The Aberrant is a Dreadnought that is part of the Halloween Event 2019.

Description

The Aberrant is a Limited Dreadnought featuring in the Halloween Event 2019, It is the first ship ever to have Bio Accelerator Turrets, which makes this ship unique. It is also the cheapest Dreadnought of the Event.

Interior

The interior consists of a small corridor with a teleporter you enter in, then at the end is a seat with a head piece, this seat controls the ship. The whole interior is made with green neon and black.

Advantages

  • High damage to both Shields and Hull, this being thanks to its 10 Large Phasers, 3 Heavy Bio-Accelerators and 3 Bio-Accelerators.
  • High shield health and decent hull health.
  • Decent mobility for a Dreadnought.

Disadvantages

  • Shield damage depends almost entirely on the Phasers.
  • Will be hunted, due to it being a limited ship.
  • Hard to concentrate all Turrets on the same target due to their placement.
  • Has an unusually large hitbox, making it easier to hit with Turrets and Spinals.

Strategy

  • Use the Spinals to shred the Shields of a ship, then let the Bio-Accelerator Turrets do the rest of Hull damage.
  • Avoid smaller Ships, as your Turrets are not accurate enough to hit them.
  • Use sparingly, as it is costly and will become unobtainable after the event.
