The GTS Hygeia

Description:

FS2 Tech Room Description

The GTS Hygeia is the fleet's newest Terran support ship. It is fast and maneuverable, a necessity when trying to dock with fighters in the heat of battle. Triton Dynamics designed the Hygeia class with huge cargo bays for munitions storage, plus the latest magnetic-stasis delivery system for quickly re-supplying combat craft with missiles and bombs. The Hygeia's repair facilities are driven by neural-net AI, for ultra-fast system diagnostics and repair. The high number of warheads carried by the Hygeia makes it a dangerous ship to be near when it blows up.

The tech room description isn't kidding. Do Not let one of these get destroyed while it's attached to your fighter or is near anything fragile you happen to care about.

All support ships in both games are pretty much the same, they're pretty much sitting ducks so don't expect these things to make it through a firefight, and if they should explode, make it far away from you.

The Hygeia's destruction has no shockwave, meaning that you can be fairly close when it blows up safely; truly significant damage will only occur if it's in skin-skin contact or within about 25 meters. Beyond that your shields probably won't even notice.

This is actually worse than the Centaur, as it is not improved in any way and presents a much larger target profile, making it more likely to die..
