@Network Pesci : Quite the interesting approach for the Onslaught.
Rather than thought to be impossible, I just believe it doesn't really fit the ship so well. I prefer a shieldless tank than one who sacrifices a lot of OP and flux to be shielded.
While I do not use heavy armors (too costly and too slow) I use this build :
Instead of very high resilience each battle, this makes a fast, maneuverable and highly reusable when surrounded (like when blockading ports) while still near indestructible.
The only real threat would be the swarms of dagger wings mentioned a little while ago. And from what Alex recently said, those high wing count fleet would be fixed in later versions.
I agree that salvage rate is really good right now. Even a a full fleet deployment, if there were none or close to no damage, you tend to make up used supplies with the ones salvaged, and fuel salvage also makes being out of fuel rare.
