The Nidhogg is a multi-role class line ship in the Cylon fleet. The Nidhogg is an extremely favoured ship due its look and its amount of weapons. However due to the high merit cost to upgrade, un-upgraded Nidhoggs are more common amongst players level 50 and under. It is an extremely effective ship however. It is one of the most common ships to see in fleet battles amongst higher levels.
Due to its high weaponry and loads of energy, it is common to see pilots use the Nidhogg as a 'Missile Boat'.
However due to the addition of side blindspots and the increase in size of the rear blindspot, the mighty Nidhogg's use has seen some decine due to being the ease with which experienced strke pilot can get into the blindspots and cause severe damage now and escorts that enter a blindspot are capable of destroying a Nidhogg with ease.
"The few Nidhogg class hulls so far recovered have all suffered extensive damage in what appears to have been the last major engagement in this sector before it was abandoned. Although they require massive investment to bring back into service, these formidable warships are capable of being configured for a variety of tactical applications and have few weaknesses.
As a Multi-role heavy attack vessel, the Nidhogg can be equipped with a more balanced selections of Hull, Engine and Computer systems than other line ships."
