Description

The Crystocrene is a winter-themed Battleship added in version .69f after the Antares Comet collided with Aqueous II. The quest to obtain it can be found on the planet by finding a red sphere in the snowman cave.

Appearance

A small room with moderate detail. The pilot seat is sat up a set stairs surrounded by purple monitors with blue and red projectors. Along the sides of the room are piles of ice and a teleporter in the back of the room.

Advantages

• High Shield health.
• Armed with 2 Triple Heavy Quantum Lasers, which is a rather unusual, but powerful laser armament on a Battleship.
• High Hull damage.
• Overall good health and damage output for a Battleship.
• Good spinals.
• Good at sieging due to having 4 Icy Artillery Cannons, and 4 Large Torpedoes.
• Flex a limited hidden quest battleship in Christmas 2020 event.
• Decent health pool.

Disadvantages

• Somewhat slow.
• Hull damage isn't as high as Shield damage.
• Currently unavailable, so if you lose this ship you can't get it back.
• As a Limited ship, it is a large target.

Strategy

• Stay away from Shield-breakers as the Crystocrene is easy to kill without its Shields.
• Focus on unshielded targets to deal the most damage.
