Template:Ship Infobox Template
Description
The Gryphon is a Cruiser with 3 Medium Flak Cannons. It is equipped with very high mobility unseen by many other Cruisers. This ship has a very futuristic design and well-built engines.
Appearance
The Gryphon has a large bay door that opens to the inside of the ship. The main bay contains 12 faction-colored passenger chairs that players can sit in. The pilot's seat is rather small and in an elevated area compared to the rest of the seats.
The side ladder leads to the underside, with a small hallway leading to both ends of the ship. Between them, there is the interior, which has a bunk bed and a computer. There is a chair in front of the computer which you can sit in. Various images can be found on the monitor, and lots of notes can be found in or around the garbage bin next to it.
Advantages
- Spinals are strong against smaller or similarly sized ships.
- High Turret accuracy and range.
- Good health and mobility, a rare combo for a Cruiser.
- Hard-counters most Ships ranging from Frigates to Cruisers.
- Great damage output for a Cruiser.
- Balanced damaged against both Shields and Hull.
Disadvantages
- Very large for a Cruiser.
- Awkwardly placed Spinals make it hard to hit smaller ships up close.
- Out-gunned by higher class ships.
- Relies on spinals for shield damage.
Strategy
- Gather a fleet of Gryphons and chase down fleeing ships for easy kills.
- Don't engage in a head-to-head fight with Battlecruisers and up, instead strafe around them or fight in numbers.
- Use your agility to attack Frigates, Destroyers and other Cruisers using your Medium Flak Cannons to chip their health.
Version History
- In version .65a6, its Dual Gatlings were replaced by Medium Flaks.

Trivia
