The SR-71 is a Limited Stealth Dreadnought released during the Fourth of July 2022 event.

Description

The SR-71 is a stealth ship heavily armed with Medium Torpedoes, and possesses incredible maneuverability. It is obtained via a quest in the top level of the Freedom Base. The ship looks largely similar to its real-life counterpart, the SR-71 "Blackbird," with a thin, tapered fighter jet-like frame, with an antenna on the tip of the nose. Two large turbines are integrated into its wings, with vertical stabilizers rising from the end of each engine. The front of the turbines are capped by inlet spikes, while the rear emits a trail effect, somewhat negating this ship's stealthiness. The ship has a small cockpit where the player sits, with two small pilots' seats and a graphic showing an "ICEE" polar bear and a poorly-drawn rubber duck wearing a tophat, button-down shirt, and bowtie.

The ship can be obtained via a quest in the top portion of the Freedom Base, where Rapidofast will ask players for 600,000 credits and 20 stealth plates to build an "old UNE ship."

Advantages

• The holy grail of spinal firepower compared to all other ships of its class; it packs a serious punch.
• Incredible maneuverability allows it to be capable of evading even point defense turrets.

Disadvantages

• Lowest health out of all dreadnoughts.
• Medium Torpedoes are somewhat slow, which can make it difficult to lead moving targets.
• Limited classification, high price, and somewhat large frame make it a prime target.

Strategy

• Use hit and run tactics, as the ship has high enough alpha damage from the torpedoes to make this a very viable strategy.
• Even with your incredibly high speed, be weary of ships like the Zeus, Tempest, Loyalist, and Ampharos that are equipped with a heavy armament of point-defense turrets with the accuracy to do significant damage if you get too close to them.
• Do not use this alone. However, if you do; take advantage of your stealth as much as possible to avoid being destroyed.

Trivia

• Based off its real-life counterpart, the SR-71 Blackbird.
• Was made for the admin Rapidofast due to his love of the real life plane.
