Defences
Anti Ship Defences
This is a military ship, so it's no surprise that it's heavily guarded.
- 1 Gatling Turret on the ship's rear
- 1 Gatling Turret on the back of the top
- 2 Missile Turrets, one on each side
Anti Personnel Defences
the ship's interior has no defences
Trap
This ship has 3 Warheads positioned to detonate in a chain reaction when a reverse thruster is fired.
If the warheads are detonated, there won't be much left of the ship to salvage (shown to the right).
Tactics
Approach
As of v1.23 (list), the Gatling Turrets and Missile Turrets aren't functioning.
So at this time, approach tactics are unclear.
Attack
However: as of v1.23 (list), the Gatling Turrets and Missile Turrets aren't functioning.
So at this time, attack tactics are unclear.
But one thing is clear, avoid shooting the explosives
Entry
There are 2 ways to enter this ship, from each side of the ship. These can be seen on the floor-plan below:
Disable
The reverse thruster trap can be disabled by either:
- Turning the offending Small Thruster off from the Cockpit
- Removing / Disabling the Small Thruster with a Grinder
To gain access to the offending thruster, use the Grinder on the Interior Wall to the left of the Assembler.
You should then see the first Warhead in the trap's chain. Using a Grinder on a Warhead won't set it off, so you can remove that too.
Then use the Grinder on the Small Thruster, at least until it is disabled, then you're ready to go.
Alternatively, if you're in a hurry, you can manoeuvre the ship to where you need it by only applying thrust in a forward direction.
This will mean that you need to point the ship away from your destination before you switch on the dampeners.
Salvage

Each of the 2 small cargo containers can easily be raided.
Reactors:
There are 2 small reactors accessible from the interior containing a total of 4kg of Uranium Ingot
