Retribution

The Retribution is a multi-purpose Dreadnought.

Description
Having excellent mobility and a decent health pool, the Retribution can deal out large amounts of damage if used properly. The Retribution, along with it's unique appearance, has a very small blind spot. Even the blind spots can be overcome due to the Retribution's relatively high mobility, making it an excellent choice as a PvP vessel. The ship's exterior is visually striking and features an ornate design and large, protruding turbines on the lower flank of the wing. It also has multiple sets of armor braces, and a heavy front pressure bulkhead.

Interior
When boarding the ship, the player will encounter a teleporter pad. This pad links to the bridge, which is quite small and contains the pilot seat. Above the seat you will see a panel with the words "I am the holy executioner of heretics" emblazoned in gold. The interior is mostly painted with a metallic texture and takes up a very small portion of the ship.

Advantages

 * Very high turn speed.
 * Decent Spinal firepower against hulls of other ships.
 * Excellent Turret placement.
 * Incredibly versatile, able to solo siege an undefended level 2 Starbase if used correctly.
 * Spinals have a high Rate of Fire, allowing multiple chances to hit an enemy in a short space of time
 * Due to its turret sizes being mostly medium, it is able to hit somewhat more nimble Battlecruisers or Battleships.

Disadvantages

 * Slightly lacking in Turret firepower for a dreadnought.
 * Limited ability to fend off smaller ships like the Gideon.
 * Anything below cruiser class or with an operational speed over 100 will cause lots of trouble.
 * The 2 medium lasers on the bottom of the ship must be facing the target directly to fire.
 * Mediocre movement speed requires expert maneuvering from the pilot in PvP situations.

Strategy

 * As much as it is a fierce dreadnought, the Retribution is at its best when in a fleet.
 * When in a 1v1 situation, use your mobility to your advantage. Attack from your target's blind spot.
 * Make sure to approach from below your target, and only go head on if the target is a small Battleship or Battlecruiser such as the Sentaliz.
 * Never tank for prolonged periods of time in a siege.
 * Make sure to be ready to pull out in case the tide turns in your enemy's favor.
 * When Sieging in a fleet, park your ship at heavy laser range (5800 studs away) and use your heavy weaponry to attack the base.
 * During sieges, your goal is to support core capital ships. Be sure to fend off any defenders. Focus on battleships and dreadnoughts; they can cause serious problems during a siege.
 * When engaging a small enemy use 'reverse' and point the ship downwards to make them get into the turrets' line of fire. After doing so, spin up your warp and warp about 4-5k below your target so all of your turrets are in range of the target.

Trivia

 * Based on the Cobra Class Destroyer from Warhammer 40K.
 * When you walk into the cockpit, you'll see the words "I am the holy executioner of the heretic".
 * Has the biggest map icon of any dreadnought.
