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 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.

Interior

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

• Very high Hull damage output, making this ship even better than the Ridgebreaker at taking down hulled or weakened Capital Ships.
• Small for a Dreadnought.
• Has Medium Torpedoes, which allow it to just out-range Starbases 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

Disadvantages

• Fails to destroy defended Starbases or Ships without support.
• Tied with the Andromeda for the lowest total health of all Dreadnoughts.
• Very inaccurate Turrets, making it hard to hit anything with the Heavy Cannons and LR Laser.
• Expensive for a dreadnought due to the large amount of Cargo Hold
• Turning may be rather sluggish
• Inexperienced players will have a difficult time aiming the Torpedoes.

Strategy

• 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.
• Keep your eyes on the map. A swarm of Battlecruisers or a fast Battleship could end you.
• The element of surprise is crucial if you want to survive in battle. Warp in and fire your Spinals, then Warp out before they react.
• Make sure the ship faces upwards so Turrets and Spinals can hit.
• If you're participating in a Siege, stay around 10000 studs from the base. That way, your Torpedoes will still chip away at a Starbase and its Shields or rip apart Hull unhindered by most Turrets.
• Stay on your toes and keep moving at all times to reduce the likelihood of incoming damage.
