The Crescendo is a recolor of the Hellkeeper boss available to players.

Description

The Crescendo is a pink, dreadnought version of the Hellkeeper featuring an almost identical loadout, with weaker turrets. It excels at shield breaking, and can be obtained only through a quest, which refers to it as "Hollow Vessel".

Interior

The interior is simple, being a purple brick box with a seat, and a sarcastic wall of text commenting on the lack of detail in the interior. The sentence "Welcome to box interior, Halloween special" is a joke referring to the first half of the line appearing in the Halkaryak's interior as well.

Advantages

  • High shield and overall health.
  • Extremely high damage to shield.
  • Very fast for a dreadnought.
  • Surprisingly accurate turrets.
  • Turrets have above-average range.
  • Extremely high explosion radius, the same explosion radius as Deity.

Disadvantages

  • Despite being the only cannon turret, its Ultima is very weak.
  • Lopsided health pool, weighed towards shields.
  • Extremely large target: as large as some super capitals.
  • Turrets are mostly on the top.
  • Very expensive for a dreadnought.
  • It will be targeted as it is a limited ship.
  • All turrets are on top, which makes the ship have a big blind spot below.

Strategy

  • Only use this ship in fleets as it can be destroyed very easily when alone. If you are going to siege a base, make sure not to tank damage due to the loadout of Starbases being primarily shield-based.
  • When fighting another player, prioritize staying above them, where all of your turrets can fire. Retreat when low on shield.
  • Pair up with a Zillavik's or a Ridgebreaker's hull-breaking capabilities to form an unstoppable duo.

Version History

  • Top Speed increased to 100 in version .74b14.

Trivia

  • Despite this being a downsized Hellkeeper, this ship is a dreadnought instead of a super capital.
  • The first person to lose this ship was silenthunter7777 to a Dissonance. However, the ship was bugged, leading to its death.
  • The ship appears to be a very loose reference to Interstella 5555, due to the max hull amount, and also that the name of the band in the film is "The Crescendolls". However, this is unconfirmed.
