The '''Nightmare''' is an incredibly fast and highly maneuverable [[:Category:Destroyer|Destroyer]] and the only one equipped with [[Turrets|Auto-Cannons]]. On top of that, its damage profile is balanced out between [[Shields]] and [[Hull]], so it can easily adapt to combating enemy ships. It also can defend against unbalanced ships, and escape easily if all else fails.

==Appearance ==

The '''Nightmare's''' interior is a single black seat when you step into the cockpit.

==Advantages==

*Has special [[Turrets]] that completely shred small ships.

* Amazing DPS for a [[:Category:Destroyer|Destroyer]], being higher than some [[:Category:Dreadnought|Dreadnoughts]].

*Powerful [[Spinals]] for its class.

*Deals balanced damage to [[Shields]] and [[Hull]].

*One of the most expensive [[:Category:Destroyer|Destroyers]] so far at 100,000 credits, 1 ascension crystal and 5 plasma batteries.

*Vulnerable underbelly, but not a major concern for skilled pilots because of the Turn Speed.

*Has a mere 1200 total health, meaning it won't last long under heavy fire.

* Advanced ship; if you lose it, it's gone until it comes back into rotation.

*Can be destroyed with little difficulty by ships with precision weapons.

*This ship excels at dogfighting: due to its Speed and Turn Speed, it can pick at its targets with less risk of taking high damage from the likes of the [[Spectre]] or other [[Spinals|Spinal]]-based ships.

*The '''Nightmare''' is quite literally a "Nightmare" for any stray [[:Category:Miner|Miner]] or [[:Category:Freighter|Freighter]] due to its fantastic agility.

*If a ship with high-accuracy [[Turrets]] starts picking at your health, don't hesitate. Warp to quickly reposition yourself in a weak spot and use your exceptional Turn Speed to stay positioned in this spot.

*Be extremely cautious around ships like the Ampharos, their turrets will easily shred you.

* Always target slow, inaccurate ships. They usually have multiple blind spots and difficulty hitting smaller ships like the '''Nightmare'''.

*Use this ship in swarms to completely obliterate slow ships like most carriers.

* Disabled along with all other [[:Category:Advanced Ship|Advanced Ships]] (previously identified as Artifact Ships) in version .65a (?).

**Re-introduced in the October 2019 [[Shady Dealer|Advanced Ship rotation]].

*Price nerfed to 60k credits and 5 plasma batteries in an unknown version.

*It's one of the few extremely expensive "Advanced Ships" in the game, the others being the [[Atheon]], [[Zhen]], the [[Osiris]], the [[Galaxy]], the [[Helios]], and the [[Imperator]] as of now.

*Has the greatest Turn Speed compared to all other [[ships]] in the game.

*During a while when the '''Nightmare''' was re-released, selling this ship would have given a negative credit value, meaning that you needed to pay to lose the ship. This may also apply to getting it destroyed. This is because the ship had [[Ores and Materials|Debt Tokens]] used in the 'construction'. They were dropped if you wanted to loot one.
