How to hunt remnants?
« on: October 19, 2019, 10:24:30 PM »

Is there any better way how to hunt sush remnants without losses? Share your videos how you hunt remnants!
My method is: can't imagine better setup yet.

Nexus vs one ship:

Use phase beam harbinger to eliminate remnant ships. AI is helpless vs shield overload mechanic.

Aww hell, bring 10 undeployed Paragons to boost fleet points, but use carrier spam and bombers from Astral to do damage.

Edit: Although, 7 Legions finishes is a lot faster, looks like I must go back to improve my carrier setup :o

Running around with 10+ capital ships isn't that uncommon. But it is not very efficient as it burn lots of fuel and supplies.

Edit: Your drovers has no missiles?

I like to take on massively outnumbering fleets with the drovers and missiles don’t have enough ammo to last the whole fight. Sometimes I put a single salamander.

I'd have to say hauling 10 dead-weight Paragons with 5 combat ones is probably the surest way to take on 3 or more full Ordo fleets at once. The 15 minutes of 100% combat readiness is where it's at. Not to mention unlimited ammo and health. Could get 3 fleets down in about 7 to 10 minutes.

Idk I haven't tried Onslaughts yet, I suspect their armor tank would fail eventually though. I have a feeling that they might be more powerful because each Onslaught has as many ordnance points as a Paragon.

The legions were a challenge build and I honestly didn't think they would do that well. I only got them to work by working with their burn drive ability. Kill everything as fast as possible. Hard to balance flux with such terrible flux stats on them. They can only take on two fleets at most because they will run out of Harpoons.

The Paragon build Isn't as reliable as the Legion one. Probably replacing a legion with a flag-shipped armor tanked Onslaught XIV would win 95%+ battles without losses. Given some battle tactics other than full assault.




It is just one ordo, try it with 3 ordos with deployment of 200. And legions need officers and are very fuel efficient.

But you neen some logistic ships, 10 paragons is too expensive in fuel usage.

Am I the only one that just sneaks in a colony and uses a Star Fortress? :P
Goal is to get fun of hunting 3 ordos in one battle.

Hold on. You mean that you enter a hazard system, build a colony on a planet, and beeline directly to building starbases inside the sector? That's a very Vasari thing to do.

Sneaking star fortress is half-cheat as remnant fleets spawn only then you arrive into the system making star base safe while you away. Also remnants can attack base from far away - it can be destroyed while your fleet moves towards distant enemy fleet to join engagement.

I'll build a fleet that can take on 3 or 4 ordos at once, but I'm not gonna drop the total battle size below 500. I don't like wasting more time to achieve the same end.

Also carrying 10 deadweight paragons isn't that expensive especially if you're hunting ordo fleets. I carry dead weight paragons when I hunt ordos and when I'm done I'm full on 10k fuel and over 5k supplies.
