Leviathan
The Leviathan is a Dreadnought class ship, the first of its kind to be added to Galaxy.
Description
The once (and still) infamous Leviathan features a sleek design and excellent PvP capabilities to boot.
Appearance
The interior of the Leviathan is a small room containing little more than the pilot's seat and the teleporter leading in and out.
Advantages
- Fantastic at PvP against Battleships and other Dreadnoughts.
- Large variety of well-placed Turrets.
- High Hull damage. Excels at countering the Slipstream and Armageddon as well as finishing off crippled Capital Ships.
- Very fast and maneuverable for a Dreadnought, only slower than the Slipstream, and its limited Cyber Leviathan and Retro Leviathan counterparts.
- Much better at exploiting weak spots than most Dreadnoughts.
Disadvantages
- Mediocre Sieging capabilities.
- Smaller Ships are a huge nuisance if the pilot isn't highly skilled or backed up by their team.
- Only 2 Turrets on the underbelly, creating a weak spot which small ships can (and most definitely will) exploit.
- Lesser Cargo Hold for a Dreadnought.
- Somewhat expensive, at 252,444 credits.
- Although good for PvP, stay away from other PvP ships like the Andromeda as it's superior firepower can easily tear you apart despite it being more fragile.
Strategy
- The Leviathan is an excellent PVP Ship. The Turret layout and maneuverability make it difficult for other large ships to stay behind you, so use this as an advantage against other opposing ships.
- Its Maneuverability is best used for countering larger ships like Battleships and slow Dreadnoughts.
- In a Siege, always get into the Starbase's weak spots (when partial firepower is at use) or help destroy any defenders.
- Use your quick turn speed and speed to your advantage to make sure ships do not go under you.
- Do not waste your spinals, more than half of your hull DPS comes from them.
