Hawklight

The Hawklight is considered to be one of the strongest battleships. It's mainly a PvP ship.

Description
Many people have used the Hawklight for sieges but it is mainly PvP. It's Large Laser Turret is a massive help when defending, as it deals heavy damage, forcing opposite team to flee the scene. As this ship is a battleship it normally acts like a heavy battlecruiser being that it can escort, defend and maybe even help in an attack. Some see it as a mini-dread.

Interior
The interior of the Hawklight is fairly small. You'll enter to an empty dock port with a single teleporter to the bridge, a small room with a pilot's seat facing a window and a small seat with a large screen in front of it.

Strengths

 * Decent amount of Spinals makes this a good PVP ship.
 * Good ship-to-ship capability.
 * Decent health.
 * High mobility.
 * An all around ship that contains a subtle loadout that can be used as an anti-siege ship.
 * Has a small turret on the bottom that does a small amount of damage but can be useful to repel small ships that contain little health.

Weaknesses

 * Low turn speed.
 * Slow.
 * Hard to fight any ship that has high mobility due to low turn speed.
 * Very well known ship which can be your demise when it comes to PvP.
 * Hard to damage hull if you can't aim with Spinals.

Strategy

 * What it lacks in turret power and durability, it makes up for in maneuverability and its extremely powerful spinal weapons.
 * It is a great ship for fighting Battlecruisers and other larger ships.
 * The Spinals will make quick work of the target if it can keep its enemies in front of itself.
 * The Hawklight can take out any siege ship in the game, so use it as a full on PVP ship when your base is being sieged.
 * When paired with a good pilot, the Hawklight could easily solo an Alien Punisher, while still having lots of shield remaining.

Trivia

 * When the game first came out it was the biggest ship.
 * Remade by Vollmond and released in .51i.
 * Most likely named after champion hawklight from field of battle
 * The old model had a pumpkin on it for Halloween.Hawklight halloween.JPG
