Void Destroyer 2 Big Red

Void Destroyer 2 Big Red is a DLC for veteran players, with two alternate starts built around late-game mechanics. In one of these playthroughs, you command the Big Red, a damaged drill ship carrier that lacks its usual armaments and abilities. You need funds and skills to repair and upgrade it; once restored, it can become one of the most powerful ships in the sector.

The Diggers

The Diggers were the region’s original inhabitants, but were pushed to its edges after ore-rich fields were discovered. They became outcasts and converted their old mining ships for war. Designed for the hazards of asteroid fields, these ships carry short-range scatter guns, rock crushers and drills.

The Diggers’ identity centered on their big drill ships. The Big Red was one of the last: a dread carrier and mini dreadnought armed with three drills. It was built to carve up enormous asteroids for base building, but can also cut through capital ships.

Ships

The DLC expands Void Destroyer 2’s ship lineup with these vessels:

• Big Red: a light dreadnought that can build ships and pulverize anything in its path.
• Tytus: a frigate armed with a drill weapon.
• Condor: a heavy corvette with torpedo launchers, modified from the Crane.
• Crane: a transport ship.
• Crusher: a light corvette mining ship modified for combat.
• Buzzard: a heavy gunship armed with two turreted scatter guns.
• Vulture: a heavy fighter armed with two scatter guns.
• Welder: a repair ship.
• Loader: a modified Welder that can disable ships’ engines on contact, helping the Big Red bring its close-range weapons to bear.
