Latest revision as of 18:09, 12 January 2024

Not to be confused with the Nixesion, a fighter from the Nyx.

The Nyxesion is a Fighter unique to the Retro Nyx.

Description

The Nyxesion uses the old model of the Nixesion, however it has modified stats compared to the mentioned ship.

Appearance

The Nyxesion is a small fighter that bears a resemblance to the Dragonfly, with 4 wings on the back.

Like all fighter class ships, the Nyxesion has little in the way of an Interior.

Advantages

Spinal DPS of 102 can lead to a monstrous DPS of 1160 when all fighters are used.
Like with most fighters, small size.
Balanced Shield and Hull firepower.
Easy to control since it moves slow enough for the pilot to react.
A couple of Nyxesions can destroy a Level 1, 2 and even a level 3 or 4 Starbase if undefended.
Effective when used to swarm large Battleships, Dreadnoughts, and Carriers.
Just 2-3 can deal more damage than most Dreadnoughts

Disadvantages

Somewhat slow for a fighter, still faster than the Nixesion though.
Can be shot down easily by Light Turrets.
No Turrets.

Strategy

Group together with your other Nyxesions, as all 12 in a swarm can bring as much destruction as a Prototype ship.
Focus on swarming and destroying AA ships like the Ampharos or Hyron first, as they will shred you if left alone.
Use the ship's high maneuverability to get into the blind spots of larger ships and deal heavy spinal damage.

Version History

Added to the game on version .73a3 along with the carrier that contains these ships.
Name changed from Retro Nixesion to Nyxesion in version .75a1.
Cannon and Phaser intervals changed from 0.15 --> 0.20 in an unknown version

Trivia

Has the most fighter count in a single carrier in the game at 12, tied with Bonehawks.
Has an even older model older than it's current model, which the Spirit also uses.

Nyxesion's first model
