The '''Helios''' is a very fast and hard-hitting [[:Category:Battleship|Battleship.]]
The '''Helios''' is a swift and hard hitting [[:Category:Battleship|Battleship.]]
==Interior==
 
There is a teleport pad, which teleports you to a black room with a pilot's chair which is essentially a nice looking chair in a box.
This ship excels at providing firepower support in fleets and [[Galaxy Terminology|Diving]] Ships with it's high firepower. It is able to effectively evade fire and dish out extreme damage with it's speed and agility in most situations. All these combined, the Helios can be used as a multi-role ship like other [[:Category:Advanced Ship|Advanced Ships]].
==Advantages==
==Appearance ==
The Helios has an extremely flat and [[wikipedia:Crane (bird)|Avian]] shape with wing shapes resembling that of a Crane's. On the front of it can be seen it's main spinal barrel. It has 2 long forks extending out of its 2 main wings. Both edges of the main wing change their color depending on the team's color.
 
The Interior is a black room with a pilot seat and a teleporter leading outside.
== Advantages==
*Very high damage output with its advanced [[Turrets]] and [[Spinal Weaponry|Spinals]] for a [[:Category:Battleship|Battleship]], being higher than most [[:Category:Dreadnought|Dreadnoughts]].
*Very high damage output with its advanced [[Turrets]] and [[Spinal Weaponry|Spinals]] for a [[:Category:Battleship|Battleship]], being higher than most [[:Category:Dreadnought|Dreadnoughts]].
* Fast and flat, allowing for easier dodging and reduced damage when Drifting.
*Fast and flat, allowing for easier dodging and reduced damage when [[Strategies#Drifting|Drifting]].
*Insanely fast for a [[:Category:Battleship|Battleship]], having a top speed of 200.
*Insanely fast and agile for a [[:Category:Battleship|Battleship]], having a top speed of {{#cargo_query:tables=ShipData|fields=ShipData.top_speed|where=ShipData._pageName = 'Helios'}} and {{#cargo_query:tables=ShipData|fields=ShipData.turn_speed|where=ShipData._pageName = 'Helios'}} Turn Speed.
* Large Cargo Hold for a [[:Category:Battleship|Battleship]]
* Large Cargo Hold for a [[:Category:Battleship|Battleship]].
* One of the few ships with 100% [[Strategies#Drifting|Drift]] Percentage.
*Speed, Maneuverability, and Firepower all make up for the Helios' lack of hull integrity.
*Speed, Maneuverability, and Firepower all make up for the Helios' lack of hull integrity.
*Massive hull damage, higher than the [[Ridgebreaker]].
*Massive Shield and Hull damage, equal to the [[Sagittarius]] and the [[Ridgebreaker]].
== Disadvantages==
==Disadvantages==
*Very weak [[Hull]].
*Extremely low [[Hull]].
*Weaker against, and capable of being easily destroyed by shield shredding targets.
*Weaker against, and capable of being easily destroyed by shield shredding targets.
*Requires an alternate form of drifting(known as "vertical drifting") to effectively drift; which may make you an easier target to hit for an opposing pilot with decent [[Spinal Weaponry|Spinal]] aim.
*When the '''Helios''' is not in rotation, you cannot get it again after you lose it until the next rotation. (potentially no longer an issue due to changes in advanced ship mechanics)

* Expensive cost and [[:Category:Advanced Ship|Advanced]] classification makes for a high priority target.

*Don't attack large fleets that can shoot accurately enough to counter your speed.
*Don't attack large fleets that can shoot accurately enough to counter your speed.
*This Ship is good for [[Pirating]] bigger [[:Category:Miner|Miners]] and [[:Category:Freighter|Freighters.]]  
*Always try to hit your spinals, they account for a large portion of your DPS.
*Act as an extra pile of guns and not a flagship. The Helios can do tremendous amounts of damage, but being targeted greatly increases your chances of being destroyed.
*This ship is good for [[Pirating]] bigger [[:Category:Miner|Miners]] and [[:Category:Freighter|Freighters.]]  
*Avoid going too close to a Capital Ship, as you will have a hard time hitting your Spinals and their Turrets will shred you.
*Avoid Shield Breakers such as the [[Zeus]], as they will break your [[Shields]] and destroy you easily.

*Be wary when attacking ships larger than [[:Category:Dreadnought|Dreadnoughts]] as their powerful weaponry could easily tear you apart.

*Warp into fights later, your low health and high hull damage make it a better option for survival and kill stealing.

*Like other Advanced Ships it is extremely effective in swarms. Gather a few more of this ship for extremely devastating DPS capable of quickly destroying almost any normal ship.

*Against fleets, you have a very good chance of being targeted because other players will see you as an advanced [[:Category:Battleship|Battleship]] kill. This could result you being dived even after taking little damage.
