Sporethrower
![][image_ship_8_thumb_1] The development of more sophisticated defense systems on Planets has called for the production of special ships to destroy them. The Sporethrower is highly efficient against these defense systems, as it is equipped with powerful plasma torpedoes. But there's a problem – the bigger body makes it an easy target. That is why in the design process size has been carefully considered. As a consequence the armor isn’t very thick and the ship's shields cover the surface only partially. Because of the lack of free space, a modified impulse engine is used, that unfortunately does not offer enough Speed for its large gas consumption.

Note that this type of ship directly attacks master units (DeathStar/Titan/Queen Nox; no random factor) and bypasses ships that possess the Shield skill (Guardians/Shieldbots/Absorbers) when doing so.
Purpose: Battleship, Splash damage, 50% bonus to damage against DeathStar/Titan/Queen Nox
