Apostle

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.
