The Belvat is a shuttle-like Battlecruiser with a Torpedo.
Description
Despite it having a Torpedo, the Belvat is not well suited for sieges. Instead, it is a PvP ship focused on Spinal weapons. It also has unique bottom-mounted Turrets on its wings. The Belvat is a good hit and run ship against enemy Battleships, Miners, some Dreadnoughts, and Freighters.
Appearance
The Belvat's interior consists of a simple hallway behind the cockpit that acts as a teleporter and the cockpit itself. Inside the cockpit is a small neon display and a decorated pilot's seat.
Advantages
- It has high firepower from its Phasers and Torpedo.
- Good for taking out Fighters, Frigates, and Swarmers.
- Well defended bottom.
Disadvantages
- Easily countered by itself with another Battlecruiser.
- Vulnerable topside.
- If you approach from above, all the Turrets can hit, but it also gives enemy ships an advantage since the majority of their weapons can likely fire upwards and hit you.
- Slow Torpedo, making it ineffective against small ships or anything moving too quickly.
- Hard to aim Torpedoes.
- Low health.
Strategy
- Some players prefer this over the Razor Wing due to it being less common and not well known. It can also support more roles than the Razor Wing. (i.e.: Siege)
- Attack from above/below to try and get the jump on other Ships before they can realize where you are.
- During a siege, use the Torpedo against static or slow targets, like bases and Dreadnoughts.
Version History
- It used to use an odd wield script resulting in offset parts. It was later fixed in the Version .52 update.
- Remodeled in the continuation of version .65b.
- Phaser count reduced from 5 to 3, interval increased by .2 seconds in version .66b
Trivia
- Prior to version .69d1, it was one of the four Battlecruisers that did not require a gamepass to use in Galaxy Arcade.
- Its current model resembles that of a Quinjet, a transportation jet used by the Avengers.
- If you think about it, the Belvat is basically a very cheap Zhen.
