Class 6 Venghi Ship

[Kelanor]

Do you ever get to buy a Class 6 venghi ship or do you have to craft it if you want one? I've seen class 6 ships of other factions for sale but never seen the venghi class 6 ships for sale. I do have the blueprint for it, but god it's a long ingredient list. lol

[Nobukado]

Only crafted, not sold.

it's like for the ZEUS, only by manufacturing, you will have to play at least 2 games to unlock them both, because its two factions are at war :)

But is the ship worth the trouble to make it?, havent seen it in action yet, the gun layout seems wierd to me aswell, and the Venghi guns are to rare.

[Jaasrg]

It does look a bit lacking if you compare to Zeus, but centralized spinal mount makes it easier to use and the low space turrets are perfect for venghi missiles.

[riscdesign]

The Spinal Mount can destroy star bases with the right weapon setup and the gun layout has pretty good coverage around the sides. After trying both, I would say the Venghi is more of a Tank while the Zeus can be made to be a little faster and more nimble with the right crew.... still a very tough ship.

If I had to choose then I would go with the Zeus and try to equip it with Venghi Shields, Generators, etc.

To answer your question inixus: developer promised to buff the V6 later, but as of the current build Zeus is superior..

If you do not join the Rebels though, the V6 is a fairly equal ship in comparison to the Sanctuary or Dominance, sharing different strengths and weaknesses. Sanctuary and Dominance are lighter, have far more crew bonuses, more cargo and passenger space; they therefore have better non-combat stats like speed, warp, more cargo space, more instructors and supervisors and engineers and so on. The V6 is heavier, less fast, less cargo, less crew bonuses, but has higher equipment space, huge armor, and a powerful spinal weapon. V6 is stronger in a fight, but the civilian ships are better in a non-combat role.

I just made the V6 and i must say, not impressed at all.

Tank is oki, but it just lacks firepower, shure it can take out a big target in one blast with the 12 slot spinal, but it just cannot handle swarms.

The venghi Weps imo are to slow for the agile ships, it would b better if the gun mounts where lv3 instead of lv2 like the Zeus.

i like the Zeus and venghi one when you get swarmed by gold elite fighters that swarm you like killer bees. the side turrets really help. however, as others have said, i prefer sanctuary and dominance for the majority of situations. i especially like sanctuary being able to cup ships between the two outer prongs while the mid turret blasts em lol.

My experience with the V6 is this; its like trying to hit a fly with your hand, dosnt matter if there are 100 side turrets if they are to slow to track/hit. i still need to try a all pd beam setup but that low turret nrs on the V6 is putting me off to try it. i wish it was atleast 3 on all turrets like the Zeus.

Ty for the reply, im trying to like the ship but i cannot progress till they buff the v6.

I lack the Sup hulls to actually facetank the hunterfleets, i only have 20 purple sup hulls and 1 golden and its not enough to tank, you aslo need to face the hunterfleet to use the 2 main guns, i wish the 6star turret was 360. The ship moves like a snail and turns like a rock so if i try to use those 2 main guns im dead.

The only way i can fight hunterfleets is to fly around them and the ship just lacks the firepower to do that, i tryd to use Vegni weps but they just go all over the place and miss the ships and the pd lasers dont have good los (dont like weps that need ammo)

The v6 may have less firepower, but it has more than enough in all directions to afk hunter fleets, even at the -250k rep range. The difference is that while the v6 has less firepower, it's far more capable as a hull tank, having 5 more equipment space, built-in venghi regen, and a whopping 33% more base health than a zeus. As for hull reinforcements, I recommend you go scavenging/mine for a minute and just craft all the ones you need. With everything else set up it should only take around 25 reinforcements to become pretty much immortal, even when multiple spinals target you simultaneously.

Can you post a pic off your build with 25 sup hulls plz?, cause i dont have the room for 25, i have 21 and i am getting killed in like 10 secs, my hull is 26.5k. my rep is -400k

Ty for trying to help btw.

Been using the V6 venghi battleship for awhile and i've noticed that gun turrets act differently on a class 6 dreadnaught vs smaller ships. PD turrets don't seem to actually fire at big ships and seem to focus entirely on missle/drone defense. (bad because i Had the whole ship loaded with Venghi Light Blasters [PD guns] and venghi missile launchers)
Since I've replaced my venghi light blasters with venghi heavy blasters i've had alot more fun though. I've put all gunners with +range on the turrets, and put the +20 range ship enhancement on the ship and its awesome. What the missiles don't take out the venghi heavy blasters just shred to pieces with +range. By far my favorite ship for just how tanky this thing is. Who needs PD turrets anyways when you can literally just tank through it. lol
