The balanced health pool of | The '''Catalyst''' is a durable dreadnought with decent weaponry, capable of being a versatile support ship in all situations except against swarms or when fighting small and fast ships. The balanced health pool of 16,000 HP allows it to tank in [[Sieging|sieges]] against a variety of bases, while the heavy-medium armament (being something like an opposite counterpart to the armament seen on the [[Apocalypse]] in terms of damage output) allows it to perform a support role well in PvP combat against other [[:Category:Capital Ship|capital ships]]. However, there are a couple major downsides. One being that the '''Catalyst''' by comparison to other dreadnoughts, has mediocre damage output. The other, is that the ship suffers from sluggish maneuverability; which combined with the relatively poor accuracy on the armament makes it prone to being swarmed, or even harassed by fast [[:Category:Battleship|battleships]]. | ||

The ship is mostly light grey in colour, with some black and neon blue spots here and there. It carries a roughly rectangular array of thrusters in the rear and tapers out to a point in the front, with the ship gradually stepping down in thickness. The turret array reflects this pattern, with the larger capital turrets being set back along the sides of the ship and the medium cannons being lined up along the front and top. The interior is a large white room with red lining. The pilot seat is in the middle of this room, along with three white screens. | The ship is mostly light grey in colour, with some black and neon blue spots here and there.

* Can do long-range support in a siege thanks to its Dual Heavy Railgun and Capital Triple Cannons, but it is not recommended to try to do long-range sieging as you will do abysmal damage without your closer range turrets. | * Can do long-range support in a siege thanks to its Dual Heavy Railgun and Capital Triple Cannons, but it is not recommended to try to do long-range sieging as you will do abysmal damage without your closer range turrets. | ||
* Don't attempt to fight maneuverable or agile ships(including many Battleships) without support, as they can easily get and stay in your blind-spots due to the poor turn speed and size of the ship. | * Don't attempt to fight maneuverable or agile ships(including many Battleships) without support, as they can easily get and stay in your blind-spots due to the poor turn speed and size of the ship. | ||
* If necessary, you can be the tank due to your VERY large health pool. But, do not engage in ship-ship combat, as you will most likely be shredded without doing much damage. | |||
