==Description== | ==Description== | ||
The '''Solstice''' is an Avellian [[:Category:Battleship|Battleship]] based off the Christmas Event 2021 [[:Category:Alien|Alien]] NPC, [[Cranefly]]. Its armed to the teeth with railgun turrets that will tear apart the hull of most ships, and equipped with balanced spinal firepower to retain effective shield damage output. | |||
==Interior== | ==Interior== | ||
The interior is a box, with a red pilot seat. | |||
==Advantages== | ==Advantages== | ||
* Great kinetic turret armament allows you to shred the hull of crippled ships, while the spinals support the low shield damage output. | |||
* Very few blind-spots. | |||
* Unusual profile can make it difficult for Large or Huge-sized [[Turrets]] to hit you. | |||
* Good cargo hold. | |||
* Decent health pool. | |||
==Disadvantages== | ==Disadvantages== | ||
* Limited classification means it will be targeted very often. | |||
* Railgun focused turret armament means accuracy issues, especially with the Avellian Spike-L turrets which possess multiple barrels. | |||
* Unbalanced health (4250/3000). | |||
* Sluggish maneuverability compared to some other Battleships. | |||
* Almost as expensive as a [[Ridgebreaker]]. | |||
* Mediocre shield damage. | |||
==Strategy== | ==Strategy== | ||
* Do not use this ship in a battle unless you are sure your ship won't be at risk of being destroyed. | |||
* '''Avoid''' shield breakers like the [[Zeus]], [[Warden]], and [[Sagittarius]]. | |||
* Do not sustain heavy fire; if you do, retreat to your nearest own or allied base. | |||
==Version History== | ==Version History== | ||
* | * Got a box interior in version .75a1; The seat was previously on top of the ship. | ||
* Turret line of sight fixed, and spinals heavily nerfed: 8 Large Cannons un-multigunned and merged into a single barrel of 4 Medium Cannons and 4 Medium Phasers(resulting in a large reduction to hull damage output), in version .75a1. | |||
*Explosion size 250 ----> 510 .75a12 | |||
==Trivia== | ==Trivia== | ||
* This ship was a part of the Christmas 2021 Avellian Fleet, as the [[Cranefly]]. | |||
* Resembles a Caracal or Cerberus from EVE Online | |||
