Description	The Patriot-class is one of the earliest UNE-developed dreadnoughts. Even predating the Judgement-class, the reason it is scarcely seen is because the UNE abandoned it before it was widely produced, due to the development of more cost-efficient alternatives. Unfortunately, this antiquated weapon of war seems to have made its way into some.... unfavourable hands, lately.

Description

The Patriot is a powerful event dreadnought added during the Fourth of July Event 2023.

Appearance

The Patriot is mostly grey with a few red parts. It has several engines in the rear that are lit up blue and emit a unique blue trail. There is a bridge on the top and two prongs sticking out of the front of the ship.

Interior

The interior is nothing more than a white box with a teleporter and a seat.

Advantages

• High health.
• Decent DPS for a dreadnought.
• Huge cannons allow for quickly finishing off a crippled capital ship.
• Turrets are good at melting away shield.
• Strong against shieldbreakers due to most of the health being hull.

Disadvantages

• Hard to obtain; requires destroying and/or looting at least 2 Outlaws, which can only be spawned by admins.
• Will most likely be targeted due to its limited status and how hard to obtain it is.
• Huge profile means that spinals will easily hit you.
• When destroyed, YOU CANNOT GET IT BACK!
• Requires good spinal aim to effectively deal hull damage.
• Lopsided health means that this ship is weaker toward hullbreaking ships.
• Weak to swarms of small ships.

Strategy

• Use sparingly, as this ship is limited.
• if you have other ships that you can use, treat this one like a trophy.
• Even though this ship is a decent tank, try to attempt to not tank due to the limited nature of this ship.
• If you do tank, know when to warp out.
• Use your total of 12 huge cannons per volley to finish off any crippled enemy ships and possibly steal some kills.
• If an enemy is retreating and is hulled, dive them and finish them off with your cannons. Your large healthpool is most likely enough to survive that along with earning a kill.
• Always travel in a fleet and NEVER alone.
• Warp to dodge spinals instead of relying on ship movement alone.
• Trust few to none.

Version History

• Added in .76d
