The Gideon is a Turret-focused Cruiser.
Description
The Gideon is a low-cost, turret-focused cruiser with decent speed and maneuverability which makes it a good ship for escorting larger ships and fending off smaller ships such as frigates and fighters.
Appearance
The interior contains a pilot's seat that you will see if you go through the entry door. Behind the pilot's seat, there's a very tiny passage leading to a double-seated sofa allowing you to transport 2 players. In front, there is a screen with "Oblivion" Written on it.
Advantages

- Great ship for new players.
Disadvantages
- Not much in firepower.
- Vulnerable bottom.
- Slower turn speed than most Cruisers.
Strategy

- Harass Miners or Freighters, or other bigger, slower ships.

- Always rotate your ship so that all the weapons can aim at the enemy.
- Good for killing Aliens.
- Try and get underneath enemy ships as most of your Turrets are located on the top of the ship.
