Things I take from this: - the total calmness from the pilots of destroyers that take dmg from graviton turrets..."Hey, captain. Should we try to get some distance from that thing that fire those red balls of death at us? Neah, it will be fine...🤪" - there truly is no substitute for L plasma turrets in player capital vs xenon capital duels. - the problem with missile turrets (in this case main battery that fire missiles) in X4, is that they exhaust the ammo really quick. The only way to use them effectively is with that "infinite missiles" modd, but in vanilla, zero chance Thank you for the test. About everything I saw, reinforce my decision to skip Timelines, can't find a single selling point that would appeal to me. 🤔

Odachi from Timelines is a very very nice M ship❤, i love it. Also the Shuttle😊 Sapporo is a nice Playership, but not powerful in AI hands. I mixed in this video 50:50% (230:230) light and heavy missiles, my bad. But its 80km radar range is unique, travel speed is ok, but 160m/s sucks😢. I will test it as fleetleader, i think it could be great for the subs, or at least as miner guard vs Khaak. Stay tuned, i did the same scenario with Behemoth E and Phoenix E (mixed tech). One of them did a real great job😮

@@egoaut I do have a soft spot for base game ships. I rather enjoy making the "forgoten once a DLC drops" ships/fleets work. 😉

​@@egoautsapporo is literally a command ship. It will send its subordinate units to any target that matches its mission within its radar range. Give it one carrier, that carrier has the usual setup of interceptors, attack bombers and bombardment destroyers subordinated to the carrier. Have the carrier attack for the sapporo. The sapporo will send it out and the carrier will in turn deploey its own forces according to plan.

tbf i wouldve used a fleet of like 10 destroyers even before i attempt a I-class nad would only take on a K without me shooting out the turrets when there is at least a fleet of 4 destroyers. im actually surprised that the 4 sapporos survived that long.

[@rawrmcsaurs6052]

in practice less than 100 heavy barrage missiles on a saporro can take down a K

[@egoaut]

My goal is to use only small numbers of ships to show their abilitys. Yes, they did a good work and its my bad that they had not enough heavy missiles🤫. Main problem was the broken formation, 2x Sapporo did fight the first K while the others take too long to show up. So they lost too much missiles and time to save the first doomed Sapporo.

[@rawrmcsaurs6052]

@@egoaut yeah the difference in dps from using light barrage missiles is pretty significant

[@Dronus1]

When i got first Sapporo from Mists of Artemis this ship managed to destroy a lot of xenon's fighters even with heavy barrage missiles (very good vs swarm). IMHO you want use only heavy barrage missiles on Sapporo.
