Exterminator Destroyer

"The Exterminator Destroyer is a hybrid of Alien and Human tech that maximizes damage against slow or immobile targets and bases."

General
The Exterminator Destroyer is a Tier 6 hull with the ability to resist Alien Damage.

As a destroyer, this ship has modest firepower but very long range, taking out opponents from afar.

Advantages
The Exterminator Destroyer marks a revolution for the destroyer class, with significantly higher forward and strafe speed. This enables the ship to effortlessly catch up to carriers, advance towards different parts of a huge base, and dodge projectiles at long range. As a result, it is extremely versatile in both fleet and base combat, inflicting heavy damage from a safe distance using the Xeno Shatter Driver.

This ship gains a damage bonus against modules when upgraded, further improving its effectiveness against enemy bases.

When two pieces of armor are equipped, the Exterminator Destroyer becomes quite durable and difficult to take down, even with multiple Storm Driver Turrets firing at it.

Disadvantages
The best counter to this ship is the Decimator Cutter, with its high speed and damage. A full fleet of this can close in from multiple directions and take them out before they could inflict serious harm.

Paladin Carriers with enough Harmonic Agility can also outrun Exterminator Destroyers, eventually wearing them down with squadrons provided that the destroyers are not adequately protected by a Suppressor.
