Second Galaxy – Best early ship for Neo-Europa Federation (NEF)

Cerberus

Instantly resets all weapon cooldowns, then reduces base weapon cooldowns by 15.43% and weapon energy consumption by 16.51% for 30s.

– Type: Battleship

– Perks:

Missile Launchers CD Reduction: 3%

Missiles Crit Rate Boost: 2%

Standard Thrusters Power Output Rate Boost: 5%

It’s a good ship for the superdevice effect which is going to come in handy quite a bit, especially when you want to quickly deal a lot of DPS and take down the enemy shield early on.

Centurion

Launches a total of 20 missiles to hit up to 5 random enemies within 32 km. Each missile deals 250 damage.

– Type: Battlecruiser

– Perks:

Missiles DMG Boost: 3%

Missile Launches Activation Cost Reduced: 2%

Shield Recharge Devices Recharge Amount Increase: 4.5%

It’s a good and fairly easy and quick to maneuver ship, so I believe that it can be quite powerful in the early game, as the other ships are not that powerful and their shield will not be able to outheal the missiles.

Second Galaxy – Best early ship for the Economic Community of Dawn (ECD)

Kensho

Discharges a shock wave to deal 3780 damage to targets within an area of 31.5 km and leads to 1140 energy loss immediately of targets affected.

– Type: Battleship

– Perks:

Blasters CD Reduction: 6%

Blasters Precision Boost: 4%

Ship Energy Cap Bonus: 5%

This is a super powerful ship which deals a lot of AoE damage, and if you time the skill right, you will drain the enemy’s energy very fast. It’s a ship that is difficult to deal with in my opinion, especially when you go against it.

Spiritual

Discharges a special beam to link a target within 33.6 km for 18s. The link deals 216 damage to the target every 0.5s and slows it. The slow effect gradually increases to 13.7% in 5s. The link breaks if the target is out of range.

– Type: Battleship

– Perks:

Blasters CD Reduction: 3%

Blasters Crit Rate Boost: 2%

Standard Thrusters Power Output Rate Boost: 5%

This is a good ship if you think that close combat is for you, because it is super deadly in the fights, the longer it locks onto the target. Because of the superdevice effect skill, if it manages to lock onto a target for 5 seconds, that 13.7% slow is going to be the death of any enemy, as they cannot really get away anymore.

Second Galaxy – Best early ship for Oracle Empire (OE)

Phantom

Shoots a target with laser within 32 km and deals 5680 damage. The laser beam refracts between a maximum of 3 nearby enemy targets. Each refraction deals 40% less damage.

– Type: Battleship

– Perks:

Lasers CD Reduction: 3%

Lasers Precision Boost: 2%

Energy Recharge Devices Recharge Amount Increase: 4.5%

It’s a ship which is very powerful single target, but AoE is also good, even if that 40% less damage applies. It’s also got a pretty large range, so I think that it could be a good pick for the OE early players.

Curse

Discharges a special beam to link a target within 42 km for 15 seconds. The link deals 120 damage to the target and recovers the same amount as shield to the ship, every 0.5s. The link breaks if the target is out of range.

– Type: Battlecruiser

– Perks:

Lasers CD Reduction: 3%

Lasers Crit DMG Boost: 10%

Standard Thrusters Power Output Rate Boost: 5%

It’s a ship which can become very tank as long as there is a ship within range to lock onto with the superdevice skill effect. The shield recharge can be extremely annoying, so if you have this ship as an enemy and you are in range, chances are you will have a hard time defeating it.

Second Galaxy – Best early ship for the Republic of Svarus (RS)

Vortex

Generates 87 temporary shield for each 1% of remaining energy for the next 30s. This effect doesn’t consume energy.

– Type: Battleship

– Perks:

Rainguns DMG Boost: 6%

Rainguns Crit DMG Boost: 20%

Shield Thermal DMG RES Boost: 8%

This is a ship which is extremely tanky, so I really think that if you want survivability, this should be the ship that you go for, because it has the best of both worlds: damage and tankiness.

Wrath

Attacks a target within 42 km by firing a powerful ultra-distance Railgun, dealing 4800 damage to it and all the nearby enemies within 11 km.

– Type: Battleship

– Perks:

Rainguns DMG Boost: 3%

Rainguns Crit Rate Boost: 2%

Railguns Range Boost: 2%

As a powerful ship wielding railguns, I believe that Wrath is one of the most powerful early tier 1 ships in the game (it’s also the reason why I chose RS as my character’s nation). Big range and huge damage, along with mobility.

Second Galaxy – Best early ship for United Solar Systems of Hygara
