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.
