The Spearhead Recon Ship is one of the three elite New ships, being the cheaper one, with abilities and stats that make it a great stealthy ship. Compared to the Goliath, it is statistically much weaker, but due to it's multiple abilities, it makes it a great recon ship that can go completely cloaked when the skill is activated (even on the mini-map), as well as doubling the mini-map range to detect enemies ahead of time. Which poses a great advantage, so you can stay cloaked and invisible, see your enemies, and attack with the advantage of surprise on your side.
Cost
The Spearhead costs 45,000 Uridium in the Shop and is available for bidding in Trade. (very expensive)
Pros and Cons
Pros:
- Relatively cheap (almost half as the Goliath).
- High speed (with 12 G3N-7900s and Promerium upgrading, it's faster than a Vengeance with the same generators and upgrades).
- Decent number of generators.
- Great "hiding" abilities, perfect for new players, scouting, and patrols.
Cons:
- Relatively low hitpoints (little less than BigBoy).
- Really low number of lasers (five).
- Low cargo space (tied with standard Leonov).
Abilities and Restrictions of Ultamite Cloaking
- While ultimate cloaked, you cannot be locked onto.
- EMPs will not uncloak you.
- If you pick up boxes, ores, etc you will immediately be uncloaked.
- If you jump through a portal you will not stay cloaked.
All of your shields on that configuration drop to 0 until you are uncloaked
-Shields no longer drop to 0
