Where the Abyss Trekker truly shines is in its devastating firepower. It features Missiles, Particle Beams, and Ballistics weaponry with absurdly high damage numbers. It allows you to melt any opposing ship that comes your way.
The Abyss Trekker also has a respectable 27 max ship energy to play around with and more than decent Hull and Shield health. Though you’ll destroy enemy ships so fast, they likely won’t even scuff the paint.
