Official Description
The Leonov is worth every scrap of Uridium asked for her. Versatile, agile and with an unbeatable home advantage: more cargo space and more speed when you're in your Company's sectors! Your Company has your back - and now, you can return the favor!

Overview[]

The Leonov is an elite small and sleek Starjet ship which excells on hunting down aliens in the lowers.

Tips[]

  • If you just began to play DarkOrbit Reloaded, you must bid on this ship.
  • Leonov is a very good ship at cleaning the NPCs from the Lowers.
  • In combination with the Arrow Drone Formation or the Chevron Drone Formation, the user can deal up to 5,000 damage with PLT-2026, damage comparable to PLT-2021's damage.
  • It is recommended to gain the speed generators fast when a new player so you can move around the map faster.

Trivia[]

  • Drones level up at an increased speed on this ship but they level up much faster on a Phoenix ship.
  • It is thought to be named after Alexey Leonov, the first human to take a spacewalk.
  • Even with no equipment, this ship is amazing at allowing you to chase aliens and escape enemies
  • A blue outer glow on a Leonov ship shows the home advantage, which increases the number of hit points and cargo that the ship can carry while in the Lower Maps.
  • Once this ship travels anywhere beyond the X-1 to X-4 maps, it becomes a weaker ship with overall low ship status, comparable to a Piranha ship.
  • Destroying the Leonov gives very small rewards (in terms of honour and experience) to the destroyer.
    • This encourages the usage of Leonov in case you don't want your destroyers to get anything in return.
