Overview[edit]

Statwise, a pumped up version of the Pirate Brigantine, the Akuma is a lightly shielded but fast and powerful destroyer with a curious weapon layout. Sporting less anti-capital weaponry than other battleships but far more anti fighter weaponry also, it can fend off massed fighters better than most battleships. Quite a bit more expensive than comparable Commonwealth destroyers.

Background[edit]

Encyclopedia Entry[edit]

The recently-introduced Akuma destroyer, as its name suggests, is considered a demon among the innocent pilots trying to get safely to their destination. Little is known about the capabilities of this ship.

Physical Characteristics[edit]

The Akuma bears a passing resemblance to the Ryu, except with a longer fuselage with a small section connecting the bow to the large stern. It bears forward-facing spikes reminiscent of Teladi ships.

Combat[edit]

With 8 slots in its up/down turrets, the Akuma absolutely shreds fighters and corvettes. Its anti-capital broadsides are not lacking but its forward turret is, with only 4 guns, meaning it is least dangerous from the front - unlike others in its class. A loadout trick to further improve its fighter defence is the 'ionised flak' in its up/down mounts. With some flak weapons and some Ion Disruptors, it can extend the range of the IDs considerably, damaging enemy ships' shields constantly as it fires.

Akuma x

For players looking to board an Akuma, there is usually one on patrol in Senator's Badlands or Weaver's Tempest.

Suggested Roles[edit]

The Akuma is lightly shielded for a destroyer, but is second only to the Python for speed, and with more reliable anti-fighter defenses, it makes for an excellent raiding ship among destroyers.
