Penal Flotilla

Role: Capping - Scouting - Backline | Difficulty: HARD

Penal Flotilla is designed for nothing less than complete battlespace dominance of scouting and capturing objectives. Three 'police' destroyers operate independently, patrolling along all edges of the map to provide situational awareness and destroy enemy scouts, with two of them carrying the Pinard module for long range ELINT tracks. They can also be used to defend and capture objectives if needed, but the faster and more expendable remaining corvettes are more suitable for that task, especially the unfortunately named cheap corvette Penal Battalion.

The destroyer Drill Sergeant backs these light assets up - a size-2 cruise missile silo ideal for crushing targets of opportunity with large salvos, ideally plotted to approach the enemy from behind to take advantage of WAKE validation of these missiles' seeker. While defenseless, the Drill Sergeant can reposition quickly to dodge enemy counterstrikes.

This flotilla rewards a commander with strong multi-tasking skills who can keep an eye on the bigger picture.

Based on Tantalum Squadron (OSP starter fleet).
