Starsector 0.96 Ship Guide: Guardian

[@dylanmeek6914]

Great video per usual. You have been a big influence on how I build fleets and trying new things out on my own. Much appreciated sir!

[@MisterG_Gaming]

Thanks! I am happy they can help. 🤘

Great video! The design of the Guardian is really cool and the missile microforge that it has looks pretty op ngl but my fleet had a pretty easy time beating it on my first playthrough lmao. I'll probably try this out on a vanilla playthrough as I'm playing modded rn. Thanks :D

[@MisterG_Gaming]

Thanks! This ship can worth 10 times its deployment. I am pretty sure you will have fun 🤘

We can also drop Gyros hullmod and put 2 vulcans in the front for extra defense. It's your taste but I prefer a better aim with Plasma Jets.

I think the Guardians are suicidal because they're piloted by cores. Made a boardable version and I feel like they "brawl" less even with aggressive officers. The change didn't matter anyway because apparently setting maxbattlesize to 1000 means my fleet gets swarmed in a triple Ordo no matter what I do.

[@MisterG_Gaming]

It's nice to read this since I didn't test with an officer. Probably you are right because my Radiant now try to facetank an army by its own lol. The good old days with version 0.95 🤪

Hi I would like to request AI only Optimal / Mixed builds for early (50)+, mid (250+), and late game (350+) bounties late game build can be 2 with normal and the other is with special ships and weapons. I am also hoping you do that for your other AI builds for low, mid, and hightech fleets

[@MisterG_Gaming]

Thank you for your comment. It was not my immediate intention to redo builds for low tech, midline and high tech. On the other hand, the next ones will be mixed. Everything will depend on whether there is a craze for this type of content. In the meantime, you can write to me if you want suggestions for your early and mid game playthrough.

Do you know any Pegasus builds that the ai is good with? The squall/hurricane one is supposed to be most effective but the ai wastes so many hurricanes with fast missile racks when it hears a kite overload and misses ofcourse The 4 Pilum is surprisingly good but not against remnants

[@MisterG_Gaming]

I've never tried to build a Pegasus. Your build seems to focus on cruisers and capitals (if you plan to fight 3 Remnant fleets at once, you'll struggle). Otherwise, I see people using Locust Swarm; smaller range means more missiles throughout the battle. If you want to try a cursed build that can work: 3 Light Needles, 2 Heavy Needles, 2 Disintegrators, 2 IR Autolance, 3 Locust Swarm, 1 Reality Disruptor, (PD at the bottom). The Locust can take on frigates and destroyers, and also deals decent damage to the hull. Reality Disruptor to EMP and Needlers have 2 different firing delays, meaning the shield will come down more often to apply armor damage from Disintegrators. I hope this build can be interesting for you since it's rare to use 2 types of Needlers and Disintegrators.
