because you didnt put full assault on them, there's no reason for ai to stay back when they didnt have any shield to over fluxed. backpedaling only happen when the ship it self already get on high flux situation.

Flux on the limit!

This a an old version. Prometheus was way stronger back then

Old version years ago. Prometheus was way more powerful back then.

I ain't risking my main damage dealer on the frontline unless it's an Onslaught

I know this is from months ago, but I think it has to do with your knowledge of the game than the game itself, since it's fairly easy to get a capital ship early in the old vanilla versions of the game if you knew what to do. Although I agree with you that the game is far more engaging when you have very few ships and credits to work with - having to shitty (but workable) improvised ship builds that you can scrounge up with your limited assets.

all vanilla, no mod

This doesnt look like it has any mods lol, and this is a single player game why would you cheat in it

just change the game version requirements, it's stable enough to be say safe

@@friendlyroughai3319 how do I do that?

@@michatomaszewski9388 i would link a youtube guide but that would probably get my comment deleted

We need more hull mods that act like the Intergrated Point Defence AI hull mod where, when you S-mod it into the ship and it changes the priorities that the AI responds to with it's weapons systems.

I've put it on AI and it worked alright. It'd probably be better if I just used HILs doe.

nah, i real combat its more like 1v3 rather that 1v10, even again costume bounty frigate reaper spam from gladiator society mods its not that hard to deal with reaper spam.

that's why you invest with a lot of PDs

an onslaught build is only as good as its pd, since you cant dodge, and you dont have flux stats to tank

it might pack a punch but has no real flux management compared to actual combat situations like you said yourself. the glaring weakness of the executors is that they have a high flux disspotion already. ontop of bad maneuverability. So you need to balance weapon choice while also still having good weapons. graviton are received pretty well with with 96a.so make good use of those. HVD's are a must for this, most seem to be going with HIL's for the large energy mount. Squalls at this point just seem to be the most prefered large missile mount choice period. it has lock on abilities while also packing a punch if connecting to shields. flux conduits and flux distributors are just vital for this along with the standard ECCM, integrated targeting unit for more range, and expanded missile rack

We already have some, Syndrian Hammerheads and at least one cruiser, one of midline ones

Love watching Tachyon Lance destroy ships. I put them on my Apogees.

Self-sustaining missiles are perfect for fighting a long battle. Once you are out of Squalls, you are out of Squalls. Use Squalls if you want something important dead asap and make the rest of the fleet fall apart.

pilum are more friendly to control and dont need manual firing like squall it also have unlimited ammo and made the ships stay much longer in combat, also it have emp bonuses that able to disable enemy weapons when get hit.

why pilum anyway ever on anything? Some ships are faster than that missile. Unlimited PD fudder.

Yeah, Pilums are hot garbage. I'm yet to see any situation where they do anything whatsoever besides waking up PD from time to time. Most of the time I don't even notice they exist and end up just tanking them on the open armor, and absolutely nothing happens.

Forget squalls, you don’t really need or want sustained pressure with this type of build imo. Lose the pilums and eccm and throw even just tac lasers on the front two small energy mounts. Get flux distributor and throw the remaining op in caps.

And the lack of EMP. Imagine what a few Omens mixed in would have done...

@@dylanschulz9118 The ship is immune to EMP

​@@Roy.404.Not immune. Highly resistant to EMP, as the resistances have diminishing returns.

There was plenty of HE from the opposing Onslaught and the Dominator with two Hellborers nearly took him out. Likewise there were the Sunder, Falcon and Eagle with what looked like 6 Ion Beams going at him at the same time. So, plenty of EMP and yet the brute offensive flux available to this Onslaught overpowered them all

A lowtech ship that flies like hightech

grav beam for ai, player used autolace for more burst damage, also hill are better that tachyon lance if you consider ai used

Why 6 Graviton? Isn't 3 all you need for +10% damage to shields?

@@Hardwaregeekx, Put them in separate firing groups maybe?

@@Jaydee-wd7wr I tried putting more Gravitons and they do work better. The AI don't tend to fire the autolance unless the shield is broken. And it does very little damage to shields and armor. So in the end despite what I thought was a measly 75 (150 vs shields) damage from the gravitons, they actually work better.

i kinds mistake for the polarized part but, high dmg from tpc are mean as anti shield and not for constant dps, you can easily get over 1k dps or more just from tpc and combine with build in ammo mag it also increase their dps by 50% because the limit factor of tpc was slow ammo regen and nothing else. better vent dont mean anything significant, tpc are the only reason why it have so high flux, tpc cost it around 1k flux to full burst and without tpc all guns including 3 mjolnir only cost around 2k, and when you consider how efficient tpc was it hard to debate why you should waste another op for KE weapons when tpc can do both work as anti shield and armor. pd ai keep you safe from annihilator rocket, without pd ai my onslaught will likely diea from enemy onslaught that fire their annihilator at short range

@@friendlyroughai3319 the "weapon flux/second is based on the Pre-S-modded *sustained* DPS of the TPCs, not how much they generate when firing full auto. 2 Mjolnir generate 666 flux/second, you can only vent 1392/second. so every time you're shooting with all 3 (which is often when there's multiple targets in range) you are losing DPS on your main target at max flux i feel the OP saved from dropping IPDAI for all dual flaks and maybe some vulcans will do you better overall

Energy weapon buff works for energy weapon types, not with ballistic weapon types with energy damage. Mjolnir cannon does not benefits from energy mastery skill.

@@rep227 onslaught main weapons is TPC not the mjolnir, TPC are energy weapons

@@friendlyroughai3319 You're right but still people may have confused I wanted to clarify that.
