 |
A massive, moon-sized space station created by the AI as the final defense against the human onslaught.

The Avenger mounts an Avenger Shield Module, a Heavy Beam Cannon Module Mark IV, 3x Heavy Beam Cannon Module Mark III, and 8x Riot Control Shotgun Modules Mk II. This ship spawns to avenge the death of an AI Home Command station if the Avenger plot is enabled at game setup. When it spawns it has the combined stats of 600,000,000 health and 2,264,000 DPS. |

How to use in your fleet

How to counter when in the AI fleet
Avengers are probably the MOST dangerous and powerful weapon in the AI's possession. They're usually armed with Heavy Beam Cannons, which are deadly to groups of small ships. With their over 2 Million HP, they're extremely hard to kill. When an Avenger is destroyed, it explodes with the force of a Mk I Nuclear Warhead, destroying everything in the system it's in that is not immune to Nuclear Explosions, including all resources. Normally, Avengers only appear if the Avenger AI Plot is enabled and the AI's Core Command Stations die.
However, Avengers can also appear in other circumstances. Enraging the AI to the point it goes berserk is the best way to encounter an Avenger (usually several at once). An example would be hacking the AI to the point the Hacking Points go very deeply into the negative, like -100,000. It can be easily done by hacking several Data Design Backups at once. The AI will become so angry it will throw over a hundred Avengers at you.
Needless to say, the aftermath of an Avenger's assault (or several) should make it undesirable to piss off the AI to the point that it decides to start lobbing them at the player even if the Avenger plot is off.
