Gryphon

The Gryphon is a Cruiser with amazing mobility, suited for dog-fighting and pest control.

Description
The Gryphon is a Cruiser with 3 Medium Flak Cannons. It is equipped with very high mobility unseen by many other Cruisers. This ship has a very futuristic design and nice looking engines.

Interior
The Gryphon has a large bay door that opens to the inside of the ship, which contains 10 faction-colored passenger chairs. The pilot's seat is rather small and in an elevated area compared to the rest of the seats.

Advantages

 * Spinals are strong against smaller or similar sized ships.
 * High Turret accuracy and range.
 * High health and mobility, a rare combo for a Cruiser.
 * Hard-counters most ships ranging from Frigates to Cruisers.
 * Very affordable price.
 * Lots of (cosmetic) passenger seats.

Disadvantages

 * Vulnerable bottom against shield ships.
 * Very large for a Cruiser.
 * Awkwardly placed Spinals make it hard to hit smaller ships up close.
 * Out-gunned by higher class ships.
 * Very small cargo hold.

Strategy

 * Gather a fleet of Gryphons and chase down fleeing ships for easy kills.
 * Don't engage in a head-to-head fight with Battlecruisers and up, instead strafe around them or fight in numbers.
 * Use your agility to attack Frigates, Destroyers and other Cruisers using your Medium Flak Cannons to chip their health.

Version History

 * As of update 65a6, its Dual Gatlings got replaced by Medium Flaks.


 * Max Shield and Hull increased from 700/925 to 1000/1000, Medium Flak Cannon count increased from 2 to 3 in version .65b

Trivia

 * On the front, there are protrusions that appear to have intended to be six tiny Spinals.
 * The many passenger seats don't actually work, as they are only there for cosmetic purposes.
