Theseus-U
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.
The Theseus-U is a U.N.E Quest Dreadnought released during the Halloween Event 2023.
Description
The Theseus-U is a ship capable of entering the Rift, purpose built to be upgradable and made to withstand significant punishment from enemy ships within the Rift. It comes with a unique module that heals its hull HP rapidly over a short period of time if the shields are down, or heals shields if the hull is full. The Theseus also comes with a good variety of weaponry for destroying medium to large ships. It is part of a ship line, which is as follows: Theseus, Theseus-U, Theseus-E, Theseus-K, and finally Theseus-X. The Theseus-U has improved health over it's previous model, the Theseus.
Appearance
The ship's profile is well defined, aside from it being clad in turrets. Its engines protrude from the back of the hull and form a flat segment protected by hull shielding around the top and bottom to both the left and right side. The plating is a dark grey or lighter black color, which covers the majority of the hull; and is not affected by team colors. It has a spinal mount at the front between two prongs, which is where its spinals are located (more to be added, WIP).
Advantages
- Can be upgraded through a series of quests after being obtained, starting with the armor upgrade that increases the ship's health (Theseus-U) all the way to a substantial upgrade to the ship's module (Theseus-X).
- Can resist to an extent, damage when its module is active with the healing that provides.
- High damage output on its weapons makes dealing with enemy capital ships within the Rift easier.
- High HP allows you to tank for your squadron while doing excursions within the Rift.
Disadvantages
- Somewhat expensive to obtain for the first time.
- Not very flexible line of sight on the turrets, preferring that you face your targets if you wish to have full line of sight.
- Ship module only heals hull HP while your shields are down, and does not heal shield HP.
- Most of the turrets struggle to hit small or nimble targets, leaving this ship vulnerable to smaller, more maneuverable ships meant to take out capital ships.
Strategy
- While doing excursions within the Rift, help out your other squadron members if they have weaker ships by tanking some damage for them.
- If using the ship outside of the Rift, be mindful that others may target it as it is very valuable.
Version History
- Released in unknown version.
Trivia
- This ship line is similar to the Preos (i.e. Preos Adult, Preos Juvenile) series of ships, but different in that upgrades through the quests consume the previous ship.
- This ship has weaponry that is unusually high-end for a ship of its type and cost.
