The '''Prototype X-1''' is a massive, expensive ship that was available for a limited time during Galaxy's Beta stage, now being on rotation.
The '''Prototype X-1''' is an incredibly sturdy, sluggish, expensive, massive, and hard-hitting flagship. It is able to wipe out some [[:Category:Battleship|Battleships]] in a single volley with all its weapons, but by comparison to its [[Hull]] damage output; the ship struggles to do effective damage to [[Shields]]. It also suffers from poor base and tracking accuracy on its Colossus turrets, making hitting moving Battleships (or some of the faster [[:Category:PVP Ship|PvP]] [[:Category:Dreadnought|Dreadnoughts]] for that matter) from a large distance rather difficult. However, it possesses long range on its Colossus turrets (7,500 studs) allowing it to out-range many ships, and [[Sieging|siege]] [[Starbase|Starbases]] fairly well; with the added benefit of the Bombardment cannons having a range of 5,000 studs, as well being effective against swarms. Overall: this ship is rather powerful, but compared to the [[Prototype X-2]]; has much weaker damage output, considerably slower, and larger.


To get this ship you needed to accept a [[:Category:Quest|Quest]], pay 6,000,000 [[Credits]] and bring a [[Ores and Materials|Weapon Part]] to the [[Shady Dealer]] on [[Myriad III]] (Must be fully upgraded to level 3).
This ship was originally obtainable via quests from various places during the Beta phase of the game, however it is currently only available when the ship is put in the Limited Build Menu, which is a rare occurrence.

The interior of the '''Prototype X-1 '''is the exact same as the previous [[Genesis]] model, with a short but detailed hall that leads to a small room containing the pilot's seat.

Overall: this ship is rather powerful, but compared to the [[Prototype X-2]]; has much weaker damage output, is considerably more sluggish, and is considerably larger. When considering the purchase of a [[:Category:Prototype|Prototype]]-class warship, decide if it is better to have something that is durable, shreds Hull, and can throw hard-hitting punches from long range while having decent defenses against swarms (this ship), or a pinnacle of an anti-capital flagship designed to chase down and destroy other [[:Category:Capital Ship|Capital Ships]] quickly with extremely high damage output and decent maneuverability for the size, but with not nearly as much durability or hard hitting long-range weaponry (The [[Prototype X-2]]). It is also worth noting that Prototype X-1 has vastly superior diving capabilities than X-2, with incredible hull alpha damage and much higher hp to tank with, its very likely that Prototype X-1 can finish any crippled target within 1 volley.
