The Measured Response is one of several ships players can pilot in Fleet Battles. The Measured are a race of alien bookkeepers in Star Control: Origins. They are wards of the Scryve Empire and have been the official keepers of records and layers of red tape for as long as anyone can remember.

Mechanics

The Measured Response can’t really take too many hits... but that doesn’t mean you should write it off as weak! This little ship has an awesome turn rate and decent acceleration, along with a moderate top speed and recharge rate. Its controls are different from most ships, so it does take a little getting used to at first!

Its primary weapon, Red Tape, shoots several canisters that track and hone in on enemy ships. Bolts, beams, and other weapons pass right through them, so they’re pretty much impossible to destroy - your enemy will need to rely on their flight skills to dodge them! Did we mention that if they hit your enemy, it slows them down, making them easier to hit? Yeah, that's a thing.
