SCv Scylla

Original SCv Scylla

If the SCv Moloch class of corvettes led you to think that the Shivans can only fail with corvette designs the Scylla will quickly change your mind. This corvette is incredibly fast and is also armed to the teeth: its 5 beam cannons are usually enough to wipe out warships of corvette size and below and threaten destroyers.

Description:

Inferno R1 Description

The Scylla is the most fearsome corvette in the Shivan arsenal. Extremely fast, well-armed and heavily shielded against our weapons, it is a dire threat to our cruisers and corvettes, and can lash out against destroyers with its heavy forward cannon. Fortunately, its weapons are rather weak and its point defence armament is relatively poor, with only a handful of laser turrets and a pair of AAA beams.

Developer Notes

HTL version of the Scylla comes in two versions. First features three beam cannons on the biggest front arms along with couple additional turrets and the second is drag'n'drop replacement for Scylla in Inferno Release 1.

It's the first model release of Nyctaeus. Has very inefficient UV layout, so using 4096px texture is recommended. Texture was baked from vanilla tiles and parts of textures of SSD Bhaal.

Name origin

Scylla is a sea monster that appears in Homer's Odissey and threatens Ulysses and his crew of survivors.

Veteran Comments

Please read the Veteran Comments policy before editing this section.

Very strong opponent in Inferno Release 1 when it comes to capship combat. With a single LRed on her nose and four additional medium beams, this corvette technically has higher firepower than a Demon or a Ravana, but most ships in INFR1 have much more hitpoints to balance more beams. Her point-defenses are mostly blob turrrets so if you avoid pair of SAAAs, you should be fine. HTL version replaces the spinal cannon with three medium beams, but turret layout is otherwise almost identical. Both Exile and Inferno: Nostos use the version with three spinal beams.
