Review Most powerful Battle Cruiser around in Sirius, as many players knows off. It has 10 Cruiser turret, while having 2 Battleships Turrets slots as well. The LABC has no thruster engines, therefore, being unable to move around quickly, bombers will feast on this beast. However, when Fighting a Scylla or a Rheinland Cruiser - this ship will outrun them with ease with the hands of a skilled Captain/Pilot. Charging in against Caps is quite a good tactic against it's class and lower classes. Fighting Battleships is bit rash - so is best to stay away atleast few kilometers from your target and chain fire Light Mortars. When fighting bombers or fighters, it is best to move forward and firing backwards and strafing - it might be your best chance to get few good shots! Did I mentioned that it can chain fire Light Mortars? I guess so. I'll be recording more tips about this outstanding ship - stay tuned!

Review Meant to bridge the gap between cruisers and battleships, the Liberty Assault Battlecruiser happens to do just that, but not exactly in a good way. Its armor is on the lower end of the Battlecruiser class, with the second to last armor rating versus the other Battlecruisers. While still having more armor then any cruiser, it lacks a thruster, and the much needed agility to defeat its heavier, and lighter, opponents. It does have quite a bit of firepower however, with the power core to support it. In terms of size, the LABC sits in the middle, being smaller then the Geb, but bigger then the Bullhead, and slightly bigger then the Argus. In combat, you'll find this is best suited to hunting heavy cruisers and heavy battleships. With cruisers, your best bet is to rush the enemy with prims and light mortars, and hope they don't thrust away. If they do, make sure to get close to them, or else they can simply sit at range and whittle you down to nothing. Either that or see if you can missile of their thrusters, which makes them rather easy prey. Against battleships, you have to be careful with this. Staying at range and lobbing pulses/light mortars/missiles is the safest thing to do. If the battleship starts to look towards you, turn around and slam forward. If its close enough to land hits often, slam cruise and get away to at least 3 Kilometers at the least. After staying at range for a while, most battleships will get tired and look for a new target. Don't try and solo a battleship in this, unless you really know what you are doing. Against snubs, you'll find that this ship is helpless. Even with Solaris, it is still easily killed by two bombers. Your best bet is to avoid bombers all together. If you have to, go forward and switch to turret view, and lay down pressure with primaries, or Solaris if you have them. When Snacs are being shot, dodge with strafing maneuvers or by jamming reverse and turning. Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Review by Total Absolution
