GAMEPLAY INFO/TIPS:Blackrock ships have bad to mediocre shields, average armor, good flux stats, excellent mobility, lots of firepower, and mix all weapon types. Every Blackrock ship has a built-in boost to active flux vent rate, meaning they can easily reset flux if given a breather: something you'll want to be doing often, due to the low endurance afforded by your shields.
They are excellent at crushing valuable targets and picking apart slow, but powerful ships. On the other hand, they struggle in fights where they can't find any breathing room for hit-and-run attacks, or against a numerically superior enemy that can flank and surround them. Using the faction's weapons, ships can be built for either high risk/high reward play, or low risk/low reward play. Certain ships break the mold and afford different playstyles.
