Deity

Super Capital Ship

This ship is classified as a Super Capital. It is one of the most powerful Capital Ships in the game.

The Deity is one of the nine Super Capital Ships in the game. It is a serious threat to other large ships.

Description

The Deity is a rather fast and agile Super Capital Ship, despite its large size. It is capable of dishing out large amounts of damage.

Appearance

The interior of the Deity is a rather large room that contains a small staircase leading up to the pilot's seat. In front of the pilot's seat is a teleporter which leads to a hidden room.

Advantages

• Faster and has a better turn speed than most Dreadnoughts.
• Has a turn speed as good as some Battleships.
• Turrets have a good line of sight, especially when under targets.
• Has high health and excellent mobility for it's class.
• Has high turret-based firepower.
• It out speeds all the build menu dreadnoughts except Leviathan and Slipstream.
• Has a toaster shrine.
• You don’t have to worry about aiming the spinals, because it has none.

Disadvantages

• No Spinals.
• No Turrets underneath the ship, making it an easy target for swarms of smaller ships(this doesn't really matter much however, as this ship is very maneuverable).
• Hard to hit small ships with this ship.
• Like most large ships, it has a lot of surface area where it can be easily shot. This is somewhat balanced by the relatively high speed of this ship.

Strategy

• Never travel alone unless you are absolutely certain you will not lose it.
• Keep large ships in your line of fire by taking advantage of your quick speed and good maneuverability.
• When fighting against large ships such as other Super Capitals or Dreadnoughts, take advantage of your superior mobility and warp underneath them.
• This ship is great at diving, so use that to your advantage.
