Orbiter Walls are fast and wide ships with strong shield defenses that often try to ram on the side of a ship or split to flank the enemy.

General setup:

  • The ship is split into 3 segments
  • Each segment has a row of weapons and shields in the front and thrusters in the back
  • The reactor is protected with armor

Optional design choices

  • Splitting functionality gives the ship incredible flexibility.
  • Side Nukes
  • Large shields to protect large areas against burst damage
  • Pretask and UL can make the ship faster but the overstrained reactors cause the pretask to not make the shield uptime a lot better. It also makes the reactors very vulnerable to burst damage.

Piloting

  • You often want to orbit and try to ram the enemy on a side
  • Try to stay away from asteroids as it is easy to get stuck and hard to get out with so much surface area.
  • Splitting your ship into a trap is great for targeting enemies that are vulnerable to tanking.
