Heavy Assault Cruiser
Not player controllable
The "Heavy Assault Cruiser" is a ship that is currently not user controllable. It will become user controllable in future versions of Vendetta Online. |
These are the largest class of capital ships, and the only one currently present in Vendetta Online. There is not much storyline behind these massive vessels, as they are still in testing. Heavy Assault Cruisers are around 800m long, have a large fin on the "underside", and a docking bay near the fin. By entering this bay, you may gain access to the ship's turrets, and armor, in addition to repairing your ship. The ship is equipped with 21 turrets, each of which holds either an Über Gatling Turret (higher damage, higher range) or a Beam Cannon. At the moment, the piloting of all Heavy Assault Cruisers is managed by AI systems, but work is already in progress for total player controlled versions.

Currently the Devs are running war scripts in Sedina B-8, A Heavy Assault Cruiser is launched from the capital system of each of the three major nations (Itani, UIT, Serco). They wait ten (10) minutes for defenders to board and man the turrets, then they set course and make way to Sedina B-8 where they stay for thirty minutes before returning to their spawn points and restarting the patrol. But since the recent update (6/9/05), they spawn closer to Sedina instead of in the nation capitals.
Their designations are:
There are also 3 H.A.C.'s, designated SMV Nemesis, SMV Ferronen and the SMV Shekaris that spawn in Sol II every few hours, and come with 5 NPC escorts: 2 SkyCommand Prometheuses armed with Gauss cannons and 3 Serco Vulture Guardians armed with Neutrons. They patrol between Sol II and Geira Rutilus.
