DX-5 "Missiler"
The DX-5 “Missiler” is a ship split into two parts: one for harrying the enemy with smaller attacks and vented fumes while the other launches powerful Seeker Missiles from far away.
The DX-5 is one of two “Missiler” class enemy ships in the game, not to be confused with the DX-3 “Missiler” of Zone 2.
Strategy
Attacks
The DX-5 only has one action, below, which it executes every turn.
| Image | Details |
|---|---|
| Attack 2 from left missile bay, add Fumes to discard from cockpit, attack 1 from central missile bay, launch Seeker Missiles from right missile bay |
Evasion
The DX-5 will consistently move to re-center its attacking missile bays on your ship, keeping its weak, concussable Seeker Missile bay as far away as possible.
Tips and Tricks
If you have the mobility for it, hitting the weak, concussable missile bay on the right to cancel the Seeker Missile launches is always the safest bet.
The DX-5 has no way of scaling. Since it only deals a maximum of 5 damage each turn, it is also feasible to simply block all of the incoming damage every turn at this point in the loop.

 Stay out of this sector.
 Huh? Why?
The messed up ship in that glowing... asteroid... thing?
It's gotta have some kind of exotic tech. And it's gonna be mine.
Oh, good to know!

You again.
 Hey, you've been loitering around the Cobalt for a while, right?
It's called the Cobalt?
Huh? Yeah. Have you been taking sensor readings of it? They'd be really helpful for me!
Oh, I don't know. Maybe? When I stole this ship, it didn't come with the manual.

| Subsequent Encounters with Dizzy #2 |

|
Oh look, here comes the science nerd. Gonna give me a science fact?
Yeah! The Cobalt's emission spectrum is mostly gamma rays, which -
 I was being facetious!
|
| Subsequent Encounters with Dizzy #3 |

 Hey... the gamma rays you mentioned last time. Is that... safe?
Huh? Oh, absolutely not.
 Lingering at this range around the Cobalt is very bad for your health.
Oh...
Then we better get this fight over with quick.

Dang, Eunice. You hang out with these guys now?
 Hey. HEY. It's Drake in front of non-pirates, c'mon.
Pfft, sure. You've gone soft!
Don't let their dumb faces fool you. These guys hit pretty hard.
If you say so.

Eunice, I never asked...
What happened to that one sidekick you had a few years ago?
Imprisoned? Betrayed? Dead?

Worse.

Do you like my custom engines? They all glow different colors.

| Possible responses | ||
|
Those are absolutely irradiating you, my man.
 Maybe fix the rest of your ship up before tricking out your engines?
 Gotta respect an LED glow-up.
