			===Extra bays when damaged===
			The nice thing about the extra bays from having homeworlds is that they still work even when the Zilla is heavily damaged. So if you have 145% damage, normally you would only have 1 bay active, but if you control 2 homeworlds, you will get +2 extra bays, for a total of 3.

Psydev: clarified point about Virgo

	The ship's ability to survive with up to 150% damage against planets makes it well suited to take out maxbases. Its special ability is you get +1 bay for every homeworld you control (including your own). As a late-game ship, its value in this role can be quite high, if you control several enemy homeworlds (which gives the Zilla more bays). In the early game, this ship is less remarkable, since it has only 6 bays. Since you can only build 1 of them in the early game, Zillas will not make a big difference to your fleet. It is also quite expensive in minerals (the most expensive in the game, in minerals:mass ratio), making it a bit less appealing to build before ship limit.

	Further adding to the Zilla's appeal as a late-game ship, it only costs 11 PP to build its 500 kt hull. This is quite light for a heavy carrier with 10 beams. The next most comparable carrier ~~for attacking bases~~ is the Virgo (625 kt), which costs 14 PP. The Zilla is better than any [[Robot]] carrier at attacking starbases. The only ships comparable at destroying starbases are [[Gorbie_Class_Battlecarrier\|Gorbies]], [[Biocide_Class_Carrier\|Biocides]] and [[Nova_Class_Super-dreadnought\|Novas]] (with quantum torps). If the Zilla gets extra bays, it can be even better than those ships. This is mostly due to its tidal force shield, which allows it to survive up to 150% damage against planets.
