The Hatchet is a Cruiser of Neganari, unusual in that it's one of the few ships that do not fire forward. Instead, it shoots at a 90° angle, to the right of its nose. It shares several characteristics with the same faction's Spike.

For player use, it can be a good gunship for guerrilla tactics, as long as you get used to the guns firing at starboard (right-hand) side. Built-in Targeting Unit will help with accuracy.

Strategy[]

The Hatchet has fair armor and armaments. It usually attacks at medium range thus it is better to have some weapons with good range to battle it.

  • Non-veterans are armed with an Afterburner and three Mass Drivers. Both of them make it hard to stay near the enemy ship. Tractor beams, ranged weapons and/or Small Missile Launchers are highly advised. You're less likely to be hit if you are constantly mobile.
  • Veterans have one Mass Driver, one Neutron Blaster and one Pulse Cannon. In addition, they are equipped with an ECM Jammer (flares) and a Small Repair Bot. Compared to the former, these are much easier to combat as long as you are not using guided weapons.

Trivia[]

  • It resembles a wood-cutting tool; a hatchet. Likely where it got it's name.
  • Though the C-weapons are placed at the right-side of the ship, they are placed outside and separately instead of inside of it.
  • As this ship places weapons on the side, it shares function with all the gunships like Lockheed AC-130 and others as it place sideways.
    • It is categorized either as military helicopter or aircraft.
