How to use in your fleet
A 'Space Tank' is somewhat mis-named: it is essentially an more heavily-armoured Bomber that also counters Bombers, leaving Fighters as the best triangle ship counter. As they are as slow as Missile Frigates, these ships serve better in a defensive role or in situations where polycrystal armour is essential (read Fortress assault). In such cases Space Tanks really shine.
Comment on overall balance: Some players are of the opinion that more bombers is always good - others find this ship lack-lustre due to its low mobility, for which it doesn't actually get much more survivability.
