Battleship (Martian unit)

===Overall strategy===
Don't be fooled by the name of this unit, for it is far removed from the human concept of a Battleship as far as they are concerned.
For all accounts, the Martian Battleship is not so much a heavily armed naval vessel, as it is in effect a sub-orbital bombardment platform. True, the Martian Battleship is better suited for fighting in zero-grav environments, but on the earth's surface, it functions more as a veritable weapon of mass destruction, capable of levelling whole cities in seconds with its vast array of heavy plasma batteries. 
This is the only similarity the Martian Battleship shares in common with its human equivalent, the Advanced Battleship, and while it is heavily armoured and is clearly the toughest unit and capable even of withstanding nukes, it is not invincible at all: the Human Marauder air superiority fighter is more than capable of taking a Battleship out in vast numbers - all you need to do is to lock them on a Battleship, and watch as the fighters engage in their grim work without breaking a sweat. This is further compounded by the fact that Battleships are slow and costly - gravity truly is no spaceship's friend - so you  are rarely going to see a Martian player build more than two of these monsters in a single game.
