The Zodiac is an alien-like cruiser that is powerful for its class.

Description

The Zodiac is a dark navy, box-like ship with blue neon lights outlining its features. It is the only regular build menu ship that requires Alien Parts to build, however has a strong loadout that also has surprisingly long range. It bears a strong aesthetic resemblance to precursor ships like the Astaroth and Azreal, while maintaining a style similar to conventional ships.

Advantages

• Turrets have long range of 6650 studs.
• High alpha damage.
• Very cheap, considering its strength.
• Somewhat accurate turrets, especially against slower moving targets.
• High total health pool.
• Good damage to both hull and shield.
• Decent speed.

Disadvantages

• Horrendous acceleration.
• Hard to hit small ships from a long range.
• Requires Alien Parts to build.
• Turrets have long reload time.
• Main source of shield damage requires good spinal aim.

Strategy

• Plays much more like a battlecruiser than a cruiser.
• Use in swarms against larger ships for greater damage.
• Pair up with a shield-breaker to maximize your combat effectiveness.
• Get to max speed before warping into a fight so you don't take damage while accelerating.
• Take advantage of the long range on your turrets to keep out of the thick of firefights that could be hazardous to this ship.

Version History

• No logged changes (?)

Trivia

• Has the Vanguard Coalition logo on the side of the engine.
• The only non-limited/advanced cruiser to have custom turrets.
  • Due to the blue color scheme and precursor resemblance, the turret models are sometimes mistaken for the ones on the Azreal.
