Sidewinder: Difference between revisions

Uses the [[DeLacy Spin Ionic MV]].

The Sidewinder is the default craft offered throughout the game. The player starts in one, and if at any time their ship is destroyed they can get a free Sidewinder if they can't or don't want to replace their ship. New players who still struggle with learning the game, may find themselves flying it for a longer time or going back to it often.

The Sidewinder is thus a master of the knife-fight, but a little weak at a distance. When flying one, using its excellent turning to lock opponents into circling matches, and burning away opposite of the enemy to escape are advised tactics. When fighting a Sidewinder, keep it at range and lay down heavy fire if the current ship can't outmaneuver it, and it should be destroyed quickly; with a ship that has can keep up with its turning, close in and blast away, making sure to stay away from its front.

All ships are highly customizable through outfitting. Each outfit slot has a maximum class that can be put into that slot. Apart from classes, outfits also have a quality rating A-I, and other characteristics such as energy drain, armor piercing, etc.
