Misc
Description	The UNE had focused too hard for too long on producing smaller scout vessels - ships which could mobilise quickly and cover larger areas - but eventually realised that firepower was still a major part in defending their territory. Subsequently, the Sovereign was commissioned from Event Horizon shipyards. These battleships aren't as fast as the other ships in their fleets, but they pack far more of a punch.

Description

The Sovereign features an array of different Turrets and balanced stats for taking on a variety of ships. Its low maneuverability means it can be exploited by certain blind spots, making it heavily recommended that players be cautious while using this.

Appearance

The interior is a small but detailed box containing the pilot seat and a couple of screens.

Advantages

• Cheap cost compared to other battleships.
• Versatile mix of Turrets.
• Great healthpool, one of the highest for battleships.
• Has many Kinetic Turrets, making it a powerful hull breaker.

Disadvantages

• Tied with the Archeon and Genesis as the second slowest battleship in the game (top speed).
• Vulnerable bottom.
• Must be facing towards the target to use all turrets and spinals.
• Despite having a Larger Spinal than the Hawklight, the Hawklight's Spinals do more damage.
• Lacks shield breaking weapons.
• The combination of a less than ideal turret and spinal armament, below average maneuverability, and inflexible turret line of sight makes for a Battleship that is not only overall bad, but also very weak and easily destroyed by a single skilled Battlecruiser pilot or another Battleship in a 1v1.

Strategy

• Be careful if an agile ship attacks you, as it may be able to outmaneuver your ship.
• If possible, stick to fleets. More often than not your additional firepower will help to destroy enemy fleets and bases.
• Avoid ships that are both versatile and deal heavy damage, such as the Leviathan or Razor Wing.

Version History

• Buffed in version .63a?
• Remodeled in an unknown version.
• Remodeled again in version .66b, and was also buffed, with its shield increasing from 3500 to 4050, it hull from 3000 to 3350, its large cannon spinal becoming 2 large cannons, its 3 light turrets and Medium Laser were removed, being replaced by a Dual Medium Cannon and a Triple Heavy Cannon. Its cargo hold also increased from 250 to 253 as well as its acceleration increasing from 19 to 23.
• Shields reduced to 3700 in version .69a1.
• Explosion size 60 ----> 275 .75a12

Trivia

• Excellent first battleship—its durability allows even inexperienced players escape bad situations.
• The remodeled version was originally meant to be an Hawklight remodel.
• Used to be seen as weak by a lot of players.
• It has the exact same description as the Hawklight
