Changes

These are the largest class of [[capital ships]], and the only one currently present in Vendetta Online. There is not much storyline behind these massive vessels, as they are still in testing. Heavy Assault Cruisers are around 800m long, have a large fin on the "underside", and a docking bay near the fin. By entering this bay, you may gain access to the [[media:HAC_turret.png|ship's turrets]], and armor, in addition to repairing your ship. The ship is equipped with several turrets, each of which holds either an [[Weapons:Large#Gatling|Über Gatling Turret]] a Capital Gauss Cannon (higher larger projectile, more damage, higher rangecapable of detonating ordinance) or a Beam Cannon. At the moment, the piloting of all Heavy Assault Cruisers is managed by AI systems, but work is already in progress for total player controlled versions.
