Subverter

"The Subverter was developed by Spectre R&D to create a hull than excels at spreading debuffs amongst groups of enemies. Featuring multiple hangar slots, the hull is able to provide long range support for its allies."

General
The Subverter is the Spectre faction's second debuffer, focusing more heavily on defense. It fires bursts of radial missiles like the Retaliation overdrive when in Prime Shift, applying various debuffs to enemies that are hit.

Like other Tier 9 Spectre ships, the Subverter can recharge its shields even after being fully depleted.

Advantages
The Subverter has similar durability as the Switch, making it a good damage absorber. Yet, its main purpose is to apply a wide range of debuffs through its overdrive as well as equipped squadrons such as the Inferno Squadron and Reach Squadron, greatly hampering the enemy fleet.

It has a high base Prime Shift Charge, which when combined with its large number of defensive slots, enables it to reach Prime Shift Active much quicker.

The most useful debuffs done by its overdrive are: Stasis, enabling your fleet to kite lesser range ships; Weapon Disrupted, considerably decreasing the damage output of the enemy fleet; and Shield Disruption, resulting in more damage dealt directly to the hull even in the absence of Shield Bypass. Since the overdrive fires missiles in every direction and pierces through targets, it is extremely difficult to avoid, usually resulting in the entire enemy fleet being affected by at least one of these debuffs.

While Prime Shift is active, it not only gains defensive bonuses but also provides a significant boost to its squadrons, making them much more likely to reach the enemy and thus apply debuffs before being destroyed.

It deals extra damage to enemy spawned ships and squadrons, making it a good control ship in battle.

Disadvantages
The Subverter has rather poor offense, with a very limited number of weapon slots and only a single firing arc. Although its hangar slots may make up for it, they are not nearly as reliable because the damage output of squadrons is reduced upon taking damage.

The Ablative Suppressed and Phase Hacked debuffs from its overdrive are useless against other Tier 9 ships.
