Summary
Often a small attack shuttle can be more effective at assaulting an enemy world than a ship in orbit. However the shuttles cannot sustain much damage and should be deployed carefully – while they are away, their carrier ships should also be careful so that they can be there to pick the shuttles up after their attack run. It may be possible to upgrade the basic engine systems through research.
Destroyer mission section carries one Assault Shuttle to attack enemy colonies. Cruiser mission section carries more, depending on race. An Assault Shuttle whose home ship is destroyed will seek another ship with an open Assault Shuttle Section to dock with and reload. After the end of combat, shuttles and their carriers are paired off again. Excess shuttles are lost and ships without shuttles will have their shuttles replaced only after they are repaired.
Assault Shuttles can be upgraded to Advanced Assault Shuttles with the acquisition of Advanced Drone Frames, and either type of shuttle can be carried by the Assault Shuttle section.
