Version History

Trivia

  • The previous Nisos model was based off a ship from the game Faster Than Light. Said ship is also known as the Federation Cruiser B.
  • It is also one of the least-known ships in the game, with most players unaware of its existence.
  • Used to be a shield-breaker, but the Turrets were switched for the anti-hull variants. Now it is back to being a shield breaker.
  • The second model was originally meant to be a Warlock remodel. Which explains the similiarities between them.
  • Has unique Spinal sound effects.
