Starsector 0.97a is out! (02/02/24); New blog post: Simulator Enhancements (03/13/24)
Have fought one - was tedious more than anything else.If you focus fire on the fighters with appropriate weapons * cough beams cough * you can neuter carriers in a shockingly short amount of time - the regen rate goes down fast. However, the Mora just refuses to die. Multiple salvos of high explosives from my own bombers barely even dent the stupid thing.This was just fighting 1 - I imagine multiple being even more annoying.

I am officially an epoch.
Note: please sacrifice your goats responsibly, look up the proper pronunciation of Alex's name. We wouldn't want some other project receiving mystic power.
Did your enemy Mora have an officer in it? Because I've noticed that when the defensive skills get stacked things can get... excessive. I was fighting a pirate Dominator with a high level captain and I managed to get my Drover behind it. I pumped a solid 100 annihilator rockets and 3 waves of 5 Piranha bombers into its butt and I had just barely managed to break the armor. Rather insane.
I just fought one.

My progress is slow because I have not spent as much time as I wanted playing Starsector.I agree with Meso: Dampener field needs to be kicked in the a**. I don't think people realize why it is so OP: It reduces damage BEFORE armor takes the hit.

Yeah, I wouldn't mind if Damper Field was relegated to the scrap heap of history. I miss the old Brawler as well.
