Usurper Carrier

"The Usurper Carrier is an imposing replica of the Altairians' cherished Sovereign Carrier. It follows the combat oriented design and adds the Resurgence System that helps sustain this powerhouse."

General
The Usurper Carrier is a reverse engineered Version of the Sovereign Carrier, designed by the Marauders.

Advantages
The Usurper Carrier, being based off the Sovereign, retains most of its strengths. Firstly, it boosts the amount of shield energy of shields equipped to it, and grants them the ability to recharge over time.

In addition, it can equip Void Cyclotron Beams, allowing it to decimate most enemy targets from afar as most hulls dont have void resistance with the exception of others such as the Phoenix Frigate and other Marauder Hulls.

It also has the added advantage of being able to equip the original Marauder compact generators, making it the first T7A carrier to be able to grant the agility, Ion or phased support fields.

Disadvantages
Without resistance to any other weapon types, the Usurper will go down quickly to anything that uses a damage type outside of void damage.

Like all carriers, it is slow, and has limited mobility, making it somewhat of a liability in combat even with the benefits it offers.
