TIME FOR A VENDETTA | REFORGED EDEN | Empyrion Galactic Survival | #42

[@borland8513]

I got gray hair watching the Destroyer "warp away" and leave you with no loot or salvage. I got even more gray hair seeing the utter and complete lack of loot in the shipyard. Luckily, when you showed the repair cost I didn't get more gray hair. . . it fell out.

[@King-Atlas]

to solve the turrets focus problem, put some cannon turrets set only for targeting drones, and focus the rest of your turrets to target and take down enemy weapons first. and the spawners you couldn't destroy is a drone spawner, you can't destroy until you take the core down, i think they added this newly to the game. as always another fun and enjoyable to watch video. cheers.

[@samsquatch7285]

So here is my theory on killing ships. Zirax-kill all turrets first, then thrusters /generators. For tovera, turrets on one side only then generators. For drone nullifiers - target thrusters only and get behind them to take out the rear thrust. Then target generators. This will core them. They travel in pack so you have to kill them all fast as they always die within shooting distance making looting one by one difficult at best. This is much easier with a buddy. As for infectors and decimators, not sure yet... Haven't gotten that far. Previously I think I targeted infector turrets and shot artillery cannons at the "bullseye" to core it. For Decimators, it's been a while but I imagine I would go for turrets and generators but I'm not certain if there is a better tactic.

[@shkotayd9749]

Dnt feel bad Spanj. I talked a few MP players to take 3 CVs to try on the Tovera as i had already beat it with a full geared battleship. None of us knew about the shield glitch. They got in, dropped the shields and fired nonstop for 10 mins, losing 2 CVs and evacuating with one heavily damaged one. The Tovera had this glitch and they failed to spot it into well too late lol. POIs of some types have this too. You have to bomb the shield gen inside. That was the only way I could turn these off.

[@AlienMafia17]

You had laser and guided missiles selected at the same time. Guided missiles are much cheaper and you just bought a lot of lasers

You could probably alternate poking the up and down keys to absorb a lot more damage, since you have top and bottom armor ridges

[@darrenalexander3131]

I took down one of these in vanilla last night, FYI it has 4 T2 genny's mounted in the center section vertically. When you targeted just generators I was thinking this will be a real test!

That imerat put up one hell of a fight. Nasty bugers. I lost 3 sv's to one of those things almost instantly dang the pack a punch.

[@trevorpowdrell5474]

I think with a ship like this the priority should be with a B/F thrusters and you could remove some of the L/R thrusters

[@TheBabsPlayGames]

The Polaris labor rate must be insane for that high of a repair bill.

[@ikynzeak2967]

I love watchin you being hardcore in this game lol xD

[@DoremiFasolatido1979]

Yeah...so unreasonable to maybe 1% of the cost of an entire modern fighter-bomber, for a ship that would qualify as an advanced naval destroyer (more so, because of the sci-fi tech in it). . Should've been closer to 40 billion. Doesn't even matter what the hypothetical exchange rate would be. That price is gonna have 9 zeroes in it...period.

[@HerrWade]

So you would have to take out the generators to keep it from Warping? If you kill it and strip it does that keep it from respawning like bases?

[@Shandril669]

yeah Spanj, check the Polaris local cost multiplier, that one is 8 times more than base repair cost

[@johnpatz8395]

I know this was months ago, but just as a thought experiment, would it have been better if you targeted turrets at first, to reduce incoming fire, and then after being positioned behind him for a minute or so, only then switching to targeting then generators? The idea being take out most of the turrets that can hit you in the position you’re in, putting you under less pressure while working to take out the generators.

[@Skycrusher]

We can't warp while under fire during combat, but the enemy AI can. Interesting.

[@vfrhawk7633]

Stupid question, but how do you go to max speed in cruise so quickly? I always have to hold down shift + w until it gets to it...

[@samsquatch7285]

It's all about ms2. 50 ms2 will get u to 100 in 2 seconds etc

[@vfrhawk7633]

@@samsquatch7285 I assumed I'd missed a keybind that just set your cruise to 100% instanly!

[@samsquatch7285]

@@vfrhawk7633 there is a key bi d to keep ur speed at 100%. It's press left ctrl key while holding w. If u press and hold the ctrl key prior to pressing w, it takes forever to get to 100%. This method is useful when I'm like 5km from an asteroid and have to go to the restroom. I will slowly accelerate to about 30 m/s and then let it fly while I take a break

[@Saragan]

Vendetta did very well :) took down quite a few in 1 episode, my current one is made mostly of basic steel and carbon substrate...how long do you reckon that would last rofl...1 minute?

[@aaroncurtis212]

if you blow the generators will the shields stay down?

