The Theseus is a Quest Dreadnought released during the 2023 Halloween Event (the Rift arriving again).

Description

The Theseus is a ship capable of entering the Rift, purpose built to be upgradable and made to withstand significant punishment from enemy ships within the Rift. It comes with a unique "Hull Booster" module, that heals its hull HP rapidly over a short period of time if the shields are down, along with a good variety of weaponry for destroying medium to large ships.

Advantages

  • Can be upgraded through a series of quests after being obtained, starting with the armor upgrade that increases the ship's health (Theseus-U) all the way to a substantial upgrade to the ship's module Theseus-X.
  • Can resist to an extent, hull damage when its module is active with the healing that provides.
  • High damage output on its weapons makes dealing with enemy capital ships within the Rift easier.
  • High HP allows you to tank for your squadron while doing excursions within the Rift.

Disadvantages

  • Somewhat expensive to obtain for the first time.
  • Not very flexible line of sight on the turrets, preferring that you face your targets if you wish to have full line of sight.
  • Ship module only heals hull HP while your shields are down, and does not heal shield HP.
  • Not enough range on its turrets to sustain effective long-range combat.

Strategy

  • While doing excursions within the Rift, help out your other squadron members if they have weaker ships by tanking some damage for them.
  • If using the ship outside of the Rift, be mindful that the range on your turrets is around 5000 studs, and cannot accommodate any sort of long-range combat; and be aware that your ship is a fairly valuable target.

Version History

  • Released in unknown version.

Trivia

  • This ship line is similar to the Preos (i.e. Preos Adult, Preos Juvenile) series of ships, but different in that upgrades through the quests do not allow you to keep the previous ship, as they take the current ship you have.
