Description

The Retro Cyclops is a limited version of the original Cyclops featuring the ship's original model and weapon loadout. Unlike the current version of the Cyclops, the Retro Cyclops is a Siege ship, though it can still do well in PvP.

Interior

The interior of the Retro Cyclops consists of two nice-looking rooms. One room contains four sofas, and the other room contains another four sofas alongside two tables. The pilot's seat is at the front of the 2nd room.

Advantages

• Large, balanced health pool allows it to take a beating from enemy ships.
• Long range Turrets allow it to attack targets from a distance.
• Very high Turret firepower; its high alpha damage (especially towards hull) and relatively low reload speed are a deadly combination.
• Large cargo hold.
• Good overall maneuverability.
• Top mounted Turrets allow it to fire on enemy vessels and starbases from below.
• Small for a Dreadnought.

Disadvantages

• Inaccurate Turrets leave it prone to swarms.
• Vulnerable bottom and rear.
• Its expensive cost and Limited classification make it a huge target for pirates.

Strategy

• Stay under ships as much as possible, letting all your Turrets fire.
• Siege Starbases from afar (8k) with your Heavy Alpha Railguns.
• Use it as you would use an Apocalypse.

Version History

• Hull increased from 4000 to 6900 in version .68e.
• Explosion Size 125 ----> 900 .75a12

Trivia

• Looks very much like the Mothership and is often referred to as a "Mini" Mothership.
• Can capture Aqueous II in 2 minutes and 15 seconds.
• Jeffenator_3000X was the first to lose one to Shad_owLord's Osiris. He rebought it 3 hours later.
