Advantages

• Balanced DPS, a combination of cannon Spinals and high damage Turrets.
• Has high total health compared to other Battleships.
• Great mobility for a Battleship.
• Easily shreds any Battleship and can take on some Dreadnoughts if the pilot is skilled enough.

Disadvantages

• Extremely expensive for a Battleship, costing 500,000+ credits if every material is bought from the Mega Base.
• Uranium takes up a lot of warehouse space (12K).

Strategy

• Be careful when using this ship, especially during war, as it is a limited ship, and you cannot get it back if you lose it.
• Use the turrets to shred the shield of an opponent, and then focus on spinals once the target is hulled.

Version History

• Taken offsale in version ???
• Both spinals received an additional Large Cannon (for a total of 3 Large Cannons per spinal) in version .72e1

Trivia

• Added as a "secret" that requires a quest to build.
• The Nautilus is one of only 2 ships in the game to have both an (F) and (G) spinal that are the both the same and front facing (the other ship with this attribute being the Coldfront).
