The most versatile ship on the high seas, the carrier serves several functions. It is equipped with a manual-fire disarming Tactical Missile launcher for disabling enemy capital ships from outside of their fire range. The reef serves as a mobile [[Repair#Airpad_repair|repair]] base for friendly aircraft. Perhaps most notably, the carrier provides its own complement of [[Gull|surface attack drones]] to engage targets.

The Reef's drones can travel a fairly long distance away from it, so it can be used in a similar role as a Skirmisher (as opposed to the amphibious [[Detriment]], which is like a riot/assault unit compared to the Reef). Moreover, when you've built up enough drones (each Reef can have up to 8 [[Gull]] drones, with a combined dps of 640), they can easily overwhelm enemies through sheer numbers (especially when you have many Reefs). However, anti-swarm units and structures, including anti-air weapons, can and will give the Reef's drones problems (in which case, if you're noticing that your Reefs are not breaking through the enemy's defenses in a reasonable amount of time, then it might be time to send them back to recover).

- Still, even when the Reef's drones are being shot down, at least they can distract the enemy from your other units, including other heavy units like the [[Grizzly]]. Besides, the drones are totally expendable, while the Reef is sitting at a safe distance away.

As for the Reef's disarm missiles, keep in mind that, while they're being stockpiled, you'll be draining 5 metal-per-second-per-Reef. Therefore, if you're building many Reefs, and you want to conserve where your metal is being spent, you may want to limit how many disarm missiles they're allowed to stockpile. Generally, a stockpile size of just 1 or 2 missiles per Reef should be sufficient if your Reefs are seeing constant battle. (For the record, 2 or 3 missiles should be adequate to keep a [[Shogun]] disarmed, while 16 should be sufficient to keep a [[Detriment]] disarmed, though you'll still need to follow it up by destroying said units.)
