The SD Demon


Description:

FS1 Tech Room Description

While the Demon-class Destroyer is easily one of the most massive ships we have yet seen, it is not the biggest or most powerful in the Shivan armada. However, it is still quite dangerous, with a plethora of missile turrets and two full squadrons of fighters. It is suggested that these capital ships be destroyed by bombers, as all cruisers that have attempted to engage a Demon have been destroyed.

The Demon is a Class A threat in any allied system.

FS2 Tech Room Description

The SD Demon class of Shivan destroyers is much smaller than the Lucifer class but very heavily armed and extremely dangerous. Demons are known to carry numerous wings of fighters and bombers.

Veteran Comments

The sheer number of missile batteries on a Demon can make it very annoying indeed in FS1. In FS2 these missiles are less of a threat, and the posistioning of the Demon's flak guns and AAA beams makes it possible to knock out one weapon and leave much of that side of the ship defenseless. Unlike the Ravana, however, expect the Demon to take some severe punishment before it goes down. Also expect those main battery turrets to take severe punishment before being knocked out.

Surprisingly, the Demon's hull strength increases sixty percent between FS1 and FS2. This inadvertent bug undoubtedly made a few FSPort missions much harder. Now that the Port team knows of the problem, it will be fixed in the next release. :)
