The Razor Wing is a Spinal-oriented Battlecruiser well known for its ability to "tackle" larger ships.
Description
The Razor Wing is a Battlecruiser which, unlike most ships, is asymmetrical due to the large wing on its starboard side. It is also quite well known for its ability to take on large ships, making it good for Pirating and base defense.
Appearance
There is a small energy core pillar directly inside from the doorway, as well as a set of six chairs leading to the front cockpit, which itself has a black pilot's seat.
Advantages
- Powerful Spinal weaponry that can deal high burst damage.
- Light turrets help defend against Fighters/Frigates.
- Two or three of these can possibly take on Dreadnoughts, but only if the pilots are "extremely skilled".
- One of the more affordable Battlecruisers.
- Can be used to kill Aliens with little difficulty. Furthermore, it can heavily damage or even bring down an Alien Punisher if it's unprotected by Alien Swarmers.
- Potentially unstoppable in a complex fleet.
Disadvantages
- Low health.
- Vulnerable bottom.
- Very well-known, making Razor Wings a high priority.
- May struggle against ships with high health or with lots of high-accuracy turrets.
- Less Shield Damage.
Strategy
- You can shoot bigger ships with its ridiculously powerful Spinals and hit very small ships with its 2 Flak Cannons.
- Destroy everyone with your Spinal fury, and watch out for ships like the Ampharos and the Tempest, whose arrays of small armaments will make mincemeat out of you.
- Annoy Dreadnoughts whenever you spot one that can't defend against smaller ships.
- Swarming is effective: While one is an annoyance, many are outright deadly.
Version History
- Spinals nerfed in .60(?) to only 4 barrels. 4 Flaks reduced to 2 Flaks and one Cannon.
- Remodeled in .61h1(?).
- Small buff in .64d that added 25 health to each stat, increased turn speed, and raised Cannons to 6 barrels (from 4).
- Nerfed in version .66b - spinal counts reduced to 3 barrels on both the Cannons and Phasers.
- Cargo Hold increased from 150 to 300, both spinal counts increased to 4 barrels in version .68e.
