HAMMER TIME
You have the Anvil to battle the battle things. Now complete your set with the tools of the master craftsman, the HAMMER. Designed to be powerful, hard-hitting, and the embodiment of destruction.The Hammer is the Retrocitor's equivalent to a Battleship, bristling with weaponry, and known as a Warship. Much like Battleships, Warships are the gunships of a fleet, equipped with a devastating arsenal. Warships are unable to target multiple ships on their own, utilizing a single large firing arc, but are also more durable and agile.

It features Hangar slots for offensive prowess, giving it a long-range 360-degree firing arc. It provides support bonuses to allied Barony hulls in its vicinity, as well as provide offensive support in the form of long-range weaponry and drones, as well as shutting down enemy hulls that wander into it’s range.
Weapon Specials
- Known for pushing the limits, the Retrocitors developed the Superheated Rounds to increase the damage Kinetic weapons deal to heavily armored hulls by dangerously exposing the core of the munitions. Use this special when dealing with high health enemies, or with hit and run hulls to wear enemies down.
- The Overload Conductors was designed to help Energy Retrocitor weapons overload enemy shields and get damage past them. Use this special when dealing with enemies with high Shields to punch through their defenses.
- The Rapid Launchers was created to help deliver the ordinance of Explosive Retrocitor weapons to their targets faster. Use this special when dealing with faster moving ships or any swarms of ships you need to take out quickly.
