Avalon

The Avalon is a light, Spinal-focused combat Dreadnought.

Description
The Avalon is a Torpedo Dreadnought that can fire a volley of Torpedoes. Its Torpedo damage is considerably high if you land all your hits, but the health points are very low and cause this to be an easy kill for smaller and faster ships.

Interior
The interior is almost nonexistent. The player walks onto the drawbridge into a square room inside the ship with a control box in the middle. It doesn't even have a door, just a gaping hole into open space.

Advantages

 * Adaptable Spinal weaponry loadout.
 * Extremely powerful Spinals.
 * Torpedoes can out-range base lasers.
 * Cheap for its class.
 * One of the best Dreadnoughts to solo Frion I when armed, having powerful Spinals that can quickly obliterate it.


 * Has decent speed for its class.

Disadvantages

 * Low turning speed and maneuverability make the Spinal volleys hard to aim.
 * Large blind-spot below the ship.
 * Hard to aim with the torpedoes.
 * Cannot destroy anything on its own.
 * Horrid health, way lower than any other Dreadnought.

Strategy

 * Park your ship at a neutral trading post, such as Mega Base.
 * Keep your eyes on the map, a swarm of Battlecruisers or a fast Battleship could end you.
 * The element of surprise is crucial if you want to survive in battle, warp in and fire your Spinals, then warp out before they react.
 * Make sure you face upwards so Turrets and Spinals can hit.
 * If you're participating in a siege, stay about 6k studs from the base. That way, your Torpedoes, Phasers, and Heavy Lasers will all be in range.
 * Any single ship with either good Turrets or fast speed can kill an Avalon, so make sure you have support.
 * Stay on your toes, keep moving at all times to reduce incoming damage likelihood.
 * Your best luck is attacking traders. Never dive miners near Starbases. The base has lots of heavy weapons that will rip apart your ship.
 * With the tip above in mind, you might be able to snipe miners out of the range of the opposing starbase.

Trivia

 * One of the least used Dreadnoughts.
 * Second lowest number of Turrets for a dread, first being the Andromeda.
