“	I will find the plans for the Corinthian Cruiser and deliver them to you. A worthy prize, I hope? The Iron Star Company fights for you.	”
	— H.M Keres VII

The Corinthian Cruiser is a Tier 4 hull with more advanced VEGA Security technology.

As a cruiser, this ship has great defensive capability and is designed to soak up damage.

Strategy and Setup

Advantages

“	The Corinthian Cruiser is a balanced front line hull, providing ample firepower and a wall of armor for attacking fleets and bases alike.	”
	— Sybil

Corinthian Cruisers are considerably stronger than Apocrypha Cruisers due to their higher mass capacity.

They should be equipped with Gatling Rays or SICO Missiles for fleet combat. When armed with Creeper Torpedoes, this ship makes a decent base rush fleet and doubles as a sniper decoy.

Disadvantages

Corinthian Cruisers cannot escape the fate of being kited by battleships and are swiftly destroyed by upgraded destroyers, as a cruiser.

Trivia

• The Corinthian Cruiser was the last of the four original VEGA Security Hulls to be released in an event. It was met with great anticipation as many players waited quite a lengthy amount of time to see its release.
• A bonus to weapon speed was added to cruiser mark upgrades towards the end of 2017.
• All player ships had their Resurgence values modified as a result of the late February 2020 update.
