Finnaly. A vanilla ship that can go toe to toe with modded ones! The battle will be legendary!!

Thats why i don't use op modded ships

[@crimsonlanceman7882]

has a pure low tech mix fleet "uses wasps and xyphos" AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[@Aereto]

I know the Invictus is significantly less effective without an officer, but having damage control and combat endurance can make a difference even in capitals. It excels what the Paragon cannot: maintain an expandable kill zone. AI try to stay close then keep distance out of range, but the rangefinding extends into their kite range. That alone opens opportunities for an immediate slaughter of anyone caught in the spreading range. The fact being they are hardppoints mean the recoil is reduced significantly.

[@DCdabest]

Give them Armour Turrets and have that recoil drop further as well as increase the durability. It's a Space Brick of Doom.

​@@DCdabestIts a modern "Space rock" lol

[@TheyCalledMeT]

playing starsector not piloting a ship yourself is like playing a racing game just telling the car to overtake and watch whats happening

man seeing ody in npc fleets bringed me joy at first, then i saw how bad its ai actually is. hope they do something with it because its my favourite bc. you can absolutely solo some crazy fleets with it, and it can shit on everything it wants if it has space to move

[@radioman5825]

in player hands yes ody is so powerfull, but bad when AI use it. overal AI still incompetent using broad side ship

[@DaniRadriendil]

The problem is the NPC Odys always have symmetrical loadouts, so the combat AI doesn't know which part of the ship to point at the enemy. Put your broadside on one side, and only PD weapons on the other, and the AI will fly it just fine.

[@KazzoKiller3890]

Dude, what you did to that Astral was savage

[@kwcamp4487]

Nice video! btw, you can disable whiteout in the settings now. Could be easier on the eyes

[@ewanlee6337]

Why did you get duel flak up front when devastator is cheaper? Devastators can also really help kill frigates that try to flank.

[@MisterG_Gaming]

Fun to see Condors! Does it work well vs 3 Ordos?

[@radioman5825]

no it doesnt, i dont know for some reason AI become more incompetent using invictus at RC10

[@MisterG_Gaming]

@@radioman5825 AI is more careful to use its shield on RC10. Do you think it makes sense?

[@radioman5825]

@@MisterG_Gaming steady officer in RC 10 become too cautious even with surplus flux meanwhile agresive officer has suicidal tendency. i dunno for me it doesnt make playing experience better.

[@DCdabest]

The AI in general seems a little goofier than before in the current build. More collisions and more flying across my line of fire. Had my Hyperion teleport *into* my Tachyon Lance path half a second before I fired it. Very silly stuff. On the other hand the AI is much more responsive to direct commands like Direct Retreat and Eliminate so idk what is going on there.

[@vonfaustien3957]

I hate this thing. I got in a fight with some alied forces took the rest of the fleet and the dumb ass AI alies decided to hug the stupid thing despite nit having guns big enough to take it out in a reasonable time so my options were lose a crap ton of rep by just blasting the hell out of it and taking the friendly fire or waiting untill its big guns either managed to take out the Frigates and corvettes swarming it or they managed to go death a thousand cuts on it neither of which would be fast

doom would solo it with bombs

An amazing you you absolutely need to be commisioned or have rich colonies to sustain. Check the minimum crew requirements and cringe at the cost.

ordinance point, i have to make sure my invictus didnt overload after 1 lidar array salvo
