Factional variants of the Valkyrie
Civilian Pirate Rebellion


The Donald Chick Rebel Valkyrie is a Rebellion ship in Escape Velocity Nova. In order to purchase this ship, you must have been reassigned to the intelligence division of the Rebellion.

"Another of Donald Chick's efforts in starship redesign. In his younger days, Sir Donald had an old T7 model Valkyrie that he hotrodded in his spare time. Much of what went into that now legendary craft (the 'Lucalia' is still his personal ship) now provides the punch behind the next generation of Rebellion starships. The updated Valkyrie breathes new life into the design, adapting some of the micro-furnace technology from the Starbridge for its engines. Truly a triumph for Sir Donald and his crew." ― Buying a Rebel Valkyrie

The ever-popular Valkyrie, updated and given the Rebellion's characteristic green paint job. This Rebel Valkyrie serves the Rebellion as a fast-responder, a gunboat and a courier. The Rebellion has also upgraded its engines from chemical rockets to newer thorium-based nuclear engines, explaining the blue engine glow. 

Stats[]

"Sir Donald himself shows you over this Valkyrie. «She's as hot as we can get her,» he says. «I've used every trick I know, and my guys have pulled miracles out of their hats getting some of these modifications to work.» He sighs. «In truth, you know, this Valk is probably even faster than 'Lucalia'.» He looks fondly up at his pride and joy parked two bays above you. «But don't let her hear you say that,» he grins." ― Hiring a Rebel Valkyrie

Wild Variants[]

Shipvariant stat changes are relative to the stats of the basic model. The basic model is Rebel Valkyrie, Class II.

The following shipvariants are unavailable in the shipyard and must be captured in the field.

Class III (#344)[]

Stats

This shipvariant sports far greater shield regeneration in exchange for a lot of speed and some equipment space, so the Class III can be described as a disappointment.

Class IV (#345)[]

Stats

This shipvariant straps railguns and a lot of Radar Missiles to a very fast frame.

Class V (#346)[]

Stats

It's blazingly fast, pretty durable and has great missiles, railguns, plus point-defence.

Gameplay Analysis[]

Rebel Valkyrie Shipyard

"An excellent escort ship, and a very deadly opponent, beware IV and V class Valks. The fact that I usually see these ships escorting other powerful ships, and rarely on their own, adds to their strength. Class V Valks are especially dangerous, as they are perfectly happy hanging back and firing their railguns and hellhounds at you or your enemy." ― EVula Survival Guide

The Rebel Valkyrie is a very economical ship and a great choice for any new rebel. The R.V.II is better than the P.V.II in every way. The R.V.V is just as fast as the P.V.IV (an achievement in itself) but has 50 less equipment space. All it really has over the P.V.IV is slightly better shielding, a lower disable threshold and a long ranged loadout. Still, this remains a very good and stylish ship.

Images[]

The Rebel Valkyrie was probably made by Dave Williams, but it could also have been a remodel of a Scott Vardy original.
