The Galleon is | 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. | ||

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. | ||

* | * 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. | ||

*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. | |||

*Galleon destruction can be a useful way of earning credits, since Plasma Batteries can be used for Uranium at the Mega Base, or for [[Credits]] at both the [[Mega Base]] and [[Pyramus]]. 500 Armor Scraps can be turned in for 75000 credits. Depending on how much damage you deal you may get a good amount of Combat Rewards as well. | *Galleon destruction can be a useful way of earning credits, since Plasma Batteries can be used for Uranium at the Mega Base, or for [[Credits]] at both the [[Mega Base]] and [[Pyramus]]. 500 Armor Scraps can be turned in for 75000 credits.
