About the Nose Gunner
The salient feature of the Nose Gunner is that it is critical to the Head and Shoulders and Core-Shooter formations. It has to have the survivability of a Tank and an ATK value greater or equal to a Core ship. The only ship types that come close are Humaroid-Flagships and those are often what is found in this role. For players that have not yet researched all three (Tiamat, Helena, and Hamdar) the Humaroid-Flagships are the only ones they have access to.
Requirements
A typical Nose Gunner design meets the following;
Recommended values Shields 5,000+ Struct Hull default (Humaroid-Flagships typically have 10,000+) MOV Fleet Battle speed (min) ATK Weapons modules of the highest available ATK value
Where Used
