== Description ==
== Description ==
The '''Astraeus''' is a powerful [[:Category:Super Capital Ship|Super Capital Ship]] made for [[Sieging]]. The owner of the ship MUST bring a fleet with them, with the biggest reason being that the '''Astraeus '''being almost unable to fight other PvP ships, especially [[:Category:Frigate|Frigates]] and [[:Category:Cruiser|Cruisers.]]
The '''Astraeus''' is a [[:Category:Super Capital Ship|Super Capital Ship]] made for [[Galaxy Slang|Diving]] ships and [[Sieging]] with its massive [[Galaxy Slang|alpha damage]]. The owner of the ship MUST bring a fleet with them, with the biggest reason being that the '''Astraeus '''being almost unable to hit other ships with a crippling accuracy stat: especially [[:Category:Destroyer|Destroyers]] and [[:Category:Cruiser|Cruisers.]]


== Interior ==
The Astraeus has a [[Ship Modules|module]] "Targeting Supercomputer"
The '''''Astraeus '''''has a very detailed and quite large interior, with a floor made with black hexagons. In the middle of the main interior, there is a 3D map showing the ship and some tiny enemy ships. There are two giant control panels, on each side of the '''Astraeus''' pilot seat. The pilot seat has multiple control panels in front of it.
==Appearance==
The '''Astraeus ''' is one of the largest and widest ships in the game, dwarfing many [[:Category:Dreadnought|Dreadnoughts]] and [[:Category:Carrier|Carriers]]. The ship has similar detailing and design like other [[Event Horizon]] ships and has its logo on each sides of the ship. It has a bridge on the back of the ship, which is small compared to the overall size of the ship. Many of the turrets are one of the largest in-game, such as the Siege Cannons.  


== Advantages ==
The Interior features a large room with the pilot seat elevated in a platform in the middle, and numerous computers around the walls.
* High Alpha damage with long range.
==Advantages==
* High health, especially with [[Shields]].
*Very high alpha damage of 7000+ makes it potent at destroying less durable foes, such as [[:Category:Battleship|battleships]].
* Long range weapons allow it to outrange and snipe many targets, in addition to the Siege Cannons having a massive 8500 range.
*High health, especially with [[Shields]]; which allows it to outlast many other ships in PvP without needing to retreat.
* Good [[Pirating]] ship, Capable insta-killing many miners and freighters.
*Long range weapons allow it to outrange and snipe many targets, in addition to the Siege Cannons having a massive 8500 range.
 
*Okay ship for [[Pirating]], Capable of insta-killing many miners and freighters.
== Disadvantages ==
* Amazing for sieges. The turrets can snipe the base from far enough away to mitigate most of the damage and is capable of destroying most sub-capital to battleship defenders in one salvo if the turrets do not miss.
* Huge blindspot under the ship.
==Disadvantages==
* Very slow turn speed (even though the minimum turn speed is 0.1).
* Huge blind-spots behind and under the ship.
* Long reload speed (which is 25 seconds for every turret it has) makes it hard to hit smaller ships.
*Very slow turn speed.
* Low DPS compared to other [[:Category:Super Capital Ship|Super Capital Ships]].
*Long reload speed and non-ideal accuracy makes it impossible to hit small ships.
 
*Low DPS compared to other [[:Category:Super Capital Ship|Super Capital Ships]] and even strong Dreadnoughts.
== Strategy ==
*Vulnerable to shield breakers.
* Stay between 7000 and 7500 below the base you are attacking in order to hit all your weapons while taking minimal damage in return, as the Heavy LR Lasers and Super Lasers have 7500 range.
* One of the worst ships to attack small ships due to the very long turret reload time and potshot accuracy.
* Try to travel in a fleet as this ship has poor defenses against smaller ships and a terrible reload time. You can still die if you get swarmed. Don't overestimate the HP.
* Can be very easily overwhelmed by smaller, faster ships that focus on shield damage, such as a swarm of [[Sabre Tooth|Sabre Tooths.]]
* Avoid fighting multiple ships that you cannot one shot.
* Despite the high alpha, the long reload time means ships with enough health can quickly charge their warp and escape if you have no support. The reload also makes it so if your turrets miss, the enemy has a relatively long time to attack before attempting to dodge the next volley. Skilled players can estimate when your turrets will fire and warp a short distance, or move into your blindspot.
 
*While the ship is capable of sieging with a great efficiency, it is sometimes (in some cases, significantly) worse at sieging than several other more specialized [[:Category:Siege Ship|siege ships]]; such as the [[Avalon]], [[Hyperion]], [[Kraken]], [[Antares]], and [[Frostpocalypse]]. These ships - while ''(mostly)'' lower in class - outperform the '''Astraeus''' at sieging because of the low damage output.
* Use your turret volley fire starting with laser turrets first to shred your enemy ship's health quickly. Keep in mind that all the turrets take a longer time to reload.
==Strategy==
* Do not fire your weapons unless you have a clear shot at the target.
*As of the shield rework, the Astraeus can now tank an L5 base indefinitely if placed at recommended range.
 
*Stay 7500 studs away from the base you are sieging in order to hit all your weapons while taking minimal damage in return, as the Heavy LR Lasers and Super Lasers have 7500 range.
== Version History ==
*Predict where the warp path of enemies' are and stand in their warp path to volley them while they are mid-warp. Astraeus's turrets are effective against warping ships due to their long range and the fact that warping ships have 0 Speed in turret calculations.
* Added in version .66b.
*Never get your Astraeus hulled, as it has low hull health, and you will be focused.
* Heavy Railgun replaced with Super Laser in version .66c.
*The Astraeus is great for defending against sieges, and the alpha damage can destroy sieging ships in 1-3 vollies usually. Beware of large [[:Category:Carrier|carriers]] that are capable of withstanding your punishment for long enough to significantly damage you with an AI [[:Category:Fighters|fighter]] swarm. If they are supported by a fleet, they are capable of destroying your ship.
* Received a remodel in version .68e  
*'''Do not fire your weapons unless you have a clear shot at the target and your speed relative to the target is as low as possible.'''
* Description changed, Siege Cannons and Super Laser buffed. Siege Cannon count increased to 3 in version .72e1.
*Similar to the [[Judgement]], prioritize performing hit-and-run tactics. Prolonged ship-to-ship combat is not ideal for this ship, as it lacks the damage output needed for sustained close range brawls against other strong [[:Category:Capital Ship|Capital Ships]], multiple [[:Category:Dreadnought|Dreadnoughts]], or a Super Capital with high damage output; such as the [[Hyperion]], [[Theia]], or [[Oblivion]].
* Siege Cannons and Super Lasers buffed again; Super Cannons getting an alpha buff from 1000 to 1806(as well as a range buff to 8500), and Super Lasers an alpha buff from 1000 to 1445 in version .73c10.
*Due to the terrible maneuverability, make sure to be under your target.
 
*Pirating with the Astraeus is very difficult, owing to the slow-moving nature and awareness other players have to Supercapitals.
== Trivia ==
