Ridgebreaker

The Ridgebreaker is a Dreadnought Class ship designed specifically for sieging.

Description
The Ridgebreaker is a long ship, mostly grey in color.

Interior
A box that has a red chair in the center and on the front wall it says, "Interior". Much like Lazarus.

Advantages

 * High Spinal firepower capable of easy damage.
 * Extremely high health, and the 4th highest in the class.
 * Powerful siege Turrets.
 * Overall high damage output, especially towards Hull.
 * Can out-range bases with its Heavy Railgun.
 * Largest Cargo Hold of all Dreadnoughts.
 * Great interior.

Disadvantages

 * Incapable of fighting small ships.
 * Vulnerable bottom.
 * Very sluggish, slower and less maneuverable than other Dreadnoughts and Carriers.
 * Third most expensive Dreadnought in-game, not including limited ships.
 * Weak Shield damage.
 * Mediocre Shield health for a Dreadnought.

Strategy

 * Use it as the main tank in sieges for its massive pool of Hull.
 * Be careful not to waste the Spinals, as nearly half of the damage it does comes from its Spinals.
 * Be sure to bring a Sagittarius so that your Cannons and Railguns can do the most hull damage.
 * If alone, keep at a distance of 6.6k-6.7K to pick off the base using Spinals, and retreat when you see defenders incoming.
 * Due to its reliance on kinetic weaponry, this ship is best used when a foe's Shields have been depleted. It may not be the best idea to be the one soaking up all the initial damage in a siege, as you will want as much health as possible last long enough to destroy the Starbase's Hull.
 * A Combination of a Sagittarius and Ridgebreaker can be a big threat, as they will dish out damage fast.

Version History

 * At one point most of its exterior detail was removed leaving some simple decorations in its place, and its living quarters were completely removed.
 * Received a massive buff in .61e4 that boosted Cargo Hold, health, and ship cost.
 * Remodeled in .61h1.
 * Received a Heavy Railgun in .65b.
 * Explosion range increased from 10 to 175 in .65b.
 * Remodeled in .65b.

Trivia

 * The original model had Torpedoes, which were removed prior to addition.
 * The current model looks like the first Ridgebreaker model.
