Description

The Retro Hercules is a limited version of the Hercules, featuring its original model.

Interior

• The Retro Hercules has an interior where you are greeted by a cargo deck with a few crates and a teleporter in the rear, where you are then teleported to an upper deck with the pilot's seat/computer and passenger seats

Advantages

• Extremely high turn speed for it's size, being faster than most other ships overall.
• 9,000 overall health, combined with the high speed makes it hard to kill compared to most freighters.
• Is surprisingly easy to dock, allowing for quick trading runs and escape from most pirates.
• Can act as a passenger ship if ever necessary due large amounts of seats.
• Second largest cargo ship of all player ships in-game.

Disadvantages

• Very, very expensive.
• Limited, so you cannot get it back once lost.
• Can be seen as a trophy kill to pirates due to its expensive cost and being a Limited kill.
• Awful cargo hold size relative to the cost by today's standards.

Strategy

• Only use when not in war, if used at all.
• Make sure to see that area you are heading to is all clear.
• If you do decide to use it during war, use its high speed to quickly dock at the Mega Base before any pirates can get to you.
• Although the Retro Hercules has turrets, it is recommended to use them sparingly, as their damage output is unlikely to deal significant damage.

Version History

• Added in .66b, along with the Retro Ship Event 2019.
• Received a buff along with all other retro event ships in version .66b shortly after the event ended.
• Received a buff cargo 6500 to 8500 and received 2 "Anti-Vulture" turrets.

Trivia

• 3 Wasps (if not more) are able to fit inside the Retro Hercules.
• This ship is the original model of the Hercules freighter.
• The trail of this ship is made from Roblox fire particles, so they do not render when the camera is farther away.
• This ship had its own unique turrets likely-humorously named "Anti-Vulture" turrets using the model of early medium lasers.
