The Iowa is a menacing ship with supreme power, mainly defensively, over all known ships a settler can get, including from christmas NPC auctions.

Its main asset is its high shields and hull - Both higher then any other ships, and the shields actually twice as high as any other - a good accomplishment. However, it doesn't rule the skys without weakness - It has rather low EPS generation, a measly low 40 Flight range and heavy fuel costs.

So, to overview it:

  • Very good at combat when you are plan attacking with it.
  • Massive shields and hull means it is really hard to destroy, and can withhold the firepower of several ships for several battle ticks.
  • The ship itself can carry 6 fighters - Not much, but 6 extra Disruptors is a major add on to a ship like this, and could turn the tide in a fight.

But on the down side...

  • Low Flight range means it has a hard time escaping battle and the patrol ship can track it easier than other ships.
  • Its hugely expensive to build! Also, you might want to note that this makes the enemy want to kill it... Deal a crippling economic valued blow to your opponent by killing their Iowa.
