Puma

Puma is a balanced Medium ship.

Properties
Puma is a medium ship with blasters and missiles. It fires two blasters in bursts of three and two missiles every two (?) bursts. The missiles do more damage on impact.

Piranha, Mosquito, Puma, Blaster, Double Blaster, and Autogun are all in your inventory when you launch the game for the first time.

Puma, Odyssey, Athena, and Tremor are the only medium ships that don't cost metal.

Strategies

 * First-time users should upgrade Puma early on, as this will be their only medium for a few levels until they get more ships.
 * Puma excels at taking down fighters in the first few levels, but will get destroyed by the enemy defenses at high levels.
 * 4 Supply technologies, freeze rounds, self-destruct, and Cloaking make for an early surprise in PvP. This also backfires as you will usually have less energy to work with, though.
 * One of few units that benefit from having an engine upgrade because it lures turrets fire from frontline and attacks from behind. Adding SD to engine will leave an unforgetable feeling of destroying reactors surprise.
