In terms of combat effectiveness (commanders and AI assides) what ship would most likly be better suted for navel engagements.
I belive that the Marathon Class Cruiser is far superier tho the Halcyon Class.

The encyclopedia states: [quote]The Halcyon was outclassed in every way by the Marathon class Cruisers that replaced it. [/quote] The Halcyon has one less MAC, is slow, and only has 180 missiles compared to the Marathons 1800. The upgraded Halcyon might be a bit better(upgraded reactor, several thousand more missiles, new MAC) but probably still not as good as a Marathon.
