==Description==
==Description==
Galleon is mostly brown, with a asteroid that resembles Carbon Ore sticking out on one side.
The '''Galleon''' is a Pirate boss ship. Its model is rotated 90 degrees to have its broadside face opponents at all times. As a result, the front of the ship itself never faces its target, despite having Spinals mounted on its nose. It is still capable of firing them if a target manages to get in front of the nose. It has a large focus on hull health and damage, and is rather powerful against single opponents if it has sufficient support from other Pirates.
== Appearance ==
The '''Galleon''' is mostly brown, with some more metallic coloring for some parts of the ship. It has a massive chunk of ore smashed into its fuselage, with a singular Turret mounted top of it. Its design somewhat resembles mid 20th century American streamlined locomotives and trainsets. Its model is also an Archived, Recolored version of the old [[Armageddon]].

* Stay behind or in front of the Galleon as it is a broadside ship. It is also recommended to use hull breaker ships, as the Galleon is a hull-tank with low shields. alternatively if you want to do it with little effort lure over a Decimator using a Viper it will get the job done for you. If there are few or no other pirates, the Galleon can be destroyed solo with a strong [[:Category:Dreadnought|Dreadnought]] such as the [[Kraken]], a [[:Category:Carrier|Carrier]], or a [[:Category:Super Capital Ship|Super Capital]]  
* Avoid both the nose and the left side of the '''Galleon''' as its [[Spinal Weaponry|Spinals]] are mounted on those parts of the ship. It is also recommended to use hull breaker ships, as it is a hull tank with low shields. If there are few or no other pirates, the Galleon can be easily destroyed with a single long range [[Turrets|Turret]] based ship.
* Avoid using hull-tanking ships for the Galleon, as both the Galleon and other pirates deal high amounts of damage to hull. A high damaging shield tank such as the [[Lazarus]] or [[Obliterator]] is excellent for this purpose but you may still be heavily damaged or even destroyed by a larger fleet if your shields are lost. Do not warp directly to a base, stay at least 8k away from the Galleon and other pirates until it is destroyed, if you are too far it will warp to you and shred your hull.

* If you cannot hide in the Galleon's blindspots, attempt to stay under it where neither its spinals or dorsal turrets can hit you. This is usually futile, as the Galleon can very quickly adjust to your position, but every bit helps.
* Alternatively, It can be brought to a [[Starbase]] or [[:Category:Planets|Planet]] to assist in killing it. This can help remove any other [[Pirates]] as well.
* Alternatively, it can be lured to a starbase/planet or distracted, although it occasionally does not follow baits. This can help remove the rest of the fleet however, as those will warp to you.
*The '''Galleon''' is extremely weak to long range ships such as the [[Judgement]]. Use your [[Turrets]] at a distance, and warp away slightly if it catches up to you. It may take longer, but is effective if your ship can’t last long in heavy fire.

The Galleon is a Pirate AI Dreadnought.

Description

The Galleon is a Pirate boss ship. Its model is rotated 90 degrees to have its broadside face opponents at all times. As a result, the front of the ship itself never faces its target, despite having Spinals mounted on its nose. It is still capable of firing them if a target manages to get in front of the nose. It has a large focus on hull health and damage, and is rather powerful against single opponents if it has sufficient support from other Pirates.

Appearance

The Galleon is mostly brown, with some more metallic coloring for some parts of the ship. It has a massive chunk of ore smashed into its fuselage, with a singular Turret mounted top of it. Its design somewhat resembles mid 20th century American streamlined locomotives and trainsets. Its model is also an Archived, Recolored version of the old Armageddon.

Behavior

The Galleon is a broadside ship and will try to align its broadside to face you. It also will call in Pirate ships, similar to the Kodiak and other pirate bosses. It has a relatively strong nuke, at around 4k studs of blast radius and 1k damage.

It spawns every 70 minutes with no player count limit.

Strategy

  • Avoid both the nose and the left side of the Galleon as its Spinals are mounted on those parts of the ship. It is also recommended to use hull breaker ships, as it is a hull tank with low shields. If there are few or no other pirates, the Galleon can be easily destroyed with a single long range Turret based ship.
  • Avoid using hull-tanking ships to fight the Galleon, as both the it and other Pirates deal high amounts of damage to hull. A high damaging shield tank such as the Lazarus is excellent for this purpose.
  • Alternatively, It can be brought to a Starbase or Planet to assist in killing it. This can help remove any other Pirates as well.
  • The Galleon is extremely weak to long range ships such as the Judgement. Use your Turrets at a distance, and warp away slightly if it catches up to you. It may take longer, but is effective if your ship can’t last long in heavy fire.

Loot

The Galleon drops 6 Plasma Batteries, 150 Armor Scraps, and 1200 Material Scraps. Attacking it solo can give over 30k Credits in combat rewards.