[@trg4youtv855]

Dreadnaughts can have 4 quantums Just dont kill generators or try to blow up the core room as that is where the quantums are.

[@sniper20071986]

It is me or you miss some guns after the template repair of the Vendetta?

[@Jay_Dee420]

Wouldn't it be better to have some cheaper turrets on the nose and move the pulse cannons back a bit? I hope you find a quantum extender then you can upgrade your shield generator to T2..

[@Spanj]

Shields T2 already ;) Also, the Workshop version has that idea already implemented, well apart from moving the lasers back but cheaper turrets for better upgrades elsewhere

[@johnemanuel6297]

Couldn't help but notice that the Vendetta uses rockets. Aren't they nerfed in reforged? They seemed to work but do they work as well as other weapons?

[@Spanj]

explosive damage appears to be not working correctly on MP, impact damage is still ok i think

[@iansavage6560]

why have you put weapons in the nose area,if you intend to let the nose be the target ,id personaly move the weapons off to the side out off firing range/targeting

[@Spanj]

They are also decoys in case generators are not the target, mounted weapons almost certainly would be, but while they are not destroyed, may as well use em

[@chriskeith8462]

Have a question, i been playing vanilla. Is eden better like in more content and is it stable?

[@samsquatch7285]

It's stable. More challenging. Hard to get used to the way vehicles move. Much better explosions etc. You need purpose built vehicles (no all purpose stuff). It's meant to extend your game well beyond vanilla, meaning it takes a while to get to endgame and once ur there you still have a lot to do. AI is smarter and harder to defeat. I absolutely love it and doubt I'll ever play vanilla again... I'd suggest joining a mp server and get in a faction or make one with some friends.

[@vermilliontwilight7704]

Most of the space POIs are years out of date and have no shields, poor loot and poor weapon setup. The Reforged variants like the Repair Station are identifiable by their shields, but you kinda need to go looking for the loot. There's like 2 ultra and 3 very rares in that repair station in the two front rooms and in the lower deck. Repair costs at trade stations were set by Eleon and not adapted to their own updated 1.3 market system. In 1.2 and earlier versions repair costs were determined by block recipes and component costs, making each steel block around $8 and a 8x repair cost would make that a fair price. As of 1.3, every device and block has a pre-set market value that the repair operates off that results in the multi-million credit repair costs in vanilla.

I think taking out the thrusters could be a viable option if you wanted to just immobilize the destroyer, go take the shipyard then come back with a full.shield and just take the turrets then

[@JimBloggins1]

@@Spanj I may know of one..

[@Zycrus24_7]

I think the reason it took so long to defang that Imerat class destroyer could be the fact that invisible walls that keep absorbing damage appeared again in 1.3 .... fought a Battlecarrier today took me around 30 mins to defang it, at some point i realised my turrets are shooting but no damage is happening so i changed my firing position, somehow they destroyed it later but then the ship keeps moving even without generator, since the whole ship was so blown up i could see the core easily and shot it as a player then the ship stopped, tried to get inside but then realised i cannot because the stupid invisible walls are blocking me -.-

[@samsquatch7285]

1.3 update causes ships to keep moving after power is turned off. Test it for urself by hitting the y key while ur moving. Pre 1.3,u would stop as soon as u press y. Now u keep moving. As far as invisible wall, that's Ben a problem for a long time on zirax battleships

[@Zycrus24_7]

@@samsquatch7285 Yeah i'm aware of the moving bug, unless its cored it keeps moving even if the thrusters are destroyed lol... while the invisible walls were a problem before, since 1.0 it wasn't a thing anymore, used to raid those no problem, but now with 1.3 it appeared again and raiding enemy CV's is a waste of time and resources, even if you manage to bring one down you cannot loot it nor dismantle it :/ , now i figured i can relog to fix the invisible walls, most of the time ship dissapears after i relog but 2-3/10 times it remained there and i was able to dissasemble it, might try to relog after i enter a playfield before i attack an enemy CV see if that fixes anything

[@TheEVEInspiration]

Why did you not shoot of the turrets of the destroyer? You could have made it a slaughter. That destroyer is killable in a starting CV with hit and run tactics as long as you hit the turrets so it becomes harmless. Its annoying that it keeps turning tho.

[@Spanj]

I was testing the damage profile, ie how the Vendetta took damage and how much damage she could take, removing the turrets would have been counter productive to that test.

[@jbkingjr1982]

There was a x8 increased local cost factor... even with a -20% discount. That sounds weird.

[@Zycrus24_7]

It depends from a station to a station, both things count pretty much though, would be even more expensive without the -20% discount, some stations have cheap ammo and such while some others have cheap pentaxid and so on, not sure which stations have cheap repairs haven't found 1 yet, maybe some of the Zirax stations hmmm.
