what anime is this? Starsector - Einhander vs. [CENSORED BY COMSEC] (spoilers, obviously)

[@spart_n7633]

what'll win, some crazy fleet commander who settles fights in their own hyper-optimized advanced mech armour the size of a fighter, or the strange eldritch demon capable of mulching through unprepared combat fleets? great flight, great fight

[@Aereto]

Arma Armatura is a modpack that I can recommend for the type of players who like being the shmup fighter and desire being smaller than a fast frigate. Combat skills is critical, so the mod that increases max level to maintain a fleet is recommended. But when using a fleet that uses heavily in carriers, the Carrier skills will diminish past 8 bays, so keep that in mind. With the strikeship such as the Einhander, I suggest playing Zone of the Enders music in combat.

@@Aereto Or you could always get the Leynos, call it something like Devil Machine or Mazinkaiser and scream "TURBO SMASHER PUNCH!!" whenever you us the rocket fist

[@rottenmeat5934]

Arma Armatura is a surprisingly balanced mod. Except for the curvy laser.

[@clauvyuga]

Curvy Laser is one of the weapons of all time.

"B-but why is the Ziggurat not using its ability to send motes at you???" I'm not entirely sure if I'm being honest, but I'd bet this is related to the Einhander being a fake fighter. It did use the ability a few times during my other attempts, and in my experience, not getting tagged by the Ziggurat made this fight harder 'cause I couldn't just dive under the entire wave of motes - some'd always be nearby, ready to zap my bits. Anywho, check out the cataphract mod ArmaA and give shoi/gettag a warm comment for their wonderful work.

[@CatMandiano]

Got arma last night. Can’t wait to give it a spin with a carrier from ‘missing ships’

[@TheyCalledMeT]

motes? i was missing the emp lightnings

[@samsonthemanson]

It was sending mites at you they just cant kill you phased

[@CaptainChloroform]

God I love arma armatura. nothing like flying a fleet of highly optimized mechs and carriers into a cluster fuck of a battle.

[@akatsukiwolf2735]

Thank you for the StarSector mod gameplay. Much love. 🥰

[@CoolStory-]

Nice piloting. Whenever I try to go for a full Gundam ArmaA squad my chad officer pilots just snort their doses of drugs and die to PD in the first minute of combat. But at least listening to their combat chatter from Ace Combat is entertaining.

[@mechzilla569]

Most of the mecha have shmup related names like aleste and garegga

[@teofilusevanmenosa3689]

Is this ship any good in the AI hands?

[@clauvyuga]

Yup! I ran six of them in one of my runs - was a beauty to behold.

[@st42278]

Yeah, it is surprisingly good

[@foxshoot3138]

Just dont let him tank allone all the hits and he will be fine

[@rafaelnobrega9574]

i really love this video but i wanna ask, what hullmods/weapons did you put in your einhänder? thinking of doing that too, but i'm not sure what to equip for the battle

[@clauvyuga]

I show the build at the end of the video! However, it's dramatically more difficult to fight the Ziggurat as solo Ein now. This video was sort of a bug report for Shoi so they could up the threat level of Einhanders and the V-azard, which they did in one of the patches. Long story short, previously the AI didn't think Eins and the V-azard had enough firepower to be a threat, and now it does. Ps: Just to clarify, I wasn't able to solo the Ziggurat after that patch yet.

[@duncanrobertson8323]

love AA but I wish it didn't take so long to fight everything. you put 200% in and get 100% back which is fine, but I sorta wish there was a brain off 2 mil credits hyper Aleste that can swordfight with conquests without getting ripped to shreads by laser PD. The Valkazard gets close but it just doesn't do enough damage, atleast it has the harpoon so you can go around crippling ships for the fleet like a roided up Cap Ahab. My problem is I have so many other compleatly stupid unbalanced mods installed and there's no way any of the AA equipment will fare well against the crusaders or the plauge bringers from varyas, which is sad because I love them. They make really good fighter support still, but fall off as flagships.

[@JimJamTheAdmin]

ARMAA, a few patches ago, had quite a few ships that could be wildly overtuned with Unusually Gullible Hullmods and More Hull Mods because of zero flux shield costs. Now, they still can be. You can still make several of them into impenetrable shield tanks on par with the monitor and the firepower of a destroyer, like the Xyphos or Rocket Star Variants of the frigs. The Remnant Altagrave is also very breakable with just a few inconspicuous mods like UGH, MHM, and Exotica Technologies.

[@htf5555]

whre you get one man. i got arma armatura and im like 30 cycles and never seen one ever

[@yasiu6450]

my guess would be New Meshan in Gamlin system, it's the only planet with ArmaA market or you can check TriTach markets

[@TheyCalledMeT]

why don't you go for the engines to prevent it turning?

[@clauvyuga]

A good idea in theory, but it's kinda pointless when you take motes into account. You still have to dash away from the ship to get the motes in the right position, and during that time Zigg will have its engines back.

[@TheyCalledMeT]

@@clauvyuga just noticed it messes with the attack route if the ship turns the wrong way or moves out or after you once you're retreating, having taken care of the engines would make all this easyer didn't make a trial but i would assume the armor is at least as weak if not weaker around the engines? (compared to the armoured sides)

[@clauvyuga]

@@TheyCalledMeT There are no armor weakpoints in Starsector, armor value is the same across all sides in an undamaged ship. And as I said, disabling engines wouldn't accomplish anything significant for the "go in and fire, retreat, repeat" tactic. Besides, this doesn't matter any more as the AI is now much more aggressive when fighting the Einhander. You can't do what I did in this video now.

[@TheyCalledMeT]

@@clauvyuga good to know :)
