Description	The Vigilance-class is a broadside heavy battlecruiser built to take on ships of its own size and even threaten capitals. Whilst its low manoeuvrability and unorthodox weapon layout make it difficult to consistently use all of the ship's offensive power, it shows the potential to hit harder than ships whole classes above it.

Description

The Vigilance is a large Battlecruiser that focuses on broadside weaponry.

Interior

The interior is very basic, having a seat and various plain-looking neon control panels. It is rather small and is barely tall enough for the player to stand in.

Advantages

• Cheap for a battlecruiser.
• High health for its class.
• The broadside-oriented loadout makes it effective in combat, especially against larger ships.
• Its two Medium Railguns can target enemies from long distances.
• The broadside spinals can deal high amounts of damage if used correctly.
• High shield DPS for a Battlecruiser.

Disadvantages

• Pathetic Maneuverability and Acceleration, leading to the backside being highly vulnerable.
• Its broadside profile makes it an easy target for Spinals.
• Slow for its class.
• Rather low Hull damage.
• Currently has no pilot's seat.
• A little expensive for a starter.

Strategy

• Use it as a support ship in Siege battles.
• Do not go head to head with a smaller more maneuverable ship like a Fighter, as your slow maneuverability will leave you at a disadvantage.
• Just like both the Osiris and Behemoth, attack broadside for all your weapons to hit your enemy.

Version History

• Shield was buffed from 0 to 1250 in version .65b after it was added.
• Broadside spinals added in version .66b
• Turn Speed increased from 0.2 to 0.3, and Acceleration increased from 10 to 12.5 in version .75a5.
• Spinal interval decreased from 0.1 -> 0 (all spinals shoot simultaneously) .75a12

Trivia

• Looked like a mini Armageddon before the Armageddon was remodeled.
• Its Turrets are placed for a broadside position to work best when firing at a target.
• the ship is some times thought to look like a Train.
• This ship somewhat resembles the Galleon
