Paragon
The Paragon is a quest dreadnought made by the U.N.E. It is known for it's extremely fast speed and high damage.
Description
The Paragon is a unique Dreadnought, it boasts the fastest speed in it's class, and very high firepower, although less than other Quest Dreadnoughts.
Appearance
The Paragon looks somewhat similar to the Galaxy, with it's long front end and four engines in the back. The Paragon also takes on a traditional U.N.E. aesthetic, with few curves and angular design.
Advantages
- High DPS for a Dreadnought.
- Good balance between Shield and Hull damage.
- Very high speed, higher even than the Slipstream.
- Custom drift of 100%, allowing for very effective drifting, something unheard of for any other Dreadnought
Disadvantages
- Expensive, needing an upfront cost of 500,000 credits and lots of ores. Also require a special part that is only obtainable through doing enough damage to the Kneall Stronghold, which can often be hard to do. This also makes it a target to many players.
- Lower DPS than other high-powered Dreadnoughts, such as the Obliterator and Kraken.
- Low health for it's class, with less overall health than others such as the Leviathan.
Strategy
