How to use in your fleet
Zenith Electric Bomber: Big, bad, and to be honest rather expensive per ship. Unfortunately, half the things in the universe will focus them down (especially Ion Cannons, so you'll pay dearly) - limiting the utility of these Bombers on offense. The danger of concentrating so much fire-power into one ship is obviously over-kill, but at 6400 range you may not want to let your juicy Bombers into range. (These beasts have Polycrystal bonuses, interestingly enough).
The biggest obstacle to using these is their limited range of bonuses, a problem also suffered by many other Bomber-like vessels. Expect to spend forever building them, simply to increase the oomph of your assault-fleet.
How to counter when in the AI fleet
There was once a tale about a Zenith Descendent AI, who sent a few hundred angry Zenith Electric Bombers and Zenith Bombards each on a rampage. In those numbers, a player fleet and turret ball would be shred to pieces.
Thankfully, this rarely happens. Cap-wise, this ship actually sucks pretty hard. Building an extra Force Field will grant your defenses enough time to take them down.
