The Paragon looks somewhat similar to the [[Galaxy]], with it's long front end and four engines in the back. Overall, the aesthetic of the Paragon is similar to other [[U.N.E|U.N.E.]] ships, such as the [[Prototype X-1]], the [[Venerator]] and the [[Judgement]]. It's coloration is made up mainly of grey, with silver and blue accents. Like other [[U.N.E|U.N.E.]] ships, it features very little team colouration, which can be seen on the paragon as the only team colour is on the tips of its [[Turrets|U.N.E. Heavy Missle Launchers.]] | The Paragon looks somewhat similar to the [[Galaxy]], with it's long front end and four engines in the back.

* Has a somewhat flat profile like the [[Helios]], making this ship difficult for enemies to hit while it is facing them. | |||
* Relatively long range on its [[Turrets|turrets]] allows this ship to be a good support ship in [[Sieging|sieges]], especially since the Dual Autocannons are suitable for shooting down significantly smaller ships than itself, being [[Turrets#Flak_Cannons|flak turrets]]. | |||

* Unlike its smaller counterparts with similar characteristics (including, but not limited to: the [[Zhen]], [[Nightmare]], [[Atheon]], [[Hallow]], and [[Helios]]), this ship has a fairly significantly large size as it is a Dreadnought, thus its flat profile is not as effective at reducing incoming damage as much as them. | |||
