How to use in your fleet
This cloaked melee-unit offers a number of interesting benefits. They can be used to snipe fleet-ships and most Guardians under a Force Field, and can creep up to long-range ships undetected, especially the pesky ones with a retreat range (although one should keep their uncloaked ships away as a lure). Its Missile-immunity is perfect against Missile Frigates and saves attrition from Missile-based guardposts on AI planets.
The inability of Vampire Claws to damage guardposts and starships is an Achilles heel, when compared to Vorticular Cutlasses. Think of these as assassins to the Cutlass barbarians.
