The "Serenity"
1,236,450 Credits
A relatively simple ship, intentionally weak enough for bounty hunter, but still a decently greater challenge than the Drakon sword, at a similar price, and style. If the core reactor is destroyed, it splits into two fully-functional halves.
Strengths:
- Moderate DPS, and is accurate
- Its weaponry is spread out, so it takes longer to destroy
- The central ion, if not taken care of, makes a notable difference in damage output because of its constant fire
- If the central ion is taken care of, the two halves essentially double the amount of DPS, while also opening an opportunity to flank opponents
- The reactors are spread out, so you can't just take out all of the reactors within the first 30 seconds of battle, leaving the rest of the ship hardly touched (Looking at you Archangel, Hammerhead)
- Durable
Weaknesses:
- Slow (intentional flaw)
- Poor defense, not a lot of reactors are protected well and only the front half is shielded
- The AI occasionally has trouble getting the two halves apart if the core is destroyed, and it can't pilot either half very well, especially if some of the thrusters are destroyed
- Destroying the railguns usually creates a chain reaction that destroys one of the halves' two CRs (intentional flaw)
- Has no missile defense whatsoever (intentional flaw)
In case the above ship file doesn't work (because it didn't work for me)
