Deathseeker

Deathseekers are agile drones found in neutral sectors that use 3 sawblades to shred other ships in melee combat. Deathseekers tend to spawn in groups of 3. As soon a deathseeker has been damaged by 70% it will be 40% faster. Deathseekers can be rendered helpless if their engineering system is destroyed, as without engineering they can't move to melee. There is a sector commander version of deathseekers called the Deathwarden.

Battle Strategy
Deathseekers are brutal ships that can easily destroy a player ship with one or two hits, however their weakness comes from their dependence on melee. A ship with a fast engine can easily outmaneuver deathseekers and targeting a deathseeker's engineering systems will cripple them entirely. Programs such as Sitting Duck can be used to achieve this goal as well. Destroying deathseekers with the "swift" prefix may be the best option as speed is the biggest advantage a deathseeker can have.
