I can disable a tovera with an SV that has a single laser, takes 10minutes ...but ooh boy is it fun!

[@lyfeforse7038]

SVs can exploit so many blind spots on enemy ships and bases. Fun times :)

Did the Quantums survive the Artillery barrage?

[@lyfeforse7038]

In this case, yes. It's not surgical, it's messy

[@bookittysdad]

@@lyfeforse7038 I just tested it on 2 Tovera's and both of them, the Quantums survived. But, they did take some damage, so the need to hit in front of the core is paramount.

Would be farming this ship very soon, can I possibly get a list of the turrets u had on this ship

[@lyfeforse7038]

Heavy laser, heavy positrons, and EMP cruise missles to bring the shields down.

Much appreciated for the info and quick response

Get Modulated Gammas and EMPs for faster shield take-down. @@jiberrr

[@hizzlefix1781]

How to set ur guns to target ? Im making a ship with mainly positron guns atm but will add some more how would u suggest to use those? settgins?

[@lyfeforse7038]

I have a few options I go with. One is disable a ship by first getting the rear thrusters knocked out to disable movement, so I can then dictate the fight. At this point i'll concentrate on clearing a single ship facing of turrets, i.e. top/bottom etc, after which I'll board the ship from that direction, and this leaves other turrets to salvage. The other option, if I have a lot of artillery player weapons for example, i'll just let my turrets target enemy turrets, while I pound away at the enemies core and disable a ship that way. This is the most efficient for preserving a ship for salvage, but usually is a high CPU cost to get there, for the weapon loadout. However you roll, ALWAYS set your positrons to attack drones, as those are some of the best point defense weapons, given their hit-scan speed

[@alexleve1604]

Ah the good old days of 50 Quant ships. Killing a Tovera by sneezing at it. But seriously even in 10/10 servers this is still viable as a strategy but a lot hairier. Ypu had room for near max or max shields and 12/12 fixed and enough laz0rs and EMP Cruise to make this fast enough for shield to stay very healthy. Same can be done in HWS RE server for example but you will be at 20%s shield and with a ship made of carbon to save the cpu for all the bells and whistles.

[@lyfeforse7038]

XD Right now I have the build spawning in at 2.07 / 2.1 mill for RE version. Coming with 8x laser cannons, 6x laser turrets, 4x missle turrets, and 7x miniguns. When upgraded on 10/10 servers, it'll be robust, and for 10/10/10 servers, such as Anvil, even more so. This build for vid was shot with that 10/10/10 configuration, and with a more sensible expenditure of CPU, the 10/10 results wouldn't be too far off this one.

[@giorgiogiorgi932]

with 2.1 mill cpu, tovera disables you after 2 seconds

[@lyfeforse7038]

@@giorgiogiorgi932 Of course. Fortunately it has space to place all CPU extenders AUX, Quantum etc. at which point you can go trash some Toveras

hey nice video !! How do you get so much CPU bro ??

[@lyfeforse7038]

That was RE1 with extra CPU from server devices

[@RollinShultz]

I wonder what would happen if I brought that ship into RE2. I would have to replace all the thrusters that's a given. But the weapons...RE2 only allows 2 heavy weapons and four medium weapons. Would the rest be deleted when spawned? Hmmm. Still I like the technique and will try it.

[@lyfeforse7038]

Yeah, that will be a tough conversion into RE2. Maybe with all the cores, and lighter blocks in some areas it will be doable

[@nokurt1]

Nice fight. I've just built this ship. Which turrets do you use?

[@lyfeforse7038]

Personally, I like positrons, plasma, lasers. EMP cruise for shield removal.

[@vincentk5783]

Not sure if this strategy is worth it though. You fired 12 artillary cannons into the top of the CPU room to kill it. That should mean the 2 quantums, all the CPU extenders, and the ultra rare and rare loot egg are blown away. Killing a Tovera and getting no Quantum Extenders is a big waste of time. If the quantums are still there cool, but i do not see how thats possible. When you shoot it from that angle with artillery.

