Basic Ship Tactics

Basic Tactics

Each faction has its strengths and weaknesses. The goal of this page is to give a brief description of how to use each ship and how to survive in Battle.

ICC

ICC is primarily a ranged faction that has more maneuverable ships versus the other factions. Another Advantage ICC has is their Advanced shield technology. This allows them to cycle shield energy to deflect incoming fire.
