How to use in your fleet
Zenith Bombards are the ultimate in long-range fire-support of all the fleet ships and starships in the human arsenal. They are best used as a separate control group steering away from enterprising Bombers and melee-ships while remaining in range of the main battle.
Their corresponding large crystal cost should be factored in both resource management (when building these beasts) and fleet management (keeping them alive). A cap of bombards is about equal in cost to two starships, but worth much more. If necessary, retreat these out of the wormhole while they are recharging. Unless it's safe, never evac the rest of your fleet and leave them lagging far behind for an ill-timed AI-reinforcement to tear apart.
