Description	A monstrous warship with powerful spinal weaponry, the Armageddon dedicates huge amounts of its energy into its weapon systems. As this takes power away from the shields, the ship's hull has been heavily reinforced.

Description

The Armageddon has the fourth-highest Hull health of any Dreadnought in the game, which makes it a fantastic Hull tank. The main centerpiece of the ship is the orb at the front, which is where the Spinals come from.

Appearance

The interior is a simple but detailed room containing a teleporter from the front of the ship and the pilot's seat.

Advantages

• Has very high overall firepower, being able to destroy ships faster than any other non-Limited or non-Advanced ship, with the exception of Super Capitals.
• Fourth highest Hull health in the class, being beaten by the Slipstream, Atlas, and Blackgate.
• Powerful Spinals that fire very quickly.
• The current cheapest Dreadnought despite the good DPS and health.

Disadvantages

• Large size makes landing hits on it very easy.
• Low maneuverability.
• Very weak Shield health.
• Vulnerable bottom.
• Rather poor turret placing; difficult to fire all of them at once, unless you're pointing directly at your target.
• Poor accuracy leaves it vulnerable to smaller, faster ships.
• Shield damage relies heavily on Spinal aim.
• Hull-breakers like the Ridgebreaker, Leviathan, Hawklight and Borealis can easily destroy this ship, or force it to retreat.

Strategy

• This ship is best suited to fighting similar size ships, as its Large Turrets have low chance of hitting small Ships.
• Make use of the Armageddon's powerful Spinals whenever you get the chance, as you may not win a fight without them.
• Avoid ships such as the Ridgebreaker, Avalon and the Osiris as they have anti-Hull weaponry that can easily shred through the Hull of the Armageddon.
