Limited Ship
This ship is a limited ship, and could only be acquired for a limited time or it has since become limited.
You lose it forever once it is destroyed, or otherwise has limited availability on the Limited Build Menu.
The Retro Hawklight is a limited-edition version of the Hawklight that features its 2nd generation model and armament.
Description
This limited ship is one of the first models of the widely loved Hawklight. It features a weapon loadout similar to the original's and proves to be a very strong PVP ship just like its normal counterpart.
Appearance
The interior of the Retro Hawklight is rather mundane; it is composed of a single room with the pilot seat at the front and a very similar looking seat in addition to a blank screen at the back right corner of the area.
Advantages
- Powerful hull breaking Spinals.

- Expensive for a Battleship.
- The underside is a weakspot; only 1 Turret is positioned under the ship.
- Slightly problematic turret placement.
Strategy
- Warp under your opponents as almost all of the turrets are on top of the ship.
- Exploit bigger ships' blindspots with your superior mobility.
- Use this ship's Spinals to finish off crippled targets.
- Be careful when using this ship as it will be seen as a valuable target. Avoid extensively tanking damage and retreat if needed.
