How to use in your fleet
Zenith Chameleon are pseudo-cloaked ships: the description 'appearance of junk' translates into a modified version of cloak that switches on a couple of seconds after stopping. This places Chameleons as ambush ships. Unfortunately, the utility of such a function is limited to allowing Chameleons to fire upon the enemy first in defense. Furthermore, as they do not re-cloak after firing (or indeed whenever enemy ships are in-range) this "appearance of junk" business is itself a bit of garbage. A Chameleon finds itself to be a mid-range Bomber in a different hull.
How to counter when in the AI fleet
Usually, ships in AI waves never stop moving or attacking, so Fighters alone make a decent counter. Chameleons have no immunities and much lower armor than bombers, so can be stopped by many types of defenses.
Note: A chameleon that is cloaked in this way cannot actually be uncloaked by Tachyon beams or any other tachyon weapons. The "surprise"-element is therefore assured until they move.
