The Dragoon Destroyer is a Liberator Destroyer designed for PvP combat, sporting Void resistance and the ability to equip powerful Marauder Technologies. However, it is blocked from using those of other sources.

As a destroyer, this ship has modest firepower but very long range, taking out opponents from afar.

Strategy and Setup

Advantages

The Dragoon Destroyer can rain devastation from afar just like the Liberator Destroyer, being able to equip Void Eclipse Drivers that deal even more damage. It is capable of outranging Enforcer Battleships, turning them into dust in a matter of seconds.

This ship has a reduced repair time typical of Marauder Hulls, forming a cheap but extremely deadly fleet.

Disadvantages

Without Harmonic Agility, Dragoon Destroyers have a hard time catching up to opposing Paladin Carriers, and may even be destroyed by squadrons before being able to open fire. Liberator Destroyers have innate Harmonic Siege which enables them to do more damage than Dragoon Destroyers against modules.

The Dragoon Destroyer has limited armor and shield capacity, making it extremely vulnerable to blitz attacks by Ravager Cutters and Berserker Cruisers. However, the opponent will usually take much more damage than you do.

Similar to other Marauder Hulls, this ship lacks Alien and Plasma resistance. It is also unable to equip any resistors and therefore relatively fragile against non-Marauder weapons. Protect your destroyers with tanky Berserker Cruisers to maximize the total damage you can deal before being destroyed.
