Freyja Carrier

"The Freyja Carrier is a previously unknown mercenary ship that uses advanced VEGA technology. It projects an ion field to boost damage against shields."

General
The Freyja Carrier is a Tier 5 hull with extra defensive capability in the form of armor slots and health bonuses.

As a carrier, this ship generates a Support Field that improves the combat effectiveness of other friendly ships, making it the centerpiece of a fleet.

Advantages
The Freyja Carrier's Ion Field increases damage dealt against enemy shields, making this ship well-suited for fleets designed for close combat, effectively boosting their DPS.

It can also use powerful squadrons that are locked to its tier, such as the Ranger Swarm, enabling it to pack a punch compared to lesser carriers.

The Freyja Carrier can equip extra armor to improve its survivability, allowing it to deal more damage before it is destroyed.

Disadvantages
Fleets supported by an Ion Field are less versatile compared to those with an Agility Field because they cannot chase nor kite enemies as effectively.

Against ships with massive health but minimal shielding (such as other Iron Star Company Hulls), the Ion Field actually decreases your fleet's effectiveness because it incurs a penalty to health damage.

Compared to the Dominion Carrier, the Freyja Carrier lacks maximum mass and damage output.
