Arbiter

In game description: "Light cruiser. It has a large margin of safety. In addition to the combat power, it has airborne plasma cannons and automatic fire barrier systems. Can be equipped with super heavy weapons."

The arbiter is a very well-balanced ship, having good speed, health, and damage. When upgraded, it can match battleships in health and its speed gives it an advantage against the slow monarch. It is one of the only ships that will be seen somewhat often in battle as a player rises past it, and even players with dreadnoughts know the power of this little cruiser.

For a higher level ship, the arbiter boosts a speed of 8 m/s, enabling it to outrun every other ship above it, (except for the aventador) and since it is smaller, maneuver easier and quicker. Since the cost for both the ship and upgrades is smaller,it can also be used for those short on funds. This is often used for suicide runs or supporting allies at higher levels.

When a player firsts gets an arbiter, however, it is by far the best ship to use until a player can get battleships, and can often blast through other ships with ease.

Can mount three turrets, three missiles, and all three specials.

Trivia
