Pandemic

Pandemic is an acid missile cruiser with an Area-of-Effect attack.

Properties
Pandemic fires an area-of-effect acid missile at a considerable fire rate, while the Blaster turret allows Pandemic to deal damage when its facing another direction.

The acid missiles detonate on contact, or when shot by Phalanx. Units with shields are not effected by the acid missiles area damage.

Strategies

 * Shields will allow Pandemic to survive its own acid missile attacks. However, it will stop regenerating when it is depleted, since it will likely place acid damage over time on itself, keeping the shield at 1 health, but won't regenerate further until the acid effect wears off.
 * Armor Regen, Self-Destruct, Shields, and Freeze Rounds make Pandemic an "improved" version of Fury.
 * Try not to use Pandemic in close quarters.
 * At its best, the Pandemic is an incredibly powerful ship, annihilating fighters and buildings alike through acid AOE. At its worst, it is a self-detrimental, weak ship. Plan accordingly.
