==Description ==
==Description ==
The '''Nyx''' is a large, flat Carrier with a massive health pool and the fourth most [[:Category:Fighters|Fighters]] in the game. Contrary to what many may believe, the '''Nyx''' has decent firepower for a [[:Category:Carrier|Carrier]] but functions leagues better with fighters than without.

Upon entering the bridge you will be teleported to an empty black box with the pilots seat and a teleporter back to the dock. A second teleporter will take players to a small but detailed and well-lit fighter bay which contains 8 [[Nixesion|Nixesions]].

*Large cargo hold. (300)
*Relatively large explosion value of 410 (4.1k stud radius) can easily destroy all smaller ships in range, and even some smaller [[:Category:Capital Ship|capital ships]], provided their health has been sufficiently crippled first.
*The combination of 26k total health and 55% damage resistance means that this ship's health is comparable to a [[:Category:Super Capital Ship|Super Capital]], due to this, it can take the most punishment out of every ship except [[Prometheus]], [[:Category:Super Capital Ship|Super Capitals]], [[:Category:Admin|Admin Ships]], [[Ghoul Nyx]] and [[Retro Nyx]].
*Monstrous explosion value of '''1250''' (12,500 stud radius) can easily destroy all smaller ships in range, and even some smaller [[:Category:Capital Ship|capital ships]], provided their health has been sufficiently crippled first. Not to mention, this has a larger explosion than some [[:Category:Super Capital Ship|super capital]] ships.
*Decent [[Turrets|Turret]] firepower.

*The fighters alone possess incredible combined firepower far exceeding that of the [[Prototype X-2|Prototype X-2]], and the '''Nyx''' has enough turret firepower to defend itself against most ships even without the use of its fighters.

*The [[Borealis]] and [[Prometheus]] were both released as more costly than the Nyx, and were both intended to be stronger than the '''Nyx'''(and all other [[:Category:Carrier|Carriers]]) upon their release, but despite that, the '''Nyx''' has remained the most powerful and reliable non-limited carrier since it was released originally.
