Ravastra Skirmisher
| ||||||||||||||||||||||
Ravastra Skirmisher's combine speed with power to create a deadly close-range combat vessel. Heavily armored, the Ravastra can withstand a great deal of punishment for its size but is still nearly as nimble as the Jikara. Its ability to withstand punishment is further enhanced once it enters its Reintegration repair cycle, where both engines and weapon systems are shut down in order to quickly regenerate its hull. Given its high speed, survivability and relatively low resource cost, the Ravastra was also determined to be the most suited to striking deep into the enemy‘s fleet during combat in order to activate interference devices that restrict the use of antimatter.
Being the heaviest, most expensive and toughest of any of the light combat frigates, the Skirmisher is slightly less expendable than other light frigates. With 50% more armor and the ability to rapidly repair itself its also less likely to be destroyed as easily. All this comes at a steep trade off, support for support, resource for resource, other factions can field more ships, almost twice as many in the case of Advent. However they will be more likely to have to replace them frequently. The Skirmisher's anti-support ability doesn't directly prevent the use of abilities, rather it makes them about half as effective by doubling their antimatter cost and cool down. Fielding Skirmishers later in the game when support cruisers are more common requires less micromanagement due to their self-repairing and heavier armor.
