The Kodiak is a Pirate boss that drops materials necessary to create the ships such as the [[Obliterator]] and [[Nautilus]]. The Kodiak will spawn within a preset 90 minutes limit and now only need one player to be able to spawn; the amount of time that has passed can be viewed via the :roundstats command. The Kodiak is also suspected as being a one-time spawn per server, requiring an endgame faction reset or a complete server restart in order to spawn again. However, some players have also reported seeing multiple Kodiaks within the same server instance. | |||
== Behavior == | |||
As with all boss ships like the [[Decimator]] and [[Galleon]], the Kodiak can call pirate ships to its side for reinforcements. These reinforcement ships can be dangerous at close range but can straggle behind, making them less of a threat until they warp to catch up. | |||
This ship exhibits typical AI behavior, chasing after its targets by warping and moving back and forth in a roughly linear pattern when targets are stationary. Once it locks on and begins firing at its target, it won't stop until the target or itself has been destroyed. | |||
A friendly warning to the community: | |||
The explosion radius is 1500, the 2nd highest in the game tied with both prototypes and the [[Lucifer]] (being behind [[Mothership]] at levels 3-5), be sure to warp far, far away from it to avoid being nuked. | |||
== Loot == | |||
The wreck of the Kodiak contains 1 Quantum Core, 30 Plasma Batteries, and 750 Armor Scraps. | |||
== Strategy == | |||
- This ship's high firepower can destroy even well-armored tanking ships, so a distraction ship such as the [[Draco]] or [[Viper]] is highly recommended. | |||
- The best way to kill a Kodiak is to lure it to a planet and hide behind it so the Kodiak would fire at the player but hits the planet allowing you to kill the Kodiak with ease. | |||
- Warp very far away due to the immensely powerful nuke. | |||

== Trivia == | |||
- A similar ship named the Hijacked Kodiak exists in the game, but its purpose is unknown. | |||
- The Kodiak used to be spawned at Lucifer Station by obtaining an item through the quest Dining In Hell. It had 18,000 Shield and 18,000 Hull and was equipped with 4 Kodiak Lasers and 4 Kodiak Cannons. The Kodiak also had 8 Medium Torpedoes and 4 Huge Phasers as Spinals, similarly to the current version. The Kodiak previously dropped up to 5 Kodiak Armor Plates, a material previously used to create the Kraken. | |||
- Has an admin variant, called the [[Kodiak A]], which has way less HP and smaller hitbox than the Kodiak boss | |||
