The slipknot is a tier 5 ship,the newer version found in recent AOWs,the original one found in kcst.It features 1 moderate pulse and 4 side lasers,2 on front,2 on back.They are fired at a low rate,making stunlocking enmies hard.It is also not quite heavy,which is a thing to be careful about.
The mcst version fires a pulse of approximately 30/50 damage,like the Mercury.The 4 side lasers are fired exactly in the X-warrior pattern,even position wise,but is narrower and deals less damage.It is recommended to use it like an aetos,with a bit more of hit and run.
