[edit] Overview

The best multi-purpose ship in the Lizard fleet. First off, don't be fooled by the presense of a Cloaking Device on this ship! It cannot completely cloak, because its warp signiture is too high. But even excluding that factor, you'll still want to build plenty of these ships for their other strengths.

In combat, the Saurian is very efficient. It has a good attack bonus (50) and can mount 4 large weapons (about standard for its size). Plenty of armor keeps the ship alive in combat much longer than others in its class.

The Saurian truly shines if you have some Transwarp Drives to tack on it; zipping around at 190 lightyears/turn through enemy space, it can quickly provide firepower to a critical location.
The Saurian is also excellent for hauling cargo and mining minerals. It can pull minerals directly from space using its Particle Fountain, and it has the pod bays and large carrying capacity that you would expect in a cruiser its size.
