Compared to the three core elements of an average warship—firepower, defense, and maneuverability—the Swarm's warship beetles were not only inferior to the top ten tycoons' Level 30+ warships, but also fell behind when compared to the Star Alliance's Level 27 warships, albeit not by much.
Bai Zhongqi had spent a lot of time studying how the Swarm waged war and concluded that compared to other civilizations in the Galaxy, the Swarm held two advantages: first, the Swarm's warship beetles were under the unified control of the Empress, surpassing the coordinated combat tactics of most civilizations' fleets; second, the Swarm truly possessed a diverse and tricky ability to adapt, able to surprise their adversaries on the battlefield.
