Andromeda

The Andromeda is the first Spinal based Dreadnought.

Description
The Andromeda is the first and only spinal based dread in the game. It is very fast for its class and dishes out massive amounts of damage, more than any ship currently in the game. Recommended only for experienced players as it requires good aim and situational awareness to stay alive. It has a very low amount of health for its class. This ship's Spinals have a very high amount of range, as they are huge. ''' You need the Galaxy VIP Gamepass to build this ship. '''

Interior
The Andromeda has a somewhat small interior, entered through a ladder in the back of the ship. If you head forward and to either side, you will find seats with 4 chairs. If you instead go directly forward, you'll be in the pilot's seat.

Advantages

 * Massive Spinal damage.
 * Highest DPM (damage per minute) of any ship in the game.
 * Great for taking down other dreads.
 * Fast warp acceleration.
 * One of the fastest dreads, second only to the Leviathan by a difference of 1 speed.
 * Very high turn speed for a dread, again second only to the Leviathan.

Disadvantages

 * Lowest health in class.
 * Large size makes it an easy target for all ships and weapons.
 * Can only be used effectively by highly experienced players.
 * Has no Turrets whatsoever, leaving it highly vulnerable to small, agile ships.
 * Aiming is difficult, as the reduced mobility caused by being a Dreadnought makes it hard to hit targets that are below a Battleship or fast-moving. Make sure to bring support in the form of an Ampharos or a Tempest if taking on a fleet.
 * Must own the Galaxy VIP Gamepass to build this ship.

Strategy

 * Get up close and personal and release your Spinal fury!
 * Stay aware of the map at all times, a few Cobras or other small ships sneaking up on you could be your end.
 * Use warp to quickly reposition if you get caught in a bad spot. Be careful not to warp off the map when doing this.
 * This ship can solo an undefended Level 1 Starbase but Level 2 Starbases run the risk of getting the Andromeda, seeing as how its health is not suited to tanking.
 * This ship requires a play style suited more towards a Battleship.
 * Make sure to not attack ships or bases without another ship with turrets.

Trivia
