NPC Ship

This ship is unobtainable and can only be used by NPCs.

Removed from Game

This content used to be in the game but has since been removed or disabled.

The Scowling is an AI Battlecruiser class ship based on the Nidhogg.

Description

It has a brighter brown-gold color scheme, as opposed to the dark brown coloring of the player-owned Nidhogg. This ship also has more health and firepower than the Nidhogg, likely resulting in its Battlecruiser classification rather than inheriting the Nidhogg's Cruiser classification.

The Scowling has a weaker counterpart in the Jormungand, which now spawns in place of(?) the Scowling, meaning this ship is effectively removed from the game(?).

Interior

This ship does not have an interior

Advantages

  • Strong Hull damage.
  • Above average shield damage.

Disadvantages

  • Weak shields for a Battlecruiser
  • Susceptible to shield tanks due to its reliance on Spinals for Shield damage.

Strategy

  • Use a ship with powerful and accurate Hull-breaking turrets to defeat this ship as it is small and has little shields
