Up to date for latest version, 0.97a.

The Omen is rarely deployed due to the cost associated with maintaining such a technologically advanced ship. Its excellent shields and the EMP Emitter it carries make it a perfect escort for larger ships.

–In-game description

Overview

A high tech frigate equipped with an EMP Emitter, the Omen's ship system also serves as a powerful weapon on its on right capable of targeting and knocking out enemy weapons and engines, alongside destroying fighters and missiles.

The Omen is a high tech frigate which should be built around the EMP Emitter being treated as its main weapon - It lacks enough weapon mounts of any type or size to carry a significant loadout otherwise. Given the range of the EMP Emitter, short-range weaponry is advised to encourage the AI to pilot the ship near to enemies where the EMP arcs can wreck havoc once activated.

Tips and strategies

Owing to its low armor and hull values, boosting its excellent shield strength via Hardened Shields is recommended to avoid it needing to drop shields to tank shots on what little armor and hull it has.
