The Onslaught is a Limited Battleship that is a reconstruction of a Punisher from salvaged parts. Template:Ship Infobox Template

Description

The Onslaught is a battleship that can be bought for 200k Credits from Rev on top of the Portal on the Kneall Portal Base.

Appearance

The ship is a red playable version of the Alien Punisher. There is no interior. There is only a seat below the big bulb.

Advantages

  • Large Cargo Hold for a battleship.
  • Custom rapid firing and long-range laser turrets.
  • 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 9,000 HP.
  • Fast for it's class.

Disadvantages

  • Limited classification means this ship will be targeted often by other players or pirates seeking to destroy high-value ships.
  • Requires good spinal aim to deal effective Hull damage, but any situation where a target can evade the fire from the turrets also leads to poor Shield damage.
  • Costs 200,000 credits, which is expensive (for a battleship); but not as expensive as many other limited battleships or advanced battleships.
  • Huge blind spot under the ship.
  • Inaccurate turrets, especially for the range they have.
  • Relatively weak damage output for a limited battleship, being lower than some normal battleships.

Strategy

  • You should treat the ship as a trophy, because outside of the speed, profile, and long range on the rapid-fire turrets; the ship in most situations is not worth risking over using a marginally less effective normal battleship. However, there are situations where this ship is useful (as seen below).
  • Use the long range of the turrets to support a fleet in bring down the Shields of a Starbase during a siege to preserve your health, then move in closer and use both your turrets and cannons to pummel the base once the shields are down.
  • Chase down and destroy crippled dreadnoughts, that in most cases lack the accurate armament necessary to fend you off.

Version History

  • Implemented in version .75a.

Trivia

  • Within the first 24 hours of it's release, 5 people had lost the Onslaught, those people being poopbudy200, luhmeka, Luigi_isawsome, kaleb2056, and universalboy180.
  • The first person to destroy another ship with the Onslaught was Quanterox, claiming poopbudy200's Onslaught.
