| '''''Aliens''''' are one of two enemy AI Factions in the game, the other being the [[Pirates]]. Any ships affiliated with the Alien faction will attack any ship or [[:Category:Starbase|Starbase]]/[[:Category:Planets|Planets]] that is not their same faction on sight, at a minimum of 13,000 studs away from them. They can also attack the enemy AI faction [[Pirates]]. | | '''''Aliens''''' are one of two enemy AI Factions in the game, the other being the [[Pirates]].

| | |
| All of the alien ships currently in the game are made and used by the [[Kneall]].

| *Small alien ships spawn in groups of 3-5 at random locations on the map.
| |
| *Large alien ships spawn alone at random locations with the exception of the [[Decimator]], which instead, spawns at the top of the [[Mega Base]].
| |
| *Recent updates have limited the number of '''Alien''' ships that can spawn in one server to 20, but they can still build up considerable groups with enough firepower to destroy even the strongest [[Starbase]]s.
| |
| *Alien ships that are [[:Category:Battleship|Battleship]]-class or larger have the ability to call all aliens currently in the map to their aid, and can target [[:Category:Starbase|Starbases]] and [[:Category:Planets|Planets]]

| ==Planet Capturing ==
| |
| [[Punisher]]s, [[Decimator|Decimators]] and [[Kneall Bionicle|Kneall Bionicles]] can command alien fleets to capture and assimilate [[:Category:Planets|Planets]] just like player factions, and can cause a server shutdown if it targets (and destroys) [[Mega Base]]. Although other aliens don't target the planet when they come to close proximity, when the mentioned ships calls the aliens on the map to assist them to attack a planet, they will.
| |
| | |
| Once a Planet is captured, it will have a bright green color in the Map along with the current territory it's occupied with. Aliens targeting the planet when it was captured may linger at planets after taking control instead of warping away, making it difficult to retake the planet.
| |
| | |
| If the planet is heavily defended by '''Aliens''' and/or upgraded, a single [[:Category:Dreadnought|Dreadnought]] may not be enough to take it back. It may take more than one faction's limit of Dreadnoughts and multiple sieges to take back a heavily defended Planet taken by a spawned Kneall Fleet.
| |
| ==Strategy==
| |
| '''Swarmer'''
| |
| | |
| The [[Swarmer]] is the weakest Alien [[Ships|ship]] compared to other non-event Aliens that spawn in the game, armed with one tiny [[Turrets|laser]]. The best ways to destroy this ship are with a [[:Category:Destroyer|Destroyer]], such as the [[Chimera]], or any other ship with light or high-accuracy turrets. Swarmers provide minimal loot unless destroyed in large numbers.
| |
| | |
| '''Bruiser'''
| |
| | |
| The [[Kneall Bruiser|Bruiser]] is very slow for an alien, coming in at 79 top speed, but it is armed with two tiny [[Turrets|lasers]] instead of one, however, it is somewhat easy to kill due to being slow, just note the backward-firing spinals.
| |
| | |
| '''Outrider'''
| |
| | |
| The [[Outrider]] is virtually a Bruiser with significantly more health, more speed, and a [[Turrets|Railgun]] included also, however; the spinals are same as the bruiser, except they aren't backward-firing, similar Bruiser killing strategies can be used for this one.
| |
| | |
| '''Punisher'''
| |
| | |
| The [[Punisher]] is very powerful when paired with other aliens, it is not recommended to kill it first if you are using a weak [[:Category:Battleship|Battleship]] or below, as it has accurate, rapid firing turrets. It is recommended to fight the Punisher either above or below it as it will lose half of it's turret firepower due to turrets being distributed on the bottom and top.
| |
| | |
| Unlike weaker alien ships, The [[Punisher]] can call for aid when engaging and enemy and will siege starbases or planets until it has captured/destroyed the target planet.
| |
| | |
| '''Decimator'''
| |
| | |
| The [[Decimator]] is virtually a Punisher except it is much slower, bigger, tankier, and stronger; it is much more powerful when paired with a Punisher and more aliens. You can exploit it's blind spot on it's back and it's AI will turn on it's back when it's close enough to you, losing over half of it's firepower. The Decimator can call other alien ships to it's aid and will attack starbases/planets when near them.
| |
| | |
| '''Bionicle'''
| |
| | |
| The [[Kneall Bionicle]] is a powerful alien [[:Category:Battleship|Battleship]] that is slower than the Punisher, but more powerful in terms of firepower due to it having access to [[Spinal Weaponry]]. Just like the Decimator, it's AI will turn on it's back and move away once it gets close enough, losing firepower and can be exploited. The Bionicle can call other alien ships to it's aid and will attack starbases/planets when near them.
| |
| ==Version History==
| |
| Version .65b saw the introduction of four new Alien ships; the [[Outrider]], [[Kneall Bruiser|Bruiser]], [[Kneall Scout|Scout]], and [[Kneall Prototype]], said to be a weaker [[Prototype X-2]]. These ships, along with the original two aliens ([[Swarmer]] and [[Punisher]]) were able to be spawned at Myriad III when fully upgraded.
| |
| | |
| Version .67c Gave the [[Bruiser]], the [[Outrider]] and the Kneall Scout can now spawn in the map.
| |
| | |
| Version .69b saw the [[Halloween Event 2020|Halloween 2020 Event]], The Aliens were changed for the duration of the event to [[Alien Serv|Servs]], [[Alien Scourge|Scourges]], and much more. Once the event ended, the [[Kneall Scout|Scout]] was permanently removed from the game. Previously, the ships had the word "Kneall" in front of them, making their full name "Alien Kneall Bruiser." The Outrider and Bruiser were recently changed to just say "Alien Bruiser," marking their faction and their ship name.
| |
| | |
| Version .69e saw the introduction of the Alien ship, the [[Decimator]]. This ship spawns after a certain amount of time has passed. It has the highest amount of health out of all aliens that can spawn in the game, making it a formidable enemy. It can also call other aliens to its aid, like the Punisher. The [[Judgement]]'s build menu description mentioned it over a year ago, but it was only recently added. It's power is comparable to a [[Rift Guardian]].
| |
| | |
| Version .75a10 saw the [[Kneall event]], Which introduced alien starbases such as the [[Devastator]] and the Kneall Outpost which will be removed for the conclusion of the event. This event also introduced the [[Kneall Bionicle]] which was an identical counterpart to the player-ownable [[:Category:Battleship|Battleship]], The [[Bionicle]].
| |
| ==Trivia==
| |
| *Most Alien ships have a purple trail.
| |
| *It is possible for '''Aliens''' to assimilate a [[Starbase]].
| |
| *'''Aliens''' and [[Pirates]] will fight each other.
| |
| *Interestingly, the [[MRLS Launcher]]'s engines resemble that of Alien ships.
| |
| *A full alien swarm should not be underestimated, A [[Punisher]], [[Decimator]] and all the other Alien ships can even force a [[Lucifer]] to retreat.
| |
| *Since the gatling update, all aliens have gatling Turrets, making the server quite laggy during swarm.
| |
| *'''Aliens''' are actively hunted by [[United Nations of Earth|U.N.E.]] ships.
| |
| *The [[Decimator]] is the only alien ship with a different icon color than all other non-event aliens.
| |
| *The Decimator does not have its faction name in its name, making it seen as "Decimator" in game.
