−	''The biggest issue of the Zeus is its limited use outside the strike bomber role - want to configure it as a missile boat? In FS1, it has the same ordnance capacity as the Hercules, trading 2 guns for the ability to use the Stiletto and the Tsunami. In FS2 it's completely outclassed as a missile boat by almost everything - particularly the Hercules Mk 2, which can carry over 50% more ordnance including the better-than-Stilettos [[Trebuchet]] - and is also outclassed as a strike bomber by the Artemis(which in addition to holding its equivalent of Cyclops bombs in its 2 lower bays can also hold a bay of Tornados for anti-fighter work). Even then, though, the Zeus does have the advantage of being able to carry the Harpoon, as well as having better-placed gun mounts than the Artemis that are split into 2 banks for better flexibility than the single four-bank mount of its replacement.''}}	+	''The biggest issue of the Zeus is its limited use outside the strike bomber role - want to configure it as a missile boat?

-The '''GTB ''Zeus''''' is a post-Great War-era [[Terrans|Terran-designed]] strike bomber by the Research & Development division of [[Galactic Terran Intelligence]]. It improves upon the [[GTB Athena|GTB ''Athena'']] in that it can mount the [[GTM Tsunami]]; in this regard, it is also the first Terran strike bomber capable of mounting warheads. The trade-off is a slight reduction in speed, armor and shield strength.

 ===FS1 Tech Room Description===
 Another product of GTI R&D, the Zeus strike bomber is a worthy successor to the Athena.  Its balanced design and increased reactor capacity give it remarkable speed for a bomber, yet still remains capable of carrying the powerful Tsunami bombs.  These features will make the Zeus a versatile and effective weapon against capital ships.
