The Retribution class Battleship is best employed in one of two ways. Firstly, one can make use of its superior long range firepower, out-ranging the weaponry on most enemy vessels. Alternatively, one can close quickly and unleash a devastating broadside at close range, an attack which can cripple an emery cruiser in a single salvo. However one must be wary of making sudden changes of course as the ship is slow to manoeuvre.
