[edit] Overview

The phrase "glass cannon" could not be appied more accurately than when used in reference to the Prometheus. Sporting 12 50kt large weapons and 30 small weapons and coming with a 45 point attack bonus the Prometheus may look, at first glance, to be a nice battleship. However, with only 200 armor and 210 shields (gah!) and 3 point defense slots this baby is sure to get obliterated as soon as the enemy fires back. Nevertheless, the Prometheus has a place but the front line of the battlefield is probably not its best use. With transwarp engines it is capable of going 190LY a turn (fastest ship in the fleet excepting the light speed) and can act as a swift raiding ship or a support ship to a larger fleet.

Think long and hard before spending a lot of money on this ship. Chances are good that it will be destroyed at the first encounter where there is even a small bit of resistance. It is however the fastest ship in your fleet (excepting the Virgo light speed device), and can make a (relatively) cheap raiding ship for destroying small enemy bases.

great to use in delay/standoff mode with PTT's when used as part of a fleet or swarming tactic. combine a few of these with lots of taurus's for best effect.
