	The lead ship of the squadron, Time Dilation is a missile monitor or a "MLS2 monitor", with 5 [[component:mls-2-launcher\|'''MLS-2 Size 2 Missile launchers''']] that can launch 20 Size 2 "Sunfish" missiles at a time. These missiles should be used to hit light-medium targets and support your lighter assets in gaining and controlling capture points. Targets like [[ship:keystone\|Keystone destroyers]], [[ship:raines\|Raines frigates]], [[ship:sprinter\|Sprinter corvettes]] are to be prioritized, as well as any [[ship:levy\|Levy-class carriers]]. You can try against damaged warships, but ships larger than [[ship:vauxhall\|Vauxhalls]] usually have too good point defense. An important exception here is [[Ship:axford#Greedfords:\|Greedfords]], which ditch most point defense turrets for side-arms. Getting strikes into these is invaluable for your team.

	With this arsenal, these MMTs can either, defend capture points, scout the void and corners, or hunt Alliance [[ship:sprinter\|Sprinter-class corvettes]] and [[ship:raines\|Raines]], and most importantly [[Ship:keystone#Beam_Destroyer:\|Keystone beam destroyers]], using both the jammer, guns and missiles to blind and kill these targets. Just don’t take sustained heavy fire in these warships. The jammer and the tug’s anti-missile missiles on the tugboat also serve as its defense as they have no point defense (PD) turrets or “hardkill” PD. Most importantly, the MMT has a [[component:bulwark-huntress\|'''Bulwark Huntress''']] radar with a range of 10km and the powerful Burnthrough ability. Through selecting the ship using the BRN command, a player can make the MMT do slight damage to its own radar in return for lighting up stealthy Alliance warships. It is the [[component:bulwark-huntress\|Huntress]]’s 10km range that allows the MMT to provide a significant degree of vision, allowing it to both act as a forward scout, or overwatch corners.

	Of course, while the tugboats capable scout hunters and scouts, they are far too expensive to take capture points, which are usually guarded by Shelter Alliance assets. Instead, Tantalum relies on its three Ferryman-class Shuttles, each armed with a pair of [[component:t20-cannon\|'''T20 100mm Cannons''']]. This small gun can damage Alliance Sprinter-class corvettes and provides an outsized threat for its cost. A [[component:vls-1-23-launcher\|'''VLS-1-23 chaff box''']] carrying anti-missile missiles and chaff provide each shuttle with a minimal missile defense complement. Send these cheap 164 point scouts into capture points to grab them for your team, and if they survive, use them as vision or to sneak behind the enemy lines to grab their “natural” capture points they start with.

	A note regarding the tugboats missiles. Each MMT has two types of missiles: Short-ranged Size 3 "Lance" Torpedoes aimed and longer-ranged [[Starter_Fleet_Guide:Tantalum#SGM-312_Nunchuck\|Size 3 Two-Stage "Nunchuck"]] ~~missiles~~. The Lance is a typical short ranged torpedo, meant to be used when an MMT is in cover, lying in ambush against enemy cap assets as these can deliver a power blow against the enemy. The "Nunchuck" however is new to the OSPN arsenal and uses the new "Flail" missile body. This two-stage missile has a cruise stage and then an agile maneuver stage to beat enemy point defense. Fire them at pesky scouting [[ship:raines\|Frigates]] or [[Ship:keystone#Beam_Destroyer:\|Keystones]] at range while jamming them up.		A note regarding the tugboats missiles.

	With this arsenal, these MMTs can either, defend capture points, scout the void and corners, or hunt Alliance [[ship:sprinter\|Sprinter-class corvettes]] and [[ship:raines\|Raines]], and most importantly [[Ship:keystone#Beam_Destroyer:\|Keystone beam destroyers]], using both the jammer, guns and missiles to blind and kill these targets. Just don’t take sustained heavy fire in these warships. The jammer and the tug’s anti-missile missiles on the tugboat also serve as its defense as they have no point defense (PD) turrets or “hardkill” PD. Most importantly, the MMT has a [[component:bulwark-huntress\|'''Bulwark Huntress''']] radar with a range of 10km and the powerful Burnthrough ability. Through selecting the ship using the BRN command, a player can make the MMT do slight damage to its own radar in return for lighting up stealthy Alliance warships. It is the [[component:bulwark-huntress\|Huntress]]’s 10km range that allows the MMT to provide a significant degree of vision, allowing it to both act as a forward scout, or overwatch corners.

	Of course, while the tugboats capable scout hunters and scouts, they are far too expensive to take capture points, which are usually guarded by Shelter Alliance assets. Instead, Tantalum relies on its three Ferryman-class Shuttles, each armed with a pair of [[component:t20-cannon\|'''T20 100mm Cannons''']]. This small gun can damage Alliance Sprinter-class corvettes and provides an outsized threat for its cost. A [[component:vls-1-23-launcher\|'''VLS-1-23 chaff box''']] carrying anti-missile missiles and chaff provide each shuttle with a minimal missile defense complement. Send these cheap 164 point scouts into capture points to grab them for your team, and if they survive, use them as vision or to sneak behind the enemy lines to grab their “natural” capture points they start with.

	A note regarding the tugboats missiles. Each MMT has two types of missiles: Short-ranged Size 3 "Lance" Torpedoes aimed and longer-ranged [[Starter_Fleet_Guide:Tantalum#SGM-312_Nunchuck\|Size 3 Two-Stage "Nunchuck"]] ~~missiles~~. The Lance is a typical short ranged torpedo, meant to be used when an MMT is in cover, lying in ambush against enemy cap assets as these can deliver a power blow against the enemy. The "Nunchuck" however is new to the OSPN arsenal and uses the new "Flail" missile body. This two-stage missile has a cruise stage and then an agile maneuver stage to beat enemy point defense. Fire them at pesky scouting [[ship:raines\|Frigates]] or [[Ship:keystone#Beam_Destroyer:\|Keystones]] at range while jamming them up.		A note regarding the tugboats missiles.
