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.

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 poor accuracy.

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.
