The '''''Antares''''' is a '''[[:Category:Dreadnought|Dreadnought]]''' that was part of the second stage of the [[Christmas Event 2019|2019 Christmas Event]] and was re-introduced in the [[Christmas Event 2022|<span style="color:#aef2fe;text-shadow: 1px 1px 10px #aef2fe;">Christmas Event 2022</span>]]. | |||
==Description== | ==Description== | ||
The '''Antares''' is a | The '''''Antares''''' is a long range and hard hitting [[:Category:Dreadnought|Dreadnought]], just like its little sister [[Aludra]]. | ||
== | |||
The | It excels at obliterating hulled ships with its massive hull-based firepower. | ||
==Advantages== | == Appearance== | ||
* Very high health | The '''Antares''' is long but thin [[:Category:Dreadnought|Dreadnought]] that has a shape that resembles a submarine, with detailing and design extremely similar to its little sister [[Aludra]], with various plating, pipes, and even grills detailed on the ship. On the back has its prominent "Orb" which is its most recognizable feature. | ||
* | |||
* Insane hull damage output, making '''Antares''' an amazing diving ship. | The Interior of the '''Antares''' is a nicely detailed small room with walls covered in ice and a snowflake symbol. On the middle of the room can be found the pilot seat which is facing a screen. | ||
* Slim frame when pointing towards targets making it harder to hit. | == Advantages== | ||
* | *Very high health for a [[:Category:Dreadnought|Dreadnought]]. | ||
*Extremely long range, making it suitable for [[Strategies|Sieging]]. | |||
*Insane hull damage output, at a Hull DPS of 412, making '''Antares''' an amazing diving ship. | |||
*Slim frame when pointing towards targets making it harder to hit. | |||
*High alpha makes it great for diving ships. | |||
==Disadvantages== | ==Disadvantages== | ||
* | *Slow maneuverability. | ||
* | *Large blind-spot at the back of the ship, where there is little to no firepower. | ||
*Struggles engaging against small ships. | |||
* | * Little to no shield-based weapons means it will do little to no damage against shields. | ||
* | == Strategy== | ||
==Strategy== | *Prioritize hulled targets, or ships with hull-based health such as the [[Armageddon]]. | ||
* During a siege, stay out of base range and shoot your [[Spinal Weaponry|Torpedoes]]. | *Use the high firepower on this ship to dive and chase down vulnerable or isolated Capital Ships. | ||
* Use your [[ | *During a siege, stay out of base range and shoot your [[Spinal Weaponry|Torpedoes]]. | ||
* | *Learn how far ahead of your targets you need to fire your torpedoes to hit them, and adjust based on their speed. Torpedoes do a lot of damage and aiming them properly can help you destroy ships much faster. | ||
==Version History== | *Use your high range to your advantage in Sieges. | ||
*It is very hard to take out small ships with this so bring [[Galaxy Terminology|AA]] support with you. | |||
*Bring a shield shredder like the [[Zeus]] or [[Sagittarius]] with you to quickly cripple or destroy enemy capital ships. | |||