[@lyfeforse7038]

They were both still there. RNG

[@sora4kairi2]

How hard is Tovera class compared to lets say Drone matrix? Wanna go up against em but dont really wanna lose my ship .

[@lyfeforse7038]

The drone matrix couldn't even hold a candle to Tovera's firepower, and the Matrix as with other Drone builds, has a very slow shield recharge. So while a good spin/corkscrew maneuver build would be ideal for dodging Drone fire, you could still handle a Matrix with a wider range of 2.1 million builds, far easier than an Tovera.

[@sora4kairi2]

@@lyfeforse7038 I have no issues with drone matrix haha. Now at 9 aux but not sure how to kit my ship to go up against tovera. It decimated my shields pretty fast(I was at ~43k).

[@lyfeforse7038]

@@sora4kairi2 Bastion shield is a good start to slow the shield stripping effects of a Tovera, if you're willing to farm prog frags. Not only are you getting a higher shield pool to start, but Bastion gets an innate energy weapon resistance, which energy weapons are a bane to shields. So the effects of total shield value that Bastion is adding, is actually far more than raw numbers. When engaged, just make sure not to get your shield stripped off, as the warm up time is a lengthy minute. Handle that, and you'll be fine

[@DanDobrii]

in 1.9 RE this ship can beat tovera ?

[@ferncamper4433]

You forget to mention that you have a 5+ mio CPU ship with all that turrets and shields. "Normal" players would not be able to do this. I noticed for myself that in Reforged Eden you have a lot of henn egg paradoxes. You want to get more CPU you need parts from NPC where for you need a much bigger ship with much more weapons which mean more cpu which means you have to kill that enemies which gives you the parts which you cant without bigger ship... so stupid game designe in my opinion... but correct me if iam wrong

[@lyfeforse7038]

No, for CPU you can get aux cores fairly easy. Flying a core 9 SV inside a capacitor matrix, then disabling the core without blowing up the gens will get you 120+ drone parts, which it takes 100 for an aux core. The rest of the mats can be farmed trouble free. With a core 9 + 10 aux, you can take on what you need to any quantums you want at that point.

[@AlphaOfCrimson]

Not a big fan of risking the quants like that. Nice ship though.

[@thirdworldrider6991]

you have a 10mil cpu ship lol.

[@wswanberg]

Now try it with CPU limits turned on.

[@xKrave13]

The ship's CPU is within the limit though

[@lyfeforse7038]

Yes, that was within CPU for Anvil server and at max for aux cores, quantums, and hamsters + ship core. For a standard RE server, the shield depletion on the Tovera would be a little slower, though if optimized by taking out kinetic turrets, and just using artillery to punch through the core, the experience shouldn't be too dissimilar for other RE servers

[@wswanberg]

@@lyfeforse7038 Fair enough. I guess the server I play on is just a bit more difficult. We are limited to 10 aux/10 quant. No way to fit that quantity of weapons/turrets within those limits.

[@lyfeforse7038]

@@wswanberg for sure not, but there are some measures to bridge the gap. I had more thrust than was required, and extra's like a couple constructors that could have come out etc. which could add more. Maybe i'll get around to doing a vid for Tovera and various other targets, and show CPU usage, turret config indepth etc.

[@SliFallen]

@@wswanberg Yep. This loadout is Impossible with block limits on. I CHOOSE to keep them on, because I like playing Empyrion Galactic SURVIVAL, not Empyrion Glalactic God Mode. ;-)

[@JaximusPrime88]

237k shields........? 10 Mil CPU? WTF is this? Aside from overkill... And by the looks of it, very late game. Not great for trying to start to get quantums by any means. This is a "I play single player and spawn what I want so I can get what I want" ship by the looks of it lol.

[@lyfeforse7038]

What do people do with the accumulated wealth of farming cores in RE? This is an answer. It's a endgame ship for RE, that people can sink all of their gains into as a platform of pure destruction. Good for server play as well
