'''The explosion radius is 1500 or 15,000 studs, the 2nd highest in the game tied with both prototypes and the [[Lucifer]] (being behind [[Mothership]] at levels 3-5), be sure to warp far, far away from it to avoid being nuked, as anything within that radius will likely be destroyed. The safest option is warping roughly 15k from the explosion, but most [[:Category:Dreadnought|Dreadnoughts]] can survive closer ranges without difficulty. Keep in mind that the damage increases greatly the closer you are to the explosion.''' | '''The explosion radius is 1500 or 15,000 studs, the 2nd highest in the game tied with both prototypes and the [[Lucifer]] (being behind [[Mothership]] at levels 3-5), be sure to warp far, far away from it to avoid being nuked, as anything within that radius will likely be destroyed.

Kodiak's nuke damage is '''exactly 7500'''. Warp more than 15k away from Kodiak when Kodiak is dying if you are not able to survive that amount of damage. | Kodiak's nuke damage is '''exactly 7500''' at point-blank range to an E Class (12% damage resistance) at full shield. Warp more than 15k away from Kodiak when Kodiak is dying if you are not able to survive that amount of damage. It is also worth noting that a full health E Class is able to face tank a Kodiak nuke. So don't be afraid to vulture by tanking the explosion if you know you won't be dived afterwards. | ||

*This ship's high firepower can destroy even well-armored tanking ships extremely quickly at close range, so a distraction ship such as the [[Draco]] or [[Viper]] is highly recommended. - One way to kill a Kodiak is to lure it to a [[:Category:Starbase|Starbase]] such as [[Mothership]] or a [[:Category:Planets|Planet]] such as an upgraded [[Frion I]] and fly around it 5k studs from Kodiak so the Kodiak would fire at the player but misses allowing the Planet/Starbase to kill the Kodiak with ease. | *This ship's high firepower can destroy even well-armored tanking ships extremely quickly at close range, so a distraction ship such as the [[Draco]] or [[Viper]] is highly recommended. - One way to kill a Kodiak is to lure it to a [[:Category:Starbase|Starbase]] such as [[Mothership]] or a [[:Category:Planets|Planet]] such as an upgraded [[Frion I]] and fly around it 5k studs from Kodiak so the Kodiak would fire at the player but misses allowing the Planet/Starbase to kill the Kodiak with ease. | ||
