Creeper

The Creeper is a bolt cannon that can be bought from a merchant at Tonnsburg (or alternatively the arms merchant at the home base trade annex, once you have unlocked the second module) and is likely to be the second bolt cannon the player will acquire after the starting Flekk. Compared to the Flekk, it has a lower rate of fire and fires slower bolts, but it possesses a significantly increased range and does slightly more damage, thus making it more efficient than the Flekk since both bolt cannons consume one unit of scrap metal per shot. The lower projectile speed requires the player to aim further ahead of moving ships however, making it less useful at range against the nimble icer ships.
