Unfortunately, most of the ships has very little HP compared to their size. I think, only the monolith can be used as a tank. Ground units are superior compared to ships, both in damage and survivability. upset

Edit: In my opinion, the best unit to use for tanking damage are Neo Tanks. They have 200 size and 100,000 HP (without artifacts) for 10 logistics and 60,000 upkeep.

Ships were not supposed to be superior in all ways to ground units. Ground units, even if that means fighters and variteks, are the primary "force" in the game. Ships are very expensive options to take on ground forces because ships in general, especially the big ones, don't hit the ground very well at all considering what they cost o use. That was by design. Even the idea of Variteks which don't have bad weaknesses except not hitting ships hard at all but no strong counter unit are terribly expensive and almost impractical to use, financially, unless they are the right unit for the job at the time

Currently there isn't much to attack "in space" so everything is essentially a ground fight. Because the ships are so large and ground units hit them so slightly they make good "tanks" for a ground fights, drawing a lot of fire, but only if you bring other actual ground forces. You can't simply mass ships and expect to do well in ground fights unless you have an overwhelming fleet. If you do want a ground hitting fleet of ships only the most effective money to attack vs ground is Cruisers/destroyers depending what you're hitting and Monolith. Battleships are all around units that even have hangar capacity and the Dreadnought is mainly an anti big ship unit.
