 The '''Black Scarab''' has a semi-full interior that contains a passageway to and from the AA guns and the entrance, leading up into the helm of the ship. The helm of the ship is very basic with wood paneling, a seat, and a steering column that overlooks the front of the ship.
 ==Advantages==
-*One of the fastest [[:Category:Dreadnought|Dreadnoughts]] in the whole game at a whopping top speed of 220.
+*One of the fastest [[:Category:Dreadnought|Dreadnoughts]] in the game at a whopping top speed of 220.
-*Turn Speed equivalent to the [[Andromeda]].
+*High speed combined with above-average health make this ship very resilient against powerful but inaccurate [[turrets]] such as those of most [[:Category:Super Capital Ship|Super-capitals]].
-*Its both its [[Turrets|Pirate AAs & Pirate PDLs]] can easily fend off smaller ships.
+*Very high maneuverability for its class.
-*The [[Turrets]] do massive damage to shields; relatively short cooldown with great accuracy.
+*Both its [[Turrets|Pirate AAs & Pirate PDLs]] can easily fend off smaller ships, having quick reloads and great accuracy.
-*Amazing overall [[Shields|shield]] DPS of 425
+*<s>Your enemies will be jealous of your sweet pirate-ship.</s>
-*Good total DPS of 329 combined (239 turret dps and 90 spinal dps).
 ==Disadvantages==
-*Very expensive.
+*Very expensive, costing a [[Permits|C permit]] when in rotation.
-*Even though a level 14 warehouse is required, you'll need to obtain 500 Gamma Pumpkins and 5 Void Pumpkins.
+*Cannot be obtained when out of rotation.
+*Mediocre DPS for a [[:Category:Limited|Limited]] [[:Category:Dreadnought|Dreadnought]], or even a [[Build Menu|build menu]] dread, lower even than some build menu [[:Category:Battleship|Battleships]].
 *This ship has a very large blind spot underneath, which small ships are going to exploit.
-*<s>The [[Turrets|Pirate AAs]] only have 3000 range, so small ships can use their small profile at a long range to avoid shots.</s>
+*Smallest cargo hold out of all [[:Category:Dreadnought|Dreadnoughts]], at a very meagre 3.
-*The positioning of the camera is very odd: the farthest behind you can look is about 3/4s of the way to the back of the ship; the smokestacks will often block a straight-on view making it hard to warp and orient for combat.
+*Firing all the [[turrets]] at once requires the ship to be below its opponent or tilted downward relative to it, making it a larger target.
-*Smallest cargo hold out of all [[:Category:Dreadnought|Dreadnoughts]], with only a meagre 3.
-*Firing all [[Turrets]] at once requires the ship to be in a very awkward position.
 ==Strategy==
-*This ship is best used when broadsiding or from firing below to allow the usage of all turrets. Despite it having 4 [[Spinal Weaponry|Huge Phasers]], they don't fit the playstyle of the ship well.
+*Position yourself below your enemies to allow usage of all the turrets.
-*Best used as a support/AA due to the mere speed of this ship combined with the very accurate guns that can hit up to 7k away.
+*Best used as a support/AA due to the high speed of this ship combined with the very accurate guns that can hit up to 7k away.
+*Don't use this ship alone. The combination of low DPS and limited availability make you a major target.
+*When facing larger opponents, maintain speed and distance to dodge enemy fire and stay in your opponents blindspots.
 ==Version History==
 *Added teleporters in version .69d
 *Explosion Size 250 ----> 850 .75a12

 ==Trivia==
 *The total DPS of this ship used to surpass both the [[Prototype X-1]] and [[Prototype X-2|X-2]] pre super-capital rerelease update.
 *The only [[:Category:Dreadnought|Dreadnought]] to resemble a boat more than a spaceship.
 *Literally a Dreadnought [[Aedes]] according to Revy.
