equipped to survive months without external support charting systems outside of the mysterious [[Jumphole|jumphole]] network, the Argus carries the armor, armament and fortitude to excel far beyond the redline of the known systems of [[Sirius]].
 
==Handling==
 
* This ship is too large to use docking bays, it must use mooring points.
 
{{Review|[[:User:AeternusDoleo|AeternusDoleo]]|The Argus is a large, heavy cruiser that, since it doesn't at present have a thruster slot, is not suited to the regular cruiser tasks. Largely considered to be a useless ship by most players, it does have a few situations where it becomes effective:
 
- Cruiser versus cruiser battles. This ship can chainfire light mortars, in bursts of five if it's core is fully charged. It also has a generous amount of standard turrets, most of which have good arcs.
 
- Long range missile assaults. Cruiser missiles have a higher range then battleship ones. You will be able to engage targets at a very high range. The Argus powercore allows you to use such a launcher repeatedly.
 
- Capital ships support. The two battleship turret slots can be filled with a dual battleship Cerberus setup. The Argus can continuously fire these, with any excess power to a light mortar launcher. It is recommended that you stay at range in this setup, and break off as soon as you're engaged by a battleship. You will not last long in a straight shootout.
 
 
 
This vessel is scheduled to get a thruster in 4.86, which will make it more useful in terms of maneuvering.}}
