Phantom

From Galaxypedia

The Phantom is cheap Destroyer with powerful shield damage.

Description

The Phantom usually is chosen as a secondary starter ship over the Corvid. It is good for staying at the side of ships or going on top of ships because its Turret placement works poorly when chasing ships, or when exploiting blind spots. It has two Medium Phasers which can make up for the poor turret placement. The Phantom also has a health pool of 1150, with 900 Shield and 250 Hull.

Appearance

The interior of the Phantom is surprisingly complex for a Destroyer. Upon entering, you will be greeted with three chairs in front of you. On your right, a terminal encrypted with odd messages and such.

At the cockpit, there is another terminal with a blank screen and the driver's chair.
