The Draco is a small and fast Frigate.

Template:Ship Infobox Template

Description

The Draco is a very fast Frigate that has a limited damage output. It is well known for its speed and its ability to distract ships without high-accuracy defense. It has both Phasers and Cannons, making it effective against Shield and Hull health.

Interior

The Draco has a detailed interior space for a ship its size. Its cockpit has two control joysticks and a screen display in front of the pilot's seat. The seat itself is lacking in detail aside from the angled back and separate colors.

Advantages

Insanely fast frigate.
The speed and shape make it hard to hit, especially for larger ships.
Spinals have a high rate of fire.
Great for distracting a base during a siege.
Faster than the Viper.

Disadvantages

Extremely weak Spinals.
No Turrets.
Minuscule Cargo Hold.

Strategy

Get a large group of these and use them to swarm larger targets.
Use its high fire rate to heavily damage targets.
When diving, fire 2-3 volleys, turn around and repeat to avoid incoming fire and to avoid getting too close to bases.
Use it to distract bases while other big ships are sieging it, or attack ships that are sieging your base.
Avoid ships with a lot of Light Turrets or Gatlings in order to prevent damage.
In dogfighting, keys Q, E, A, & D, your speed, and your tiny spinal weaponry are your friends. Strafe and drift to land more hits on smaller ships.

Version History

Was disabled during parts of version .62 due to model errors.
The Galaxy VIP Gamepass was needed for the Draco, but as of .62b?, the Frigate is no longer limited to VIP players only.
Received a nerf to its Cargo Hold on .65a3.
Received a nerf in .65a? removing 15 speed and halving the total spinal count (two tiny cannons/phasers).
Recolored in version .65b.
Received a remodel in version .67c.

Trivia

The description has various grammatical errors, including the usage of the wrong "its."
There was a short time period after its release in which it required VIP to build. However, after remodeling its VIP was removed.
The new model was programmed with 4 Phasers and 4 Cannons, but an implementation bug forced all 4 of each weapon to fire simuntaneously, appearing as if only 2 of each Spinal were firing.
The Shipmaster Lordmonkeymonkey called out the ship's builder, FangABXY, claiming that he was the cause of the ships bugs; including its remodel making the Frigate tab unusable and its Spinals aiming sideways.
The current model's description was changed almost entirely, changing the species name referenced from Drakodem to Manjin, and speaking more in detail of the exact components of the ship.
Its interior shares the control sticks with the Archangel and Worm.
- Its pilot seat is similar to the Archangel.
There is a Halloween reskin of the Draco, the Dragon.
The Draco's description says it has 4 phasers and 4 cannons, despite having only 2 phasers and 2 cannons because of balance reasons.
