== Description ==
==Description==
The '''Blizzard''' was a part of the [[Christmas Event 2017]]. It was the first and only [[:Category:Carrier|Carrier]] to have only [[Dragonfly|Dragonflies]] for its [[:Category:Fighters|Fighters]] until they were replaced with its own custom fighters in a later version. The ship was obtained as a reward after completing [[The Ice Monster|The Ice Monster's Quest]], which has since been removed. Once you lose this ship it is gone, '''FOREVER!''' (Unless you lost it to a bug, glitch, or dock-blocking).
The Blizzard is an extremely large [[:Category:Carrier|Carrier]] that carries 4 Unique [[IceFyre]] Fighters.
== Appearance ==
 
Contains a rectangle-like seat that looks out into the front of the ship.
This Ship excels at being a flagship in a fleet due to it's health, firepower, and speed, and the diversity of [[Turrets]] it has, having extremely high turret firepower for a [[:Category:Carrier|Carrier]].
== Advantages ==
==Appearance==
* Obliterates hull with its 8 [[Turrets|Medium Flak Cannons]].
The Blizzard is one of the largest and widest ships in the game, even bigger than some [[:Category:Super Capital Ship|Super Capital Ships.]] and dwarfing every other [[:Category:Carrier|Carriers]] in size.
* Fast [[:Category:Fighters|Fighters]], useful for distracting [[Starbase]] [[Turrets]].
 
* Has no blind spots.
The Ship has a futuristic, snow theme with many, many complex detailings around it. On its back has a large amount of engines, along with 2 extremely large fins around its side, supporting the ship. On the sides can be seen the 2 Hangars with each carrying 2 [[IceFyre]] fighters. On the front has its signature yellow ball, which was a reference to its previous model.
* Can compete with small ships due to lack of blind spots and [[Turrets|Flak Cannons]].
 
* Can stay in maximum turret range with its [[Turrets|Heavy Laser]].
Its interior sports a large room with many icy decorations like icicles on its ceiling. There are 3 Seats, with the middle being the pilot seat.
* Extremely high speed for a [[:Category:Carrier|Carrier]], surpassing almost all other carriers and [[:Category:Dreadnought|Dreadnoughts]].
==Advantages==
== Disadvantages ==
*Large health pool.
* Bad positioning means not all [[Turrets]] can target at once.
*Despite it's size, it is fast with a top speed of {{#cargo_query:tables=ShipData|fields=ShipData.top_speed|where=ShipData._pageName = 'Blizzard'}}
* [[:Category:Fighters|Fighters]] lack strength in health and firepower.
*Has very high firepower for a carrier, allowing it to destroy other large [[:Category:Capital Ship|Capital Ships]] even without the assistance of its fighters.
* Lackluster damage at long range.
*Can support itself very well even without its Fighters.
* Lacks in [[Shields|Shield]] damage.
*Has long range turrets with a range of up to 6800.
* No [[Spinals]].
*Fighters can shred shields from their spinals.
* Limited event ships are often targeted by [[Pirates]]  and are often seen as a prize kill.
*Great for supporting fleets with its high health and large firepower.
== Strategy ==
==Disadvantages==
* Warp in, release [[:Category:Fighters|Fighters]], warp out, and wait until the base is hulled to finish the job.
*Large [[Galaxy Terminology|Blindspots]] underneath and on the back of the ship.
* Make sure you have a team that will listen to you and pilot the [[:Category:Fighters|fighters]].
*Extremely Large, making it very easy to hit with spinals and any turrets.
* If your target is hulled, your [[Turrets|Medium Flak Cannons]] can rapidly finish them off.
*Struggles to fire all turrets at once, unless pointing directly at its target.
== Version History ==
*Limited carrier, making you a large target.
==Strategy==  
*Do not use this ship alone. If you do so, travel with a heavy escort that you can trust.
*When fighting with the Blizzard, try and stay pointed to your opponent so all your turrets have a line of sight.
*If you have to fight, stay below and pointed at the enemy so majority of your turrets can fire, and take down [[Galaxy Slang|AA]] Ships with your turret firepower like the [[Ampharos]] and [[Hyron]] which can shred your [[IceFyre|Fighters]].
*Beware of swarms of small [[Ships]] that can overwhelm the Blizzard.
