|description = The Theia is a supercapital warship with a heavy emphasis on firepower, designed by Event Horizon Shipyards to complete their trio of supercapitals. This ship sacrifices nearly everything for the sake of weaponry - its shields and hull are comparatively weaker than other ships of similar size, and its mobility is somewhat lacking - but few other ships are capable of bringing this many weapons to bear on a target.

== Description ==
== Description ==
The '''Theia''' is a PVP ship capable of dishing out enormous amounts of damage in a short time with its [[Spinals]] (although it can be used for [[Sieging|Sieges]], it cannot take damage as long as other [[:Category:Super Capital Ship|Super Capitals]]).
The '''Theia''' is a PVP ship capable of dishing out enormous amounts of damage in a short time with its [[Spinals]] and [[Turrets]].
 
The Theia has a [[Ship Modules|module]] "Spinal Array"
== Appearance ==
== Appearance ==
The interior of the '''Theia '''is a rather small but detailed room. When you first enter, it has two Computers that lead to the pilot's seat. It has the same color scheme as other ships by [[Event Horizon|Event Horizon Shipyards]] such as the [[Osiris]], but the interior is not as detailed.
The Theia is an extremely long and slender [[:Category:Super Capital Ship|Super Capital Ship]] that has many defining features including its "Power Core" located visibly in the middle of the ship as a large blue orb and 2 engines accompanying it on the sides. Its long Spinal barrel in the front taking almost 1/3 of the length of the Ship. An extremely large single engine located at the back of the ship almost being as large as its spinal barrel. The overall appearance of this ship makes it look like a large gun with engines attached to it than a ship.
 
The Interior of the Theia is a rather small but detailed room. When you first enter, it has a stairs with two Computers beside that lead to the pilot's seat. Inside the pilot seat room, there is a large black screen with the logo of the [[Event Horizon|Event Horizon Shipyards]] on each end of it citing its Manufacturer. It has the same color scheme as other ships by [[Event Horizon|Event Horizon Shipyards]] such as the [[Osiris]].

== Disadvantages ==
== Disadvantages ==
* Lowest total health out of all Super Capital Ships.
*'''Lowest total health''' out of all [[:Category:Super Capital Ship|Super Capital Ships]], at 55,000 HP.
* Can be difficult to use solo due to the low health for a Super Capital.
*Can be difficult to use alone due to the low health for a Super Capital.
* Difficult to obtain or reobtain due to extremely expensive cost of [[Permits|SC permits]], making it cost from 6~9 million credits.
*Difficult to obtain or re-obtain due to extremely expensive cost of [[Permits|SC permits]].
* A good portion of its DPS relies on Spinal aiming, which can be difficult because of the low maneuverability.
*A little over half of its DPS relies on Spinal aiming, which can be difficult because of the low maneuverability.
*Rather inaccurate turrets are (mostly) incapable of hitting anything smaller than a [[:Category:Battleship|Battleship]].
*Limited effective range with the turrets and low HP for a Super Capital ends up making this ship unsuitable for sieging.
== Strategy ==
== Strategy ==
* Use the ship while solo only if you are confident that you won't die. Always have a fleet with you.
* Use the ship while solo only if you are confident that you won't die. Always have a fleet with you.
* When fighting, stay pointed exactly in line with other Super Capital Ships in fights.
* Make sure to not attack Fleets or [[Starbase]]s without a fleet of your own.
* Use the extremely high firepower of this ship to focus and destroy capital ships like Battleships or Dreadnoughts in ridiculous speeds.
* Pay attention and check the Minimap often to make sure you're not about to be ambushed. Your low health and status as a Super Capital Ship means you must always avoid damage as much as possible.
* It is not a good idea to siege with this ship because of its low health and limited range.
* When fighting, stay pointed exactly in line with other Super Capital Ships in fights so that all your weapons have a line of sight.
* Act as an extra pile of guns and not a flagship. The Theia can do tremendous amounts of damage, but being targeted greatly increases your chances of being destroyed.
* Use the high firepower on this ship to dive and chase down vulnerable or isolated [[:Category:Capital Ship|Capital Ships]].
