How to use in your fleet
Available only through a fabricator, the anti-starship arachnid is a dedicated big-vessel hunter. Fast and deadly, with these ships one can largely ignore the starship component of a normal wave. The engine-damage aspect of this ship is more of an after-thought than a primary function, as a cap of these will bring down many a starship in a single volley (~15,000,000).
On the other hand, its range of valid targets are small and AIs send few starships overall on attack. Some players complain that this is one of the least useful fabricators for this reason.
How to counter when in the AI fleet
In general, AIs cannot unlock this ship, with the exception of expermentalist AIs.
