Nyxesion
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
