The '''Prototype X-2''' is the largest of all [[Aliens|Alien]] ships seen in Galaxy and was formerly acquired by players for 5 million credits, an [[Alien Computer|Alien Device]], and a weapon part. (The X-2 was originally priced at 2 million credits). Players had to first find the [[Kneall Harbor Master]] to be able to buy this ship. | The '''Prototype X-2''' is the largest of all [[Aliens|Alien]] ships seen in Galaxy and was formerly acquired by players for 5 million credits, an [[Alien Computer|Alien Device]], and a weapon part.

The '''Prototype X-2''' is a [[:Category:PVP Ship|PvP]] [[:Category:Prototype|Prototype]]-class flagship, designed specifically to do one thing: Destroy other [[:Category:Capital Ship|Capital Ships]] as quickly as possible. It achieves this through having [[Turrets]] with incredibly high damage output, powerful [[Spinal Weaponry]], a smaller profile (compared to its other Prototype-class counterpart which will be mentioned in a moment), and decent maneuverability. However, this ship has considerably less range, significantly less alpha damage, lacks good defenses against swarms, and has significantly lower health (difference of 6,600 HP) compared to the [[Prototype X-1]]. Additionally, like all Prototype-class warships; the ambience may attract unwanted attention. In general, this ship is extraordinarily effective against other Capital Ships, but also has some glaring weaknesses. When considering the purchase of a Prototype-class warship, carefully consider what type of Prototype you intend to purchase and use. This ship is at the pinnacle of player-ownable anti-Capital Ship capabilities, with damage output that is enough to easily destroy another [[:Category:Super Capital Ship|Super Capital]] provided you have a sufficiently powerful fleet supporting you... While the Prototype X-1 is a durable, hard-hitting, long-range, and equally as versatile capabilities (in its own way) with behemoth-sized (with appropriately high damage and range) [[Turrets|Colossus Lasers and Cannons]] as well as [[Turrets|Bombardment Cannons]] that act as dual-purpose anti-swarm/anti-Capital Ship flak cannons; a ship meant to act primarily as a [[:Category:Siege Ship|Siege Ship]], while also being able to decisively destroy other Capital Ships with little support needed most of the time (especially if their [[Shields]] are down). | The '''Prototype X-2''' is a [[:Category:PVP Ship|PvP]] [[:Category:Prototype|Prototype]]-class flagship, designed specifically to do one thing: Destroy other [[:Category:Capital Ship|Capital Ships]] as quickly as possible.
