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 Spiderblade is an old, redesigned version of the original Starblade made for the Halloween Event 2017.

Not to be confused with the normally buildable Spider Frigate-Class Ship.

Description

The Spiderblade is a cheap Event Ship from the Halloween Event 2017 and was put back on sale during the Black Friday 2019 sale.

Appearance

This ship has no interior, just a single seat on top of the spider.

Advantages

Highest health for a frigate, comparable to some Cruisers.
The Torpedoes can deal a whopping 1000 damage if they both hit (not including damage resistance).
Phasers have a very high rate of fire.
Can easily aim at large ships.
It has twice the amount of Shields compared to the original Starblade.
It has Small Phasers compared to the Starblade's Tiny Phasers.
It has two Small Torpedoes instead of the single Small Torpedo of the original Starblade.
Very high spinal damage output for a frigate, comparable to some Battlecruisers.

Disadvantages

No Turrets.
Phasers deal low damage.
Slow for a Frigate.
Slow Turn Speed.
Many players will want to destroy you since it's a limited Ship.

Strategy

Treat this like a trophy; Do not ever use it or spawn it. Only spawn it to show off to others. If you do spawn it, try to spawn it at the Mega Base so it can't be damaged. If you want to use it in combat, be prepared to lose it.

Version History

A second Small Torpedo was added in an unknown version.
Shield and Hull increased from 500/250 to 950/550, Torpedoes increased in size from Small to Medium in version .65b.
Was put back on sale for a limited time during the Black Friday 2019 sale.
