	''I personally hate this ship. It handles like a potato, and lacks top speed, as well as a sufficient afterburner reserve. I would choose anything over this ship.

The best way to use this ship is to stay in one place, on top of a friendly ship, and pretend you're a sentry gun.''		''I personally hate this ship.

	''Not really recommendable at any of the times you can use it in the FS2 campaign except the first SOC Loop. The Herc has around 50% more missile capacity than the Myrmidon, which makes it particularly more effective when dealing with the nippy Serapis fighters. With a pair of Subachs, you still have the firepower with the better-placed six guns to take out Taurets and Sekhmets, and more survivability (as the increased speed of the Myrmidon and Loki isn't necessarily a good thing given you're engaged in convoy escort).''}}

			''Reinforcing the above comments after playing through [[Silent Threat: Reborn]] again. Many of the missions are based around defending an outpost, convoy, or destroyer from Shivan or Terran ships, and for that, the Hercules is undoubtedly the best option. Run with Avengers if you're fighting Shivans (better sustained DPS than the Banshee), or the Prometheus if you're expecting warships or Terran enemies. Bank of Interceptors for fighters and a bank of Hornets for cruiser saturation ensure that a Herc can handle most anything short of a destroyer. Depending on some circumstances, the [[GTB Zeus\|Zeus]] may be a better option if you're expecting to fight more than a couple of cruisers or a destroyer, or a dedicated heavy bomber if the mission demands it. The fact the Herc uses the Prometheus makes it preferable to the [[GTB Athena\|Athena]] in ST:R, as the Avenger takes longer to kill Terran ships than it does their Shivan counterparts.''}}
