Crucible
The Crucible is a Spinal-focused Destroyer. Template:Ship Infobox Template
Description
The Crucible is a fast Spinal Destroyer that can deal massive damage for its class. It stands out by having a red trail behind it.
Interior
The interior of this ship is very small. With only a small pilot seat and a screen (decal), the ship's interior is entered through a nocollide block at the top.
Advantages
- High Spinal firepower.
- Fast and agile.
- Very good turn speed.
- Small and hard to hit for larger ships.
- High shield for its class.
- Useful in swarms against larger ships.
- Greater than average destroyer health.
Disadvantages
- Low hull health.
- If you can't aim Spinals then you will have a serious problem doing damage to anything.

Strategy
- Hunt for larger targets or in groups as you are very unlikely to be hit by larger turrets.
