The name of the game for this patch has really been "Synergy". So many weapons now complement each other better; so many ship builds come together much more cleanly and with fewer s-mods and weird officer builds being needed. And of course s-mod bonuses and penalties changing the way we value certain hull modifications brings a new layer to ship design.

[@hideshisface1886]

Speaking of mixes... With recent addition of Pilum catapult I've been toying with the ideas of infinite missile spam... And midline and low tech mix works hilariously for that. Don't get me wrong, this is beyond sub-optimal. But seeing a pegasus spitting infinite waves of 24 pilums with each volley... On top of Pilums thrown by Conquest, and by XIV Legion, and by Champions... A thing of beauty - it is absolutely stupid and I love it - enemy AI gets kind of silly, trying to comprehend the literal rain of slow missiles creeping towards it. Also - good to finally see Eagles get some love. I'm personally running very much standard build, with hypervelocity drivers, mauler, grav beams and ion beam. Just giving them salamanders. This is basically anti-shield/EMP build. It stays at good range, it doesn't kill quickly, but it tends to outlast and chip away any other cruiser, and even bigger targets. Salamanders don't do much actual damage, but I noticed plenty of ships tend to turn around to deal with them - and this gives Eagle some time to vent, if it needs.

Heavy MGs with Elite PD are a good substitute for Arbalests on the Eagles. They're 650 su base range compared to 700 su and are one of the strongest and most efficient kinetics. Big fan of the Arbalest too. Against weak targets it deals good damage to the armor and the higher base damage cause a higher shield burst compared to the continuous Railguns.

I like the opinion on hyper velocity drivers! I play modded and have ninth battlegroup in. Which often come in massive raid fleets up to 2-3 of them. Had a high tech battlestation. Slapped a couple hypervelocity drivers on a fat ship with as much range as I could fit and was able to defend as a long range artillery support. It fits the role it's given, and you can't push with it or get pushed otherwise you'll have issues.

Having never seen omega weapons, it took me about 15 minutes to come to grips with the fact that this is actually vanilla ;u; I need to find some of these immediately.

[@GlenoWarrior]

I'm really liking Eagles this version, and they follow engage and defend position orders effectively. But with escort orders they still frequently fail to face the closest ship to them, wasting their main kinetic damage potential. I stopped using escort orders on them a long time ago after seeing them get chewed on from the side while they pretend it's not happening.

[@EadTaes]

I use Heavy auto cannons but maybe I am just a noob. Sometimes I put them on enforcers to generate a wall of lead. But I use them on conquest with with other that have 900 base range. Current conquest build I have in current playthgough is: 2x large pillums, 2x med pillums, 2x mjolnir, 2 devestaror, 4x HAC. Mod are: ATG(S) AWM(S), ITU, HS, BR, SS with 50 point cap and 45 vent. First build used Hespatus instead of mjolnir, was cool for the dakka but the energy dmg works better. My eagles provide the PD power with with their Thunder wins to preject power further away instead of missiles. Converted hanger with Thunder was cheaper than almost all missile combo with reloaders, Salamanders is only missile I would put on eagles honestly. But I ratter have more cap/vents instead.

You will find them if you explore the blue giants in your sector. There are special enemies that will show up orbiting really close to them, but only in 2 systems per save file. They don't respawn, so you only get to defeat them once, but they drop a lot of special loot like the weapons you see here.

I like tachyon lances. I have an addiction to BEAMSZ.

[@stallfighter]

One interesting thing you can try on Eagle in addition to already mentioned elite PD is a Ballistic rangefinder + 3 Light Double ACs. You will get the same 700 base range, and while it seems to be 6 OP less efficient, you are in fact gaining some because it is a much "colder" weapon setup with more effective anti-shield DPS.

BBE has done a few videos about the Odyssey. The AI really needs the right weapons to shine with it " and putting a high level officer in it makes the difference." One of his videos he did heavy plasma for player build and pulse for the AI. The weapons are kind of what dictate the AI to do whatever it does. Timid or Cautious officers want LONG range " 800 - 1000+ range " weapons, but a Timid officer will gladly unload missiles at the right times instead of dud firing them. Just keep trying it out and see what you like :D

[@bigbrainenergyguy]

Ships in the game are categorized by their "design type" which are primarily 3 categories: low-tech, midline, and high-tech. These different types have different visual and gameplay design with low-tech ships usually being brownish with heavy armor while high tech tend to be painted blue and have stronger shields.
