Description

The Worm is a Wyrm-sized Frigate with two Spinals and a Light Cannon, as well as a Wyrm-sized Cargo Hold. Its in-game description explains that it was specially designed for smugglers, Pirates, and scavengers.

Appearance

The Worm has a small cockpit similar on the outside to the Wyrm. The pilot's seat is always the color of the player's faction. In front of this seat are a red screen and two joystick-like controls, similar to the layout of the Archangel.

Advantages

• High top speed.
• Has both a Cannon and Phaser, making it balanced in terms of Spinal firepower.
• The highest Cargo Hold of any build menu Frigate.
• One of the cheapest Frigates.
• Has higher Shields than the Wyrm, and a total of 10 more health points overall.
• Good for hunting down stray aliens and taking the loot to sell at the Mega Base

Disadvantages

• Low health.
• Spinals deal little damage.
• It has less hull health than the Wyrm.
• Its Turret won't do much damage at all, even if a ship is on Hull.
• Unlike the Wyrm, it cannot see wrecks from far away.
• Vulnerable underside.
• Terrible acceleration, being three times slower than the giant E Class.

Strategy

• Never target ships such as the Ampharos, since they can destroy you easily.
• Use the Worm like a Wyrm but with a little bit of defense.
• Fly in groups to maximize firepower.
• When attacking Miners, you don't have to worry about losing your ship because of how cheap it is.
• Use this ship for Pirating.
• Don't forget that if you shoot another ship before docking at Mega Base, you will be in hostile mode.

Version History

• Received a remodel in .65b
• Cargo Hold nerfed from 250 to 100 in an unknown version.

Trivia

• Has a similar appearance to the Wyrm.
• The Worm’s control sticks have a remarkable resemblance to those on the current Archangel.
• Even though the ship's description claims it was made by putting armor on a Wyrm, the Worm has less hull health than the Wyrm.
