Ship of the Week - Stabilized M.E.K.

This warrior makes the most of its agility, with fast turreted weapons and effortless dodging. The Stabilized M.E.K. is also one of the few mouse-steered ships, which leaves the WASD controls for lateral motion. I like this ship for its focus on finesse rather than brute power, which I also like.

Ship of the Week - Banshee

[Download Ship]

The "Banshee" class corvette is an opportunistic killer that can roam a map, picking off the weak, and harassing the strong. In other words, a huge pain in the ass. The armor and speed make it very hard to crack, and the lasers are pinpoint accurate at any velocity. With a price of $41,000T, this ship is a bargain amongst Mastermind ships. The only drawback is a lack of maneuverability, so you'll just have to enjoy where this airframe takes you.

Ship of the Week - Behemoth

The "Behemoth" may have been the first super-capital ship, built in the 4th century after the Mastermind Event. Today, it finds itself slightly outdated (and its weaponry often outmatched), but the Behemoth's striking presence and focused weaponry let it hold its own in most confrontations.

Ship of the Week - Laevetienn

This titan-class vessel arrives as our second player ship of the week. The Laevetienn's massive size is matched by its cost at 479,428 Trillion dollars. The Laevetienn's purpose is tearing apart other heavy vessels in frontal assaults. Two multiphasic ion engine propel it, and a particle beam array arms it. Supporting weapons include a set of four twin naval cannon turrets for longer range work, and boosted missile arrays for fast moving targets. The durability of the frontal "blade" portion is staggering, allowing it to get in close and deploy its most powerful weaponry.

One of the more majestic vessels to lurk the Gimbal servers, the PS-N Helios is a true exercise in excess. It is striking, massive, and possesses an orbital laser cannon that can vaporize relicts in one shot.
