The Zeal Battleship is a Tier 4 hull with more advanced VEGA Security technology.

As a battleship, this ship has bonus range and duplicate weapons for each firing arc, dealing massive damage from a safe distance.

Advantages
The Zeal Battleship has less unladen mass and greater maximum mass compared to the Dread Battleship, giving it more room for equipment. Overall, it is superior to the Dread Battleship.

Equip powerful VEGA Security Ship Weapons such as the Vector Torpedo and NET Torpedo. This standard combo enables you to kite cruisers with ease and farm most NPC Targets of Tier 5 or below. Arc Missiles are best used for battleship duels.

A high-DPS build involves Aurora Rays, which have decent range and take out squadrons in a single blast.

Disadvantages
Zeal Battleships, like most battleships, are commonly overrun by upgraded frigates and cutters.

Trivia

 * When it was first released, despite KIXEYE stating that the Zeal Battleship was faster than 290 m/s, the final speed was, in fact, 290 m/s, the same as a Dread Battleship.
 * It is the first battleship to feature a split-hull design with a central pylon connecting the two sections.
 * A bonus to DPS was added to battleship mark upgrades around the middle of 2018.
 * All player ships had their Resurgence values modified as a result of the late February 2020 update.
