Built upon the experience gained by years of Colonial shipbuilding, the Nyx class is the most advanced Fighter type available in the Republic. The lessons learned from the Eros class light Fighter design as well as the study of hostile flight tactics have been combined to a deadly weapon. Its unmatched speed and unrelenting brutality as well as the simple maintenance make this vessel the Colonial fleets standard fighter.

Handling

Outdated Review (4.86)

Review (4.86) The Nyx is, in my opinion, one THE BEST VHF's available. Statistically, it's average in almost every possible way. Average VHF hull, average Power Source, average just about everything. The reason I think this ship is one the best VHF's is how underrated it is and well, let's face it, it looks absolutely beautiful. The handling on it is a bit deceptive. It handles as well as most Heavy Fighters but the thin, angular design makes it hard to hit from almost any direction. My recommended loadout is 2 Pulse weapons and 4 Purple Goddesses with either a Cruise Disrupter or Mini-Razor. If you switch between the two you can quickly grind down any enemy's shield and hull while staying maneuverable enough to take minimal damage yourself and coupled with the one shot burst damage of a Mini-Razor you can easily take on some of the larger gunships if you keep moving, which is where this ship stands out against most every other VHF. In the hands of a skilled pilot, this ship can lay waste to entire fighter wings and look sexy while doing it. Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Review by Vyticoz
