==Development history==

Corporation “Ellydium” proudly presents its main achievement — the latest destroyer, built by scientists at the station “Ellydium Theta”. The ship was designed using the latest advances in the development of crystalline technology. Incredible offensive and defensive power make the destroyer any team's trump card in any battle. The vessel can provide fire support in both offensive and defensive operations.

The ship's unique feature is a remotely controlled special crystalline swarm, created under the personal guidance of doctors Matthew Gilmore and Conrad Dimeni. This is a true weapon of retribution! Mankind's sword of vengeance, forged by employees of the corporation “Ellydium”!

Launches a crystalline swarm, which operates in several modes:
*Defence mode (hull and shield resistance increases, the swarm attacks nearby enemies);
*Protection mode (hull and shield resistance increases, the swarm forms a shield and guards the ship against damage, additionally increases maneuverability);
*Turret mode (the swarm forms a turret that attacks the target you lock, additionally increases speed).
When the enemy destroys the swarm, the ship’s resistance to damage increases.

Launches a crystalline swarm, which operates in several modes:
*Defence mode (the swarm surrounds the destroyer and boosts its damage resistance and hull regeneration);
*Attack mode (the swarm pursues a target captured by the destroyer and deals damage to it, additionally increases speed and maneuverability);
*Hunt mode (the swarm splits into several groups that attack nearby enemies, additionally increases speed and maneuverability).
When the enemy destroys the swarm, the ship’s resistance to damage increases.

<div style="text-align: center;padding: 4px;background: #000000;">[[File:SM Fast swarm.jpg|485px|link=Fast swarm]]</div>
Launches a crystalline swarm, which operates in several modes:
*Boost mode (the swarm accelerates the destroyer; resistance to hull and shield damage increases);
*Projectile mode (the swarm flies in the direction of the sight and when it hits or is activated again, it goes into cloud mode, kinetic damage is dealt on impact);
*Cloud mode (the swarm freezes in place and increases in size; opponents caught in it are slowing down and cannot teleport and use micro warp, the range of their radar is reduced; allies inside the cloud have reduced radar signatures; the destroyer's turn speed increases, as well as hull and shield resistance to damage).

When the enemy destroys the swarm, the ship’s resistance to damage increases.

==Manufacturing==
The cabin is the most important component of the ship. To build the ship, pilots first need to manufacture a ship cabin and obtain Xenocrystals. After construction destroyer can be developed from rank 9 to rank 15. 

[[Credits]] {{CR}}, [[Experience]] {{SYN}}, Xenocrystals, Enriched monocrystals and Alien composite blocks are required for the ship's upgrades. Also you need such resources as Entangled shards, Crystal storage, Unstable crystal and Crystal cascade. For 3-rd speical module and some equipment you also need Neocortexes and Archeocortexes.
 
To build Ze'Ta you need:

*1 Destroyer cabin

*300 Xenocrystals

*Additionally 15'000'000 {{CR}} on study of blueprint and 5'000'000 {{CR}} on cabin production.

==Nodes==
*Ships made by ‘Ellydium’ scientists with Alien technology may evolve under the influence of ‘xenocrystals’.
::Ship rank changes.
::Ship appearance changes.
::Available modules, weapons and special modules change.
*All changes to the ships are made by pilots themselves when they choose the appropriate nodes in the ship tree.
*All development nodes in the new ship tree can be divided into several classes:
::‘Special module’ node class. Allows to equip the ship with various special modules, depending on ship rank and its objectives. '''The opening of the special module gives extra points for the ship.'''
::‘Blueprint research’ node class for modules, modifiers and weapons. Required for production of special modules, modifiers and weapons from ‘Ellydium’ corporation. After research the nodes will not be visible in the ship tree.
::‘Basic ship characteristics’ node class. Improves guidance. Increases maximum energy reserves and its recovery speed. Increases maximum ship speed. Increases maximum hull durability. Increases maximum shield volume. Improves weapon parameters.
::‘Auxiliary ship slot’ node class. Adds slots for hull, capacitor, active modules, shield modifiers, engine and CPU.
::‘Additional bonuses’ node class. Adds bonuses to defence and attack. You can only activate one module at a time.
*The pilot must first research his desired node, and then activate it or a group of research nodes. Only after pressing the ‘Apply’ button the selected changes will be activated on your ship.
*Each node can be deactivated, thus changing the configuration and capabilities of the ship to fit the specific challenges the pilot faces.
*The number of slots on the ship is limited! Carefully review all the possible nodes and activate only the ones that you need.
