+ | The '''AB ''Zakros''''' is a user-made [[Ancients|Ancient]] bomber. Originally created by Bobboau as part of his Ancients ships project. It was subsequently used by the [[Inferno Release 1]] mod, it has since been used in several other unrelated mods to represent a bomber of Ancient origin, or of another non-[[GTVA]] faction. In [[Blue Planet]], it served as a [[Vishnan Inquisitor|Vishnan bomber]]. The HTL version was created by the [[Ancient-Shivan War (campaign)|Ancient-Shivan War]] mod. | ||

+ | ===Inferno Release 1 Tech Room Description=== | ||
+ | A very heavy assault bomber, the Zakros can be equipped with a variety of massive torpedoes for use against Allied and Shivan targets. Although fearsome-looking and well-armored, this bomber's lack of shielding and sluggish speed makes it very vulnerable to ACM and anti-hull cannons. | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | ===Ancient-Shivan War Tech Room Description=== | ||
+ | The Zakros assault-class bomber is a heavy bombardier built for the challenge of eliminating targets ranging well beyond corvette chassis. Using the Attis as a template, artisans greatly reinforced the design's already-impressive hull plating and extended available secondary capacity space. This places immense strategic value upon the Zakros. While it can easily absorb hostile fire, low maximum speeds means dodging it is not as simple. Also, the Empire has yet to utilize its humongous bays for the deployment of super warheads, a matter currently deemed unncessary. If a threat should appear that requires such frightening weapons, the Zakros will always be ready to respond. | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | ===Blue Planet Tech Room Description (Vishnan Inquisitor)=== | ||
+ | These larger variants of Vishnan bombers are deployed against capital ships, and appear to be equipped with significantly more powerful munitions. These craft seem to serve the role of assault bomber. | ||

Back to User-made Ships |
The AB Zakros is a user-made Ancient bomber. Originally created by Bobboau as part of his Ancients ships project. It was subsequently used by the Inferno Release 1 mod, it has since been used in several other unrelated mods to represent a bomber of Ancient origin, or of another non-GTVA faction. In Blue Planet, it served as a Vishnan bomber. The HTL version was created by the Ancient-Shivan War mod.

Inferno Release 1 Tech Room Description
A very heavy assault bomber, the Zakros can be equipped with a variety of massive torpedoes for use against Allied and Shivan targets. Although fearsome-looking and well-armored, this bomber's lack of shielding and sluggish speed makes it very vulnerable to ACM and anti-hull cannons.
Ancient-Shivan War Tech Room Description
The Zakros assault-class bomber is a heavy bombardier built for the challenge of eliminating targets ranging well beyond corvette chassis. Using the Attis as a template, artisans greatly reinforced the design's already-impressive hull plating and extended available secondary capacity space. This places immense strategic value upon the Zakros. While it can easily absorb hostile fire, low maximum speeds means dodging it is not as simple. Also, the Empire has yet to utilize its humongous bays for the deployment of super warheads, a matter currently deemed unncessary. If a threat should appear that requires such frightening weapons, the Zakros will always be ready to respond.
Blue Planet Tech Room Description (Vishnan Inquisitor)
These larger variants of Vishnan bombers are deployed against capital ships, and appear to be equipped with significantly more powerful munitions. These craft seem to serve the role of assault bomber.

Veteran Comments
Not really that well armored in ASW, given the fact that any damage you take accumulates due to not having shields. Luckily, the Damnation's shockwave is miniscule so being vaporized by your own bomb's shockwave isn't likely unless it gets intercepted. Even so, it's a good choice to bomb out the weapon subsystems of Shivan warships first, especially those with good anti-fighter defenses and can take a beating, like the Moloch or Lilith. Not only does it let your bombs connect better, you won't be taking as much damage from stray blobs, and the risk of being vaporized by your own bomb being intercepted while right under you is greatly reduced.
