The '''Punisher''' fits between the player ship classifications of [https://roblox-galaxy-official.fandom.com/wiki/Category:Battleship Battleship] and [https://roblox-galaxy-official.fandom.com/wiki/Category:Dreadnought Dreadnought]. It has considerable health and firepower and is almost never seen alone. It poses a significant threat to undefended ships, [[Starbase|Starbases]], and inexperienced players. It is mostly black with a few areas highlighted in neon green. | The '''Punisher''' fits between the player ship classifications of [https://roblox-galaxy-official.fandom.com/wiki/Category:Battleship Battleship] and [https://roblox-galaxy-official.fandom.com/wiki/Category:Dreadnought Dreadnought].

Much like the [[Swarmer]], '''Punishers''' will maneuver to a range of 3K to 5K studs away from their targets and will move back and forth along that range.

They may also attempt to out speed attacking ships to stay out of player [[Turrets|Turret]] range. Additionally, '''Punishers''' initiating an attack will '''"call"''' all other [[Aliens]] in the server to their location, creating incredibly powerful fleets. The only warning to these gatherings is a small period of time in which all Alien ships will ''turn towards the attacking '''Punisher''''', which can be seen on the [[Minimap]]. In version .58a, the '''Punisher''' AI received an update that causes them to chase down crippled attacking ships with less than 30% health remaining. Following the appearance of [[Decimator]], the Punisher can also "'''call'''" the entire fleet around the map to destroy player's starship or Starbase. | ||

Despite their rather low chance of spawning, '''Punishers''' are not that rare a sight. Attack these with caution; use either a [[:Category:Dreadnought|Dreadnought]] or a fleet of [[:Category:Battleship|Battleships]] and/or [[:Category:Battlecruiser|Battlecruisers]]. It is also helpful to lure '''Punishers''' closer to armed bases to deal even more damage. Skilled players have been able to solo them without [[Starbase]] help using [[:Category:Battleship|Battleships]]. Some extremely skilled players can solo them without the help of [[Starbase]] firepower in only a [[:Category:Battlecruiser|Battlecruiser]] or [[:Category:Cruiser|Cruiser]]. Be sure to take out other aliens that is not a Punisher so that when it calls for reinforcements, it will not be able to receive any backup because they were destroyed. Prioritize taking out Punisher before other reinforcements arrive as the Punisher will often act as a Command Ship. If the player is outnumbered and outgunned, practically when there is a Decimator and far outside the Starbase, escape is the first priority and do not let the Punisher gave chase. | Despite their rather low chance of spawning, '''Punishers''' are not that rare a sight.

* In version .73c8(?), the [[Turrets|Medium Alien Railgun]] turrets were significantly nerfed; they lost their Alien classification and were defaulted to standard medium railguns. This caused the '''Punisher''' and the [[Decimator]] to become laughably weak ships compared to what they were before. | * In version .73c8(?), the [[Turrets|Medium Alien Railgun]] turrets were significantly nerfed; they lost their Alien classification and were defaulted to standard medium railguns.
