Andromeda

The Andromeda is the first Spinal based Dreadnought.

Description
The Andromeda was the first Spinal based Dreadnought in the game.

It is very fast for its class and has the highest pure damage output of any dreadnought. Recommended only for experienced players as it requires good aim and situational awareness to stay alive.

Requires 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 a long corridor with seats with four chairs at each end. If you instead go directly forward, you'll be in the pilot's seat.

Advantages

 * Massive Spinal damage.
 * Great for taking down other Dreadnoughts.
 * Good turn speed for a Dreadnought.
 * Spinals can be used to siege Starbases from afar without taking any damage.

Disadvantages

 * Expensive for a Dreadnought.
 * Large size makes it an easy target for all ships and weapons.
 * Hardest spinal based ship to use.
 * 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.
 * Must own the Galaxy VIP Gamepass to build this ship.
 * Vulnerable on all sides besides the front.
 * Low health for a dreadnought.

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 destroyed, seeing as its health is not suitable for tanking the damage long enough.
 * This ship requires a play style suited more towards a Battleship.
 * Make sure to not attack ships or Starbases without another ship with Turrets.
 * Make sure to bring support in the form of an Ampharos or a Tempest if taking on a fleet.
