the problem with the whole "pathers should be scared of me" thing is: pathers are insane and would see themselves as martyrs sacrificed in an attempt to kill the servant of moloch.

That's true to a degree, but cotton says they "have better things to die for" in reference to fighting you over the clone. If they have a good enough reason to fight you they may martyr themselves, but the fleets that pick a fight with you have no more reason to do so than cotton does.

I found a way to avoid the explosion from the Janus test less than a day before the premiere of this video. If you hover next to the gate (so that your indicator circle / drive bubble overlaps the gate a little), you can hit the Transverse Jump button. Then, once the timer gets to about 7/8 (or as close as possible to finishing but before your first ship makes the jump), click on the gate. You can interact with it normally, get the mission done, and then you're back in hyperspace before the explosion hits! Even if you mis-time it a little, like at the 3/4 mark, you'll still save yourself a decent chunk of supplies since the explosion sets all your ships' CR to basically 0 and damages the heck out of the hulls. There's also the "fly there in nothing but a single Phantom" method, but that requires juggling your fleet around and is a bit time-consuming.

"At least TryTachion is honest about cutthroat they are.

That's why IEDs should be vanilla IMO. Any pather fleet with a few IEDs would still target the player. Or just change their behaviour to be afraid, but like other comments pointed it out, their faith would maybe just cause them to attack anyways.

from your experience, how well does the AI handle fast glass-cannon type ships like the Odyssey, Fury, Aurora, Shrike etc etc? I've had pretty good success with a duo of AI-controlled SO Auroras with Anti-matters and Reapers. They seem to do just fine with that ship, so i wonder if i should gear my entire fleet around fast hit-and-run tactics, if that's even possible for the AI

Dude, not matter how high i make the defense number, you can still lose at like 50K+ defense. The game says my defenses are overwhelmingly strong against the AI inspection and they STILL manage to steal cores from me. It has been a thing since forever and its not gonna change so i dont risk it. Its too random for my taste. Reloading doesnt help UNLESS you actually manage to reach the system and..do nothing. Yeah, sometimes just being there makes the RNG change for some reason and they just fail.
