[edit] Overview

• The Willow Class is a vessel for survey and anti espionage missions. It has the highest scan range of all RCS ships.
• The SDI Anti-Probe (counteract Probe Launchers) make it useful for counterespionage.
• The Long Range Mine Detector protects your main fleet from mine fields and detects enemy territory.
• This ship is not really a fighter. One Willow above or near your main worlds will protect your worlds from detection. Together with the A. Odin Class Carrier (with a Gravity Well Generator) you should have at least some protection from hyperjump surprise attacks: you see them come and can stop them some 50 lys away from your main worlds.

[edit] Special
