Destroyer
End Product
Space forces which consist of medium Warships. Destroyers are larger and more aggressive. They are used to attack enemy units nearby and exert a more suppressive and destructive effect. It costs 4 Command Pts to command a Destroyer. This means a Space Fleet can only have a maximum of 3 Destroyers at a time.

Summary

Destroyers are large warships used for space combat against the Dark Fog. They are considerably stronger and more capable than Corvettes, but in exchange they take up 4 times as much space in a fleet; while one fleet can contain 12 Corvettes, it can only contain 3 Destroyers (or a combination of both).

Player Tips & Tricks

  • In space flight, press Z (default) to enter combat mode. Pressing 9 (default) rallies all fighters to attack the current target.
  • By placing spare Corvettes and Destroyers in the Hangar section of Icarus's Mecha Panel, they can replace any fighters destroyed mid-combat.
  • During space flights, deploying Corvettes and Destroyers will consume Icarus's energy, even if Icarus itself is not involved in combat. Prepare accordingly.
  • Although Destroyers are significantly more powerful than Corvettes, they are much more costly to produce, requiring both Frame Material and Strange Matter. Deploying hordes of expendable Corvettes is also still a good strategy even with access to Destroyers, as hordes of Corvettes will draw away fire from Icarus and each other. Using a combination of both allows each fighter to leverage its strengths: Corvettes can draw aggro and deal good damage, while Destroyers can strike dangerous targets from a safe distance and deal huge damage to put them out of commission quickly.
