Ship details

Dark Phoenix is an Anaconda fitted primarily for combat when a bigger ship is required, and maneuverability can be sacrificed for raw firepower. Turreted multi-cannons deal with ships outside of the pilots view, while the top mounted gimbaled multi-cannons deal more firepower when in the pilots field of view. Turreted pulse and burst lasers also allow for consistent thermal damage to enemy shields.

As of early 3306, Dark Phoenix has become less of a multipurpose craft and seen much more combat than hauling. and upgrades have been made for further combat abilities.

On Oct 15 3306, Dark Phoenix saw it's first real combat with Thargoids, being fitted with AX multicannons for the duration of the mission. It proved able to stand on it's own against Thargoid Scouts, even as they flew around the much less nimble craft. In a wing, Dark Phoenix was able to output damage, as well as help allied CMDR's with repair limpets and decontamination limpets.

Starting Nov 3306, the Dark Phoenix got some serious engineering work done to the weapons, overcharging the multicannons to output more damage than before. The lasers also got some basic engineering, though more advanced engineering is planned in the future.
