X-0

The X-0 is a Pirate Freighter and Pirate mini-boss. It is a source of loot used in various advanced ships and questlines.

Description

The X-0 is an AI ship that has no weapons whatsoever but can call other pirates on the map to its location.

Only 1 player is required for it to spawn and can spawn in private servers. (Confirmed) Spawns every 120ish minutes. Cooldown is unknown.

Loot

• 10 Plasma Batteries
• 2 Data Archives (Chance)
• 2 Ascension Crystals (Chance)
• 2 Antimatter Shards (Chance)
• 150 Armor Scraps (Chance)

Strategy

• This ship is undefended on its own but can call pirates to its side for reinforcement.
• Can be lured to a max level starbase, but it will require the help of tanking and distracting to take it down, as a pirate fleet deals heavy damage with their spinals.
• Take out any pirate support ships before facing it head-on.
• Explosion size is around 4,000 studs. While not large and unlikely to cripple/destroy most ships, it is recommended to warp out.
• Most dreadnoughts can make quick work of it, however, be aware of the pirate fleet, if any.
• Be aware of how the X-0 is moving away or towards you. If it is destroyed while moving up or down, it can go outside the map and be unlootable. This can be fixed by going in the opposite direction. If it's going up, move downwards, and vice versa.

Behavior

• Moves back and forth similar to other enemies, similar to how the Punisher moves. Also makes "attack runs" by moving towards the player.
• Tends to warp away from enemies constantly, however, usually warps on a target later.
• Calls other pirates to location if an enemy is present, which can include the Kodiak and/or Galleon, which may also call the X-0 to their location.
• Similar to all pirates, chases down (with other pirates) fleeing enemies.

Version History

• Loot nerf: Armor scraps 200 -> 199 (.74b17)
• Loot nerf: Armor scraps 199 -> 150 (Version needed)
• Loot nerf: Plasma batteries 15 -> 10 (Version needed)

Trivia

• This ship appears to use the same AI as all other AI-class ships, as it will "engage" targets and move back and forth away and towards the target in a similar way to the Alien Punisher
• May fall in the red zone and be un-lootable, a major issue to consider when attacking it.
• Uses the model of the D Class, which was formerly the model of the E Class.
• Despite it being a Pirate ship, the cargo containers on the X-0 are blue rather than brown or dark red that corresponds to the faction's color.
