[edit] Overview

• The XL-5 has no engines. However it can be moved by towing (for example by an Incident).
• The lack of engines is also raises energy problems.
• Use the dry dock of the Hive Class Carrier to quick build XL-5s whereever you want. Just make sure you have the needed MC and Minerals.
• Probably useful in swarms?

Weapons are primary cost. Cheap weapons allow many more of these to be built. Fusion Cannons (and Force Beams) are extremely accurate and avoid PD except unless target has high Evasion.
