Carvainir

The Carvainir is a heavy duty, extremely expensive, VIP-exclusive Battleship with an extremely large cargo hold for its class.

Description
The Carvainir is essentially a Freighter Class ship, considering its high cargo hold, but it is classed as a Battleship due to its weapons and size. The Carvainir is armed with Turrets and Spinals so it can defend itself from Pirates. It has the same cargo hold capability as the Prospector. Pirates are less likely to attack this ship compared to a Freighter. This ship is very expensive, has an average speed, and a good amount of hit points for its class, as well as a 10/10 interior.

Interior
The ship docks with the front of the ship facing the dock, from there you walk forward through the entrance door to find a large lobby area filled with detail. On the left and right of you when you enter, you will find two signs with quotes on them. The quotes are: "Five letter word for happiness? Money" and "We shall not refuse our guests even the most ridiculous request." When you walk forward you will see three walkways, the one in front leads to the pilot's seat, the one on the right leads to a small room with a table and some chairs, and the one to the left leads to a small office room with some desks in it. If you jump off the main path, you will find a large work space with a large hologram that stretches around the entire area, with lots of office chairs around it. Finally, there is a huge hologram in the center that looks like a power core of some sort.

Advantages

 * Large cargo hold for a Battleship, the same as a Prospector.
 * Able to fend off Pirates with its Turrets and Spinals.
 * Incredibly detailed and large interior.
 * Health value is great for its class.

Disadvantages

 * As the 3rd most expensive Battleship in the game at 94,914 total credits, it's unbelievably overpriced for its class.
 * Vulnerable topside.
 * Slow for a Battleship.
 * Low firepower for a Battleship.
 * Less cargo hold than a lot of Freighters, especially for its price.
 * Must own the Galaxy VIP Gamepass to build this ship.
 * Unable to spawn at Mega Base due to it being a capital ship.

Strategy

 * Warp to the wreck you wish to loot. If there is an enemy, quickly fire at them, but focus on getting the loot. Warp out once you get it.
 * Do not engage Capital Ships if possible.
 * Try not to trade using this ship if you're at War with a faction.
 * Never use this to siege a base, as it lacks the firepower and is a big target.
