The Atlas is an oddly-shaped Limited Dreadnought.

Description

The Atlas is a large Dreadnought primarily based around sieging. Its most notable characteristic is the USSR emblem on the sides of this ship. It features two stubby prongs on the left and right front sides of the ship, with the rest of the main body being bulbous and roughly hexagonal in shape. Its turrets are lined up largely along the top and sides, making a front-downwards angle most effective in combat.

Interior

The interior of the Atlas is well shaped with a large room containing a seat surrounded by a large screen set up. Above the teleporter and directly behind the captain's seat is the communist insignia the sickle and hammer.

Advantages

  • Many long range Turrets.
  • Very few true blind spots (defined as unable to fire in a certain area), and the true ones are easily countered by raising or dropping the ship's nose.
  • Very high hull health, coupled with decent shield health.
  • Decent DPS.

Disadvantages

  • Inaccurate thanks to the large turrets and misses almost every single time against small ships.
  • Sluggish maneuverability.

Strategy

  • Always try to have a multi-ship escort because of its weakness in PvP.
  • Avoid small ships such as Frigates or Destroyers, as they are hard to hit sometimes and can destroy you easily.
  • Don't use this against hull-breaker ships, as they will destroy your hull quickly.
