Details[]
The Defender is the jack of all trades, master of none, and is the standard-bearer of the GSA air force. It has decent speed, good handling, and a moderate amount of armor. It's never the worst ship for the job, but it's also never the best. The Defender's primary weapon, the Pulse Array, is one of the better damage per second weapons, although it takes a little practice to get good with. The rest of it's weapons also aren't too bad. This is definitely the ship to use until you get the Nemesis, unless you prefer "all artillery and no speed types."(Then you can try Guardian.) It's the main ship of the series being playable in every single game.
History[]
The Defender is one of the most common ships in the GSA. In fact, the Defender is the primary ship in the fleet. Not a single squadron (except specialized squadrons) uses anything other than the Defender. There are bomber squadrons, but not many Interceptor/Gunship squadrons.
Pros:[]
- No real weakness
