Retro Leviathan

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 Leviathan is a limited-edition version of the Leviathan that features its original model and armament.

Description

The Retro Leviathan is a limited Dreadnought featuring the Leviathan's original model and armament. Like its modern counterpart, the Retro Leviathan excels at capital ship combat.

Interior

The bridge is composed of a relatively simple room with windows and a singular chair. Before the bridge, there is a short hallway containing multiple seats and a teleporter to the bridge.

Advantages

• Has an overall large and balanced health pool, allowing the ship to take a considerable amount of damage before having to retreat.
• Its large cargo hold allows for a substantial amount of loot to be stored; perfect for pirating.
• The Retro Leviathan has an astonishingly high top speed of 111, which lets it outrun anything in its class except Cyber Leviathan and Slipstream.
• Overall better stats and better spinal firepower than the Leviathan.

Disadvantages

• Very expensive for a Dreadnought.
• Its two Retro Flak Cannons have a very limited fire arc, making them useless against any small ships that avoid them.
• Given that it is limited, you are more likely to be targeted.
• Can't be obtained again if lost.
• Sluggish acceleration, makes for an easy target against ships like the Helios.

Strategy

• Be very careful when using this ship, as it is rather expensive and is limited.
• Its weaponry and large health pool allow it to chase damaged ships very well.

Version History

• Added in Version .66b for the Retro Ship Event.
• Received a buff along with all other retro event ships in .66b shortly after the event ended.

Trivia

• The first player to lose this ship to another player was 2_1q to AlikeBird.
• The first of the three leviathan models.
• There is an admin ship that uses a downscaled version of this without the turrets, called the Baby Leviathan.
