Current Reef is nearly unusable. It is supposed to be an aircraft carrier, but its model is way too small to do that efficiently. So I would like to introduce a new reef.
Morale Destroyer ReefThis Reef is a capture Riot/Skirmisher destroyer. Neither it or its drones do any normal damage. Instead it focuses on mercantilism at sea and on the coast line. Gulls fly around and impress enemy units with their capture rays, while Reef can fire targeted homing disarm missiles at uppity colonists to take the teeth out of them. It can also rearm and repair up to 2 airplanes at a time.
Capture Gulls are GoldenHow do you beat it? Like all other Riot/Skirmisher in the game, it is disarmed by Razors. Zephyrs also work for pest control. A group of assaults and anti-air will be able to sink the Reef. Don't put your submarines too close to the Reef, Gulls can and will shoot its capture ray through the water. Anything a Gull captures will be controlled by the host Reef, so the Reef will have to be destroyed to get the units back.
