The Onslaught is a Limited Battleship that is a reconstruction of a Punisher from salvaged parts.

Description

The Onslaught is a powerful Kneall-themed battleship. It's Quest requires 15k Silicate, 10k Carbon, 7.5k Iridium, 1k Adamantite, 1k Palladium, 1k Titanium, 1k Quantium, and 1 Punisher Weapon Salvage.

Appearance

The ship is a bright yellow and white playable version of the Alien Punisher's old model. There is no interior. There is only a seat below the big bulb.

Advantages

  • Large Cargo Hold for a battleship.
  • Custom rapid firing laser and railgun turrets gives this ship the highest turret-based damage output of any battleship.
  • High speed and maneuverability for a battleship.
  • Small frontal and rear profile means that any inaccurate armament will have a difficult time hitting the ship, as long as it is pointed towards or away from the attacker.
  • Decently balanced health pool of 19,000 HP.

Disadvantages

  • Limited classification means this ship will be targeted often by other players or pirates seeking to destroy high-value ships.
  • Requires pointing directly at your target for all turrets to have a good line of sight.
  • Costed 200,000 credits, which is expensive (for a battleship); but not as expensive as many other limited battleships or advanced battleships.
  • Effective range is greatly limited by the laser turrets, as they have far less range than the railguns.

Strategy

  • Support a fleet in Sieging a Starbase by utilizing the long range on your turrets, which is enough to keep you out of range of short-ranged weaponry or AA defenses.
  • Chase down and destroy crippled dreadnoughts, that in most cases lack the accurate armament necessary to fend you off.
  • Use the lasers to harass smaller or faster ships (like the Constantine), as they are fairly accurate for the amount of damage they output.
