Constellation

The Constellation is one of the two Freighter-class ships to be armed.

Description
The Constellation is a large Freighter that is able to defend itself. The Constellation is a VIP ship. The ship has two large sets of thrusters on the back, a large area along the center dedicated to cargo pods, and an anvil-like bridge area.

Interior
The Constellation's interior consists only of a slate grey room with a black pilot's seat and a small teleporter pad.

Advantages

 * High Cargo Hold.
 * High Hull and Shields.
 * Great acceleration.
 * One of the only two Freighters with Turrets.
 * Surprisingly good against Alien Swarmers.
 * Good speed for it's size
 * Amazing turret placement for a non-combat ship.

Disadvantages

 * The ship’s large width and relatively slow speed makes you a prized target for Pirates using bigger ships.
 * Slow turn speed.
 * Turrets are only effective against small ships between Frigates through Cruisers and Alien Swarmers.
 * Can't stand up to large combat ships.

Strategy

 * Check the Minimap often so you can warp away from any enemy ships if needed.
 * If a cruiser or below attacks you, your Turrets are likely to be enough to defend yourself. Flee to your Starbase if you take significant damage, especially once on hull health.
 * If anything as strong as a Battleship attacks you, retreat to your Starbase or to a safe area as soon as possible!

Version History

 * One of the 2 Medium Flak Cannons was replaced with a Medium Laser in .61g1.
 * Received a buff in .62a1 that added a second Medium Laser and Medium Flak Cannon.
 * Received a remodel in version .65a

Trivia

 * 2nd VIP ship to be temporarily available to all players before being restricted to VIP players only.
 * You can unconventionally destroy other Miner and Freighter ships in the Constellation. Technically, you could even siege a base or a planet!


 * It is one of two Freighters with Turrets.
 * Although it is the first Freighter to be armed, the Carvainir was designed for the same purpose. It was simply classed as a Battleship due to the amount of firepower it has.
 * The windows in front of the Pilot's seat can be walked through, just like the doors in the back.
