Template:Ship Infobox Template
Description
The Imperator is a very powerful Battleship and was the first of its class to require artifacts to build. It has two large, angled arms lined with turrets, as well as a central rounded region from which the spinals are fired. The ship has a futuristic gray and neon styling theme, which is seen in other advanced ships like the Prototype X-1
Interior
The interior of the Imperator is only a box with a teleporter in the back and neon glass in its front.
Advantages
- Highest health of any current Battleship.
- Relatively high speed for a Battleship.
- Great for PvP and Sieging.
- Versatile Turrets.
- Great firepower from its 9 Turrets and 4 Spinal Barrels.
- The Auto-Lasers provide good defense from smaller Ships.
- High cargo hold for a Battleship but only 40% of the Helios's Cargo Hold.
- Has 200 Shield & Hull DPS, giving it a total of 400 DPS. This puts it slightly ahead of the Nautilus.
Disadvantages
- Very expensive at 500k Credits, 1 quantum core, 6 armored plating, 6 plasma batteries, 2 antimatter shards, 2 data archives, and 1 ascension crystal.
- Very large, practically Dreadnought-sized.
- Has two blind spots, one in the very front in between the arms, and another one behind the ship.
- Thick profile and top-mounted Turrets make it hard to shoot ships that move below you.
- Awful turret accuracy
- Somewhat weak to Shield Breakers as it has mainly Shield-based health.
- Often loses to the Helios, another Advanced Battleship, and the Nautilus, an Alien Battleship.
- Despite it having the high health, it still is fragile and a slow and easy to hit target.
- Considered by many not to be worth it due to its many flaws and its ridiculous cost.
Strategy
- Despite some difficulty, it can defend against small ships, however it is best used against larger ships.
- The Imperator can easily destroy low-tier Dreadnoughts, making it a great ship against Super Capital Ships if you can manage to stay in their blind spots.
- The Imperator is fit for pirating, and is pretty good at it too.
- Avoid using it as a main ship of a fleet or against a fleet, as its fragility and status as a target makes it a priority to destroy over other ships.
