Worm

The Worm is a small Frigate modeled after the freighter "Wyrm"

Description
The Worm is a Wyrm-sized frigate with two spinals and a small cannon, as well as a Wyrm-sized cargo hold. It's in-game description explains that it was specially designed for smugglers, Pirates, and scavengers.

Interior
The Worm has a small cockpit similar on the outside to the Wyrm. The pilot's seat is always the color of the player's faction. In front of this seat is a red screen and two joystick-like controls, similar to the layout of the Archangel.

Advantages

 * Fast.
 * Has a Light Cannon.
 * Has both a Cannon and Phaser, making it balanced in terms of Spinal firepower.
 * Cheap.
 * Has higher Shields than the Wyrm.

Disadvantages

 * Low health.
 * Spinals deal little damage.
 * It costs Credits, unlike the Wyrm.
 * It has less hull health than the Wyrm.
 * Its turret won't do much damage at all, even if a ship is on hull.

Strategy

 * Never target ships such as the Ampharos, since they can destroy you easily.
 * Use the Worm like a Wyrm, due to it having the same size cargo hold.
 * Fly in groups to maximize firepower.
 * When attacking miners, you don't have to worry about losing your ship because of how cheap it is.

Trivia

 * Has a similar appearance to the Wyrm.
 * The Worm’s control sticks have a remarkable resemblance to those on the current Archangel.
 * Because it has the same cargo hold as the Wyrm, it may be considered the only "armed freighter" that isn't VIP.
 * Even though in the ship's description it claims they put armour on to a Wyrm the Worm has less hull health than the Wyrm.
 * It's black color scheme is the result of the shipmasters meshing the ship poorly, recoloring it entirely black rather than it's orignal run down colors.
