Limited Ship
This ship is a limited ship, and could only be acquired for a limited time or it has since become limited.
You lose it forever once it is destroyed, or otherwise has limited availability on the Limited Build Menu.
This page is about the player-ownable vessel. If you're looking for the NPC variant, see Devastator.
The Annihilator is a Carrier made by the Kneall for the ongoing Kneall Event.
Template:Ship Infobox Template
Description
The Annihilator is a long Carrier that is based off the Devastator, but is significantly smaller and has nerfed stats than the ship it is derived from. It carriers 4 Alien themed A - Bruiser fighters and 1 Unique battleship fighter, the A - Bionicle.
Appearance
The Annihilator is a long, slender carrier that has an almost identical appearance to the Devastator. It is one of the largest alien ships in the game, rivalling the size of the Prototype X-2. There are 2 teleporters, one leading to the interior and bridge of the ship, one leads to the fighter bay.
The Fighter Bay is a long hangar housing 4 A - Bruiser fighters, and at the end of the bay lies the teleporter to the A - Bionicle, which lies under the ship.
The Interior is identical to the interior of the Obliterator, description of the interior is identical to that of the mentioned ship.
Advantages
- Has a Fighter comparable to a battleship.
- Good support ship for fleet and sieges.
- High Hull damage.
- The fighters possess incredible combined firepower if used in a swarm, and even more so if the carrier itself is supporting it.
- Has more turret firepower than most non limited Dreadnoughts.
- High total health of 24000, comparable to a Super Capital.
- Very high total damage output when combined with Fighters.
- Very powerful unique fighters.
- It has an explosion radius of 1250 (12500 Studs), rivaling that of Super Capital nukes and can kill full shield Dreadnoughts.
Disadvantages
- The Carrier itself lacks Spinal firepower.
- Rather low Shield damage compared to Hull damage.
- Sluggish turn speed.
- Struggles to fire all turrets at once, unless pointing directly at its target.
- Limited carrier. Making you a large target.
- The second most expensive material cost in the game, totaling at 1.9 Million, only behind Lucifer.
- Similar to other obtainable Kneall capital ships, the turrets have rather poor accuracy.
- Low turret range.
- It's extremely powerful nuke will be a threat to your own fleet/team when your ship is destroyed.
- Requires a special permit from Biokari in the quest Reverse Engineering
Strategy
- Do not use this ship alone. If you do so, travel with a heavy escort that you can trust.
- NEVER use this ship for tanking damage. The expense of it alone makes it a massive target.
- It can be used as a support Carrier in sieges by carrying Fighters to distract enemy Starbases, as well as providing great support from its Battleship-like fighter.
- Useful in fleets, as it provides a powerful and disposable Fighter.
- Release fighters, get a pilot in the A - Bionicle then then warp back.
- When fighting with the Annihilator, try and stay pointed to your opponent so all your turrets have a line of sight.
- People might underestimate this ship due to its Carrier icon on the minimap. However, this ship's strength is actually more akin to a Super Capital.
- Be aggressive when you must engage in combat. Due to the low range nature of Annihilator's turrets, not being able to fire the first shot will put you in a disadvantage.
- Try not to engage when you don't have fighters. This ship is only extremely powerful when paired with its fighters.
- If you think your ship will be destroyed, Warp your ship away as far as possible from your own fleet or starbase as the nuke has a whopping radius of 12,500 studs, and if possible, you can warp to the enemy's fleet or starbase to bring the nuke there instead.
Version History
- Added in version .75a10
Trivia
- It's fighter, The A - Bionicle is an almost identical counterpart to the limited battleship, the Bionicle.
- Can be obtained in the Non-Limited Build menu, It's main item, The Annihilator Blueprint, can be made in the quest Reverse Engineering.
- One of the few playable ships of 100% Kneall design in-game, the others being the Prototype X-2, the Bionicle and the Obliterator.
- One of the only 2 Carriers to house a Battleship like fighter: The A - Bionicle, while the other carrier being Hevnetier and it's fighter, the Elanis.
- One of the highest DPS carriers in the game, tied with the Hailstorm and Sakala. (excluding fighters)
- Annihilator's strength is comparable to that of a Super Capital.
- It is the second most expensive ship (that's not a Prototype) in terms of material cost, only beaten by Lucifer.
