Limited Ship

This ship is a limited ship, and could only be acquired for a limited time or it has since become limited.
You lose it forever once it is destroyed, or otherwise has limited availability on the Limited Build Menu.

The Coal Wasp is a Limited Event version of the Wasp known for its incredible speed.

Description

The Coal Wasp is a Limited Event ship, a reskin of the Wasp.

The exterior is black and the boosters in the back are white. It is equipped with one Coal Mining Laser, just like a normal Wasp. It also has a unique part texture in honor of the "Coal" theme.

You could only get this ship by asking a Galaxy Admin on Christmas during the Christmas Event 2017.

Appearance

Like the Wasp, the Coal Wasp has little interior.

Advantages

Extremely high Top Speed, currently one the fastest non-admin ships in the game, maxing out at 500.
Hard to hit.

Disadvantages

2nd lowest health of any ship ever in Galaxy, with 30 total health, only behind Kodiak A with 2 total health; one hit FROM ALMOST ANYTHING and it's over.
Could only be obtained once via Admins.
Players wanting a prize kill will consider this a priority target, as it is now unobtainable and under 100 or so still exist.
Dies instantly to a small amount of Aliens, which usually target Miners.
The Turn Speed is low compared to its Top Speed, making the handling of the Coal Wasp somewhat awkward.
Virtually useless; it's nothing more than a nice trophy ship.

Strategy

Treat this ship like a trophy. NEVER use it or sell it, unless you have a VIP Server and want to show it off.
Ask someone if they wanted coal for Christmas. They'll love this piece of coal.

Version History

Added in Update .60a.
Received a buff in Update .60d that boosted Top Speed from 175 to 500.
Warp Drive added in version .61h1?
Top Speed nerfed from 500 to the maximum top speed in an unknown version (500 > 400 > 380)
Put on the "Limited Editions (Permit)" build menu on version .73a3, now also requiring a Class E Permit.
Shields/Hull increased from 5/5 to 15/15, ore hold increased from 5 to 1000, small mining laser replaced with coal mining laser in version .73b3.

Trivia

Galaxy Admins would give players this along with the Festive Wasp on Christmas Day during the Christmas Event 2017.
This ship is considered a meme because of its insane Top Speed (of 380), and extremely low total health (30).
One of the few limited event ships available for only one day including the Festive Wasp, 2018 Ship (surprise Raffle ship on Discord), and the United States of Razor.
Gatling Turrets are the only Turrets in the game that won't one-shot this ship.
Was one of the only ships without a Warp Drive for the longest time after its release, although it eventually obtained one alongside every other miner-class ship in version .61h1?
