The EAD Lindos is an oddly shaped Earth Alliance destroyer. It is, however, one of the most ferocious ships ever seen. With its numerous beam cannons, a Lindos can easily cripple any opponent.

Description:

Inferno R1 Description

The huge Lindos-class is probably the most oddly-designed warship ever constructed by mankind. Bristling with dozens of beam cannons and rapid fire turrets, nearly all of her firepower is concentrated on her forward quarter. Allied Command has lost several destroyers to Lindos strikes, as they are capable of delivering a crippling assault the moment they get into beam range.

Inferno Nostos Description

Martian strike destroyer.

If there are places a warship should never dare to go, in front of a Lindos destroyer must surely be one of them. Five beam cannons and three heavy torpedo launchers lets the Lindos rival even the formidable Boreas class in frontal firepower. Fortunately, the Lindos has no other heavy armaments other than those mounted on the forward quarter, and the torpedo launchers have an extremely limited ammunition capacity, causing many Lindos captains to have to commit to battle without a supply of deadly long-range torpedoes at their disposal. Anti-fighter arnmanent is particularly weak in the forward quarter of the Lindos, meaning the best protection against a Lindos shock jump is often a vigilant fighter screen.

Name origin

Lindos is a town on the Rhodes island.

Veteran Comments

Please read the Veteran Comments policy before editing this section.


It may look like a clown's idea of a building that can fly in space, but don't be fooled. The Lindos is one of the most dangerous warships in INFR1 simply because of its insane forward firepower. 10 beams mean that it can easily annihilate a small fleet on its own within minutes, or even a destroyer as heavily armed as the Boreas within a few seconds. Pre-emptive surgical strikes on this ship to strip it of its weaponry is a necessity if one is escorting warships against it.


2019 version has unique submodels of spinal beam cannons. About a half of total length of frontal extrusions are actually turrets themselves, making them easy to be destroyed from different angles. If you ever charged straightforward to strip enemy Lindos of it's teeth and ended fried by opening salvo, remember to pick safer route in next Inferno release.
