== Description ==
 
The '''Avalon''' is a small but powerful [[:Category:Dreadnought|Dreadnought]] that can fire a volley of [[Spinals|Torpedoes]]. Its spinal and turret damage is insanely high if all of them land a hit, but they can be hard to aim. The '''Avalon's '''total health is somewhat lower for its class, making this ship vulnerable and an easy kill for smaller, faster ships.
==Description ==
== Appearance ==
The '''Avalon''' is a small but powerful [[:Category:Dreadnought|Dreadnought]] that can fire a volley of [[Spinals|Torpedoes]]. Its spinals are incredibly deadly if they connect, however they can be hard to hit against faster and/or smaller targets. The '''Avalon's '''total health is very low for its class and it has subpar maneuverability, making it easy to overwhelm this ship with another [[:Category:Dreadnought|Dreadnought]] or even a strong [[:Category:Battleship|Battleship]] such as the [[Nautilus]].
 
It is one of the most popular choices for a siege ship, as its spinals provide an extremely long range and a high damage output. It can also somewhat function as a glass cannon support in PVP, however its low health for its class and poor maneuverability severely limits its potential in ship combat. This Dreadnought is also surprisingly effective at warding off small ships thanks to its multiple [[Turrets|Heavy Point Defence Lasers]] and [[Turrets|Heavy Flak Cannons]].  
== Appearance==
The interior is small but detailed. The player enters through a teleporter at the rear of the ship into a square room inside the ship with a control seat in the rear, with screens surrounding it.

== Advantages ==
== Advantages==
* Very high [[Hull]] damage output, making this ship even better than the [[Ridgebreaker]] at taking down hulled or weakened [[:Category:Capital Ship|Capital Ships]].
*Extremely high hull damage output thanks to the torpedoes, making this ship incredibly effective against hulled ships.
* Small for a Dreadnought.
*[[Spinals|Huge Torpedoes]] have a very high maximum range of 12,000 studs, giving this ship the ability to outrange [[Starbase|Starbases]] (and most ships) by a wide margin.
* Has 3 [[Spinals|Large Torpedoes]], which allow it to out-range [[Starbase]]s by 2k studs if attempting a torpedo siege as well as providing a great amount of hull and shield DPS.
*Very good for pirating large miners and freighters (Prepavaca, Orca, E Class etc.) with its high hull damage.
* Very good for pirating large miners and freighters (Prepavaca, Orca, E Class etc.) with its high hull damage.
*Large cargo hold; especially efficient at looting [[Starbase|Starbases]] right after a successful siege.
* Large Cargo Hold.
* Good overall damage for a [[:Category:Dreadnought|Dreadnought]].
*Good overall damage for a [[:Category:Dreadnought|Dreadnought]].
*Moderately high alpha damage.
*One of the most effective Dreadnoughts for sieging, most of the weapons are long range and deal high amounts of damage.
*Despite being primarily a hull breaker, it still has very respectable shield damage.
*Can solo any level of [[Starbase]] with ease, as long as the base is undefended.
==Disadvantages==
== Disadvantages ==
*Lowest total health of all dreadnoughts excluding the [[SR-71]], which has absurdly low health.
* Fails to destroy defended [[Starbase]]s or [[Ships]] without support.
*Relies on its torpedoes for 2/3 of its total damage output; this, along with the fact that huge-sized torpedoes require a considerable amount of expertise to use effectively, means that inexperienced players will struggle to achieve the full potential of this ship.
* Second lowest health of all Dreadnoughts, with the SR-71 Having the lowest total health.
*Turning and acceleration are rather sluggish.
* Very inaccurate [[Turrets]], making it hard to hit anything with the Heavy Cannons and LR Laser.
*Is on the expensive side for a [[Build Menu|regular]] Dreadnought.
* Turning may be rather sluggish
== Strategy==
* Inexperienced players will have a difficult time aiming the [[Spinal Weaponry|Torpedoes]].
*The '''Avalon''' can be used as a hull breaker to dive hulled ships. However, beware of the ship's low health, as it will not be able to resist damage for long if full diving into a [[Starbase]] and/or enemy fleet. Alternatively, you can try to place yourself out of reach, although hitting the torpedoes will become much harder at a longer range.
*A small blindspot at the back, but this can be fixed by turning the ship upward, a ship small enough to exploit the blindspot will likely die almost instantly.
*Point your ship towards the enemy; this ensures all weapons have a line of sight and can hit the target.
== Strategy ==
*If you're participating in a [[Sieging|siege]], stay at a more distant range where your torpedoes will hit the [[Starbase]] but the base cannot fire back at you. If someone is tanking the base, you can warp in and use your turrets for extra damage.
* The '''Avalon''' should be used as a hull breaker to dive hulled ships. Due to docking mechanics, you won't have a hard time hitting your torpedoes.
* Pay attention and check the [[Minimap]] often to make sure you're not about to be targeted. Your relatively low health means you must always avoid damage.
* The element of surprise is crucial if you want to survive in battle. [[Warp Drive|Warp]] in and fire your Spinals, then Warp out before they react.
* Act as an extra pile of guns and not a flagship. The Avalon can do a lot of damage, but being targeted greatly increases your chances of being destroyed.
* Make sure the ship faces upwards so Turrets and Spinals can hit.
*Encourage your team to bring more Avalons or other ships with torpedoes and at least one support ship for smaller enemies. A torpedo siege is a very effective and straight-forward way to destroy a starbase. If anybody in a large ship tries to defend the base, the siege ships can rip them apart while the support ship takes care of any smaller enemies. In the case of the Avalon, it can also perform as a support ship due to its AA-heavy turret loadout.
* If you're participating in a [[Sieging|Siege]], stay at a more distant range where your torpedoes will hit the [[Starbase]]. If the base is distracted, come closer to use all of your DPS and cause heavy damage.
*
* Pay attention and check the [[Minimap]] often to make sure you're not about to be ambushed. Your relatively low health means you must always avoid damage.

The Avalon is a light, Spinal-focused Dreadnought.


Description

The Avalon is a small but powerful Dreadnought that can fire a volley of Torpedoes. Its spinals are incredibly deadly if they connect, however they can be hard to hit against faster and/or smaller targets. The Avalon's total health is very low for its class and it has subpar maneuverability, making it easy to overwhelm this ship with another Dreadnought or even a strong Battleship such as the Nautilus.

It is one of the most popular choices for a siege ship, as its spinals provide an extremely long range and a high damage output. It can also somewhat function as a glass cannon support in PVP, however its low health for its class and poor maneuverability severely limits its potential in ship combat. This Dreadnought is also surprisingly effective at warding off small ships thanks to its multiple Heavy Point Defence Lasers and Heavy Flak Cannons.

  • Large cargo hold; especially efficient at looting Starbases right after a successful siege.
