The Retro Prototype X-2 is a Retro Variant of the Prototype X-2.
Description
The Retro Prototype X-2 is a "test dreadnought" based on the Prototype X-2, part of the Retro Ship Event 2023 where you could buy it from the Kneall HarbourMaster in a teleporter on Aqueous II (see picture below).
Appearance
The Retro Prototype X-2 docks with its back facing the starbase. Interior wise, there is a large walkway leading to a seat and a screen, which says nothing.
Advantages
- Long range and fairly accurate Turrets.
- Powerful spinal armament.
- Health is well-balanced and has a very high overall total for a Dreadnought, at 33,000 total HP; making it quite tanky.
- Spinals have 0 second interval, meaning they are fired all at once.
- Large cargo hold will allow you to loot valuable items fairly well from NPC ship wrecks.
- Much more maneuverable than the Retro Prototype X-1.
Disadvantages
- Less durable than the Retro Prototype X-1, and does not have as many turrets as that ship; limiting its long range capacity.
- Extremely valuable target for superior ships such as super capitals, or groups of pirates; thanks to the outrageously expensive cost of 2 million credits as well as being a Limited ship.
- Large blind-spots below, behind, and to the side of the ship.
- Massive size makes this ship a very easy target to hit for even the most inaccurate turrets or pilots with poor spinal aiming capabilities; not to mention Torpedoes.
Strategy
- This is a decent ship for diving battleships and other dreadnoughts when they flee to their base, tank with your health.
- Do not try to move out of the way of Huge Torpedoes with regular ship movement alone, as the ship is too large and too sluggish to dodge them. Instead, warp out of the way of any Huge or Large Torpedoes that you see coming towards you; if you cannot afford to take those hits.
- This ship is heavily targeted due to its expense and limited status, so be considerate of the risks of using the ship in any situation.
Version History
