[edit] Overview

As Lizard you'll probably build many of these early on (perhaps without weapons to save cash) just to use the Psi-Opps Hisser Unit device. The ship also has enough cargo capacity (200) to make it somewhat useful in th early stages of the game.

Combat-wise, it can be quite effective. It only carries 2 large weapon mounts, but the heavy armor gives it plenty of staying power. The weapon mounts are large enough to hold Blaster Cannons; since the Lizards get a 50x large weapon bonus vs. ground bases, a Serpent equipped with these can lay waste to enemy ground bases quickly (although you're better off trying to capture some prisoners).
