The Patriot
Limited Ship
This ship is a limited ship, and could only be acquired for a limited time or it has since become limited.
You lose it forever once it is destroyed, or otherwise has limited availability on the Limited Build Menu.
Description
The Patriot is a powerful event dreadnought added during the Fourth of July Event 2023.
Appearance
The Patriot is mostly grey with a few red parts. It has several engines in the rear that are lit up blue and emit a unique blue trail. There is a bridge on the top and two prongs sticking out of the front of the ship.
Interior
The interior is nothing more than a white box with a teleporter and a seat.
Advantages
- High health.
- Decent DPS for a dreadnought.
- Huge cannons allow for quickly finishing off a crippled capital ship.
- Turrets are good at melting away shield.
- Strong against shieldbreakers due to most of the health being hull.
Disadvantages
- Hard to obtain; requires destroying and/or looting at least 2 Outlaws, which can only be spawned by admins.
- Will most likely be targeted due to its limited status and how hard to obtain it is.
- Huge profile means that spinals will easily hit you.
- When destroyed, YOU CANNOT GET IT BACK!
- Requires good spinal aim to effectively deal hull damage.
- Lopsided health means that this ship is weaker toward hullbreaking ships.
- Weak to swarms of small ships.
Strategy
- Use sparingly, as this ship is limited.
- if you have other ships that you can use, treat this one like a trophy.
- Even though this ship is a decent tank, try to attempt to not tank due to the limited nature of this ship.
- If you do tank, know when to warp out.
- Use your total of 12 huge cannons per volley to finish off any crippled enemy ships and possibly steal some kills.
- If an enemy is retreating and is hulled, dive them and finish them off with your cannons. Your large healthpool is most likely enough to survive that along with earning a kill.
- Always travel in a fleet and NEVER alone.
- Warp to dodge spinals instead of relying on ship movement alone.
- Trust few to none.
Version History
- Added in .76d
