Aegis

undefined

General
The Aegis is a heavily armored Nautilus Blocker that's meant to impede any ship from attacking by assaulting it upfront.

Advantages
The Aegis has some of the heaviest armor values in the game, allowing it to tank nearly any ship, while attacking it at the same time with its wide firing arc.

It has a fast attack rate, allowing it to deal some decent damage. That damage is further increased when the hull is stationary, which occurs when you block a ship.

Despite losing its ability to deal damage to the Capital Ship, it can suffice as a decoy for the Capital Ship to fire at, while other ships deal damage to it.

Disadvantages
The Aegis is very slow and can be prone to flanking before it can deal out some damage.

The firing arc is on the short side, so if any ships were to pass by it, it likely won't be able to fire at it.

If the ship ends up reaching the Capital Ship, it won't do any damage past the initial collision with the Capital Ship.

Trivia

 * The Aegis was originally a Brawler class hull, capable of only attacking the Capital Ship. In v0.12, it was changed to a Blocker class ship, dealing ship damage only. The values that were associated with base damage were switched to ship damage. Armor values remained the same after the reclassification.
