A dangerous and swift phase frigate, the Afflictor design features the efficient Mark III Phase Cloak actuator. Its weapons loadout is powerful enough to bring down much heavier ships if they are caught off guard.

–In-Game Description

After the Second AI War, much of the TriTachyon phase fleet was irreperably damaged or otherwise decommissioned due to treaty conditions. Many of these D-grade phase ships were sold to disreputable elements such as black marketeers and pirates who promptly put them back into service.

A dangerous and swift phase frigate, the Afflictor design features the efficient Mark III Phase Cloak actuator. Its weapons loadout is powerful enough to bring down much heavier ships if they are caught off guard.

–In-Game Description

The Afflictor-class is a phase frigate with a unique Entropy Amplifier, which temporarily makes ships more vulnerable to damage. The unmodified hull is fielded by Tri-Tachyon, while the Pirates have one that lacks two universal weapon mounts.

Acquisition[]

Since it is a high tech ship, the Afflictor is very rare, especially in its default design, and can occasionally be found in Tri-Tachyon bastions or large colonies of other factions.

Tactics[]

  • Its Phase Field, Entropy Amplifier and frontal universal/hybrid weapon mounts makes it suitable for hit-and-run tactics against medium-sized ships. In this role, it is best piloted directly by the player, who can infiltrate the enemy and assassinate a high-value target.
  • The Afflictor is also suitable for anti-shield support roles when equipped with Sabot missiles and Antimatter Blasters; phasing in and out while shredding enemy shields and providing heavy fire. See the Strike autofit variant below.
