Up to date for latest version, 0.97a.

The Atlas-class superfreighter is a prime target of pirate attacks. A few are later found at the broken heart of a sharp spray of impact debris in some lonely orbit. Others earn a pirate's second appraising glance and are hauled off to secret shipyards. Cargo holds are ripped apart, replaced with trusses to hold weapons mounts and souped-up ammo feed lines.

This Atlas, reborn in vacuum and fire, now delivers a cargo of death from the hand of a pirate warlord.

–In-game description

Strategy and tips

Damagetype energy.png The following section contains user-submitted suggestions, these may be inaccurate or outdated.

It is prudent to take advantage of the ship's system when fitting and in combat; a well-designed loadout can easily bring a great deal of ballistic suppression to bear.

While fitting the ship, flux levels should be taken into account carefully; the relatively low armor and hull rating compared to other capitals could result in a very undesirable and explosive death for a shieldless Atlas Mk.II.

Atlas Mk.IIs do best when fitted to dispense high-grade ballistic and/or missile firepower. They are not, however, very sturdy. Protecting them with other ships and allowing them to function as fire support vessels is wise.
