Abyssal Deadspace: Difference between revisions

Line 202:

The Rogue Drone Battleship deals Kinetic and Thermal damage, and the Battleship found in Tier 5 and 6 sites also has a Stasis Webifier, which helps counteract its poor tracking.

The same gimmick that applies to Drifter Battleships also applies to Rogue Drone Battleships in a slightly different way - if a generic damage dealer frigate (e.g. ''Sparkneedle Tessella'') spawns, the battleship follows it in orbit and as a result will draw close to you, as Rogue Drone Frigates naturally orbit close to your ship (minus the repair frigates). This can greatly help afterburner-fit ships which normally can't easily get under the battleship's guns, but can also become problematic in high tier sites as it may put you within their webifier range.

Rogue Drone Frigate names have the suffix '''Tessella'''. Rogue Drone Battlecruiser names have the suffix '''Tessera'''.

Line 246:

This can be very irritating, as it forces you to fly all the way back to the exit gate after the battleship finally dies. During the time spent chasing the battleship, you are vulnerable to its poorly-tracking but hard-hitting turrets. The strength of the battleship varies with the level of the Abyssal filament; higher-level filaments feature more damage and HP. Thankfully, the Drifter Battleship here does not come with either a Doomsday Weapon or any EWAR abilities.

Drifter battleships have a small exploitable gimmick which can greatly benefit afterburner-focused cruisers, however; if the pocket happens to spawn an ''Ephialtes Lancer'' specifically, the battleship will follow it in orbit and as a result move closer to you, making it significantly easier to get under its guns and save a lot of stress. This does not work with any other Sleeper/Drifter cruiser types.

Drifter ships start the fight with heavily-damaged shields, armor, and hull. Drifter cruisers all use some form of EWAR in addition to dealing damage, but they also have large signature radii and are thus easy to finish off.
