{{Ship-Infobox |name=Scorpion |image=Scorpion.png |shieldc=225/400 |shieldr=5/7 |energyc=80/175 |energyr=38/50 |turning=50/70 |acceleration=80/100 |speed=75/90 |tier=6 |mass=450 }} '''Scorpion''' is a Tier 6 [[Ships|ship]] in [[Starblast.io]]. It fires one frontal pulse with large damage and knockback, and two small lasers from each side that do almost no damage. The side lasers come from the same cannons, resulting in a little spread. It sacrifices the immense pulse damage of the [[Advanced-Fighter]] with slightly higher ship speed, better shields, and more agility as well as shots that consume less energy, making it much more versatile and a great support ship. It also can destroy speedsters with its pulses. It also mines better than the [[Advanced-Fighter]] due to the higher mass and shield regen. While mining, max out the upgrades for energy and shield regen, and ram into asteroids to mine them quicker. [[File:Scorpion3D.png|left|200x200px]] If it isn't obvious enough, the Scorpion is designed to look like a scorpion (Arthropod). {| class="wikitable" width="100%" |- |} == Strategy == The Scorpion has good shields, fine energy capacity, decent speed, and brilliant firepower, as such, it will hold its own for anything. It can mine quickly by ramming and shooting. It is amazing in [[Dueling|duels]] and can also destroy [[Teaming|teams]] if used efficiently. It is necessary to wait for energy regeneration to ensure you fire the main pulse because the side lasers are weak and essentially worthless. However, keep in mind that an un-upgraded Tier 6 is not particularly strong, and is easily beaten. Only when fully upgraded does the Scorpion truly shine (same for all Tier 6 ships). When maxed, skilled pilots can even take on Level 7 players. But watch out for the [[Rock-Tower]], because it is commonly underestimated. It works well with defense pods or attack pods. It can be lethal without pods, but it's better to use them if you want to attack enemies. Because the scorpion has amazing firepower and good shields, you can use either one. The best secondary setup for a scorpion is 5 defense or attack pods, and 1 pack of missiles, and is recommended to have 6 full attack pods if you want to take enemies out one-by-one. Also adding a pack of missiles can decimate high health enemies quickly. === Ship Path=== The most common upgrade route to the Scorpion is [[Fly]] > [[Delta-Fighter]] > [[Pulse-Fighter]] > [[Mercury]] > [[FuryStar]] > [[Scorpion]], and it is common to upgrade to the [[Odyssey]] rather than the [[Shadow X-3]]. === Upgrading=== It is generally recommended to [[Upgrades|upgrade]] Energy Regeneration first, max the shield capacity, upgrade Energy Capacity twice, max Damage, [[Speed|Ship Speed]], and then finish maxing everything. Never upgrade Damage before Energy Capacity, as the main pulse will consume more energy than it has available. Therefore, you will be unable to shoot the main shot. Avoid engaging other vessels while upgrading, and you can mine quickly to have a fully-strengthened Scorpion. The Scorpion's pulse has relatively little knockback, as such, it is best to continuously fire pulses while keeping an eye on the Energy Bar. ===Upgrade Carefully=== If Damage is upgraded too many times, the pulse cannot shoot. Refer to this table of (energy cap - pulse damage), which must remain positive (row = damage, column = energy cap): {| class="wikitable" ! !0 !1 !2 !3 !4 !5 !6 |- |0 |30 | 45.83 |61.67 |77.5 |93.33 | 109.17 |125 |- |1 |21.67 |37.5 |53.33 |69.17 |85 |100.83 |116.67 |- |2 |13.33 |29.17 |45 |60.83 |76.67 |92.5 |108.33 |- |3 |5 |20.83 |36.67 |52.5 |68.33 |84.17 |100 |- |4 | style="background:#f99;color:black" | -3.33 |12.5 |28.33 |44.17 |60 |75.83 |91.67 |- |5 | style="background:#f99;color:black" | -11.67 |4.17 | 20 |35.83 |51.67 |67.5 |83.33 |- |6 | style="background:#f99;color:black" | -20 | style="background:#f99;color:black" | -4.17 | 11.67 |27.5 |43.33 |59.17 |75 |} As the table shows, upgrading energy cap twice prevents the issue. ==Cannons== {{Cannon |type=Pulse |damage=50/100 |speed=170/230 |dual=false |recoil=100 |frequency=0.9 |error=0 |spread=1 |energy=50/100 }} {{Cannon |type=Stream |damage=2/3 |speed=130/170 |dual=true |recoil=0 |frequency=1.8 |error=0 |spread=2 |energy=8/12 |angle=5}} {{ShipNavVanilla|[[U-Sniper]] - [[FuryStar]]|[[Odyssey]] - [[Shadow X-3]]}} {{ShipNavKEST|[[Valkyrie]]|[[WartHog]] - [[Pulse-Warrior]]}} {{ShipNavMCST|TODO|TODO - TODO}} [[Category:Ships]] [[Category:Vanilla ships]] [[Category:MCST (Multi-Class Ship Tree) ships]] [[Category:KEST (Kleinem's Enhanced Ship Tree) ships]]
