Revision as of 11:02, 15 March 2023

The Apostle is a Destroyer with surprisingly powerful weaponry.

Description

The Apostle is a good pirating ship armed with several Spinals and Turrets. It is also relatively fast for a Destroyer with good hull and shields for its class.

Advantages

Has powerful Spinals for both shield and hull.
Relatively high top speed.
High turn speed.
Despite the ship's description saying it lacks many defensive capabilities, it has high health.
Overall balanced damage between shield and hull (better shield breaking spinals but more hull damaging turrets).

Disadvantages

Very vulnerable to ships with large amounts of Turrets such as the Ampharos.
Has poor turret placement, with turrets on the bottom of the ship.
Vulnerable top side

Strategy

Get a large group of these and use them to swarm larger targets.
Warp near isolated miners and dispatch them as soon as possible.
Avoid approaching an enemy Starbase alone.
Stay above your enemy so your turrets can hit along with your spinals.

Version History

Max Shield reduced from 880 to 800, spinal barrels reduced from 6/3 to 4/2 in version .66b.

Trivia

Oddly enough, the in-game description describes this ship as a glass cannon, but it has more health than some Cruisers.
It has a similar design to the [1] Sith Fighter from the Old Republic Era in the Star Wars lore.
