However, the [[Vansnova]] can dish out a lot of damage without having to constantly aim, as all barrels of the [[Vansnova]]'s [[Spinals]] fire at the same time; unlike the [[Razor Wing]] which fires them one at a time. The [[Vansnova]]'s [[Spinals]] are enough to obliterate [[:Category:Destroyer|Destroyers]] with one shot of both the [[Spinals|Phasers]] and the [[Spinals|Cannons]]! | ||

*[ | *[[Warden]]: The [[Warden]] is a fast and cheap [[:Category:Battleship|Battleship]] With relatively high health and small size, it excels at destroying [[shields]] and [[hull]] equally. | ||

* [[Witch]]: | * [[Witch]]: Fast and very agile for a [[:Category:Battleship|Battleship]]. Its ability to quickly destroy shields with its turrets and to finish them off with its spinals makes it one of the best pirating ships. | ||

*[[Stealth One]] and [[Stealth B-2]] Designed to sneak up on unsuspecting freighters and miners, and destroy them with ease using its Large and Small Torpedoes respectively.

* [[Slipstream]]: | * [[Slipstream]]: Though a [[:Category:Dreadnought|Dreadnought]], it is very fast for a ship of its class. Due to its speed, [[Turrets|Turret]] placement, and firepower, it is perfect for killing ships below its class, and since it has high [[hull]] health, it can dive [[Ships]] near [[Starbase]]s and dodge most of the [[Turrets|Lasers]] due to its speed. | ||
* [[Cyclops]]: Being a [[:Category:Dreadnought|Dreadnought]], it's firepower mainly consists of [[Turrets|Railguns]]. [[Turrets|Railguns]] excel at destroying the hull of a ship. This increases the odds of you getting the final kill on a ship because you deal more damage to a player who's on low health. If paired with a [[Zeus]] there isn't much that can stop it. Due to [[Turrets|Railguns]] having incredibly long-range, it's also possible to snipe [[:Category:Miner|Miners]] that are at the [[Starbase]]. | * [[Cyclops]]: Being a [[:Category:Dreadnought|Dreadnought]], it's firepower mainly consists of [[Turrets|Railguns]].
