General Discussion / We need weapons that counter fast ships
« on: January 10, 2022, 09:04:46 PM »
Currently there are no counters against fast fleet. The only way to counter fast fleets is to fight them with a fast fleet.
Especially knowing how the AI performs way better with a fast ship than a slow ship, speed is the most important stats in the game.
Currently the only weapons that supposedly counter speed are:
-Salamander: a meme missile that hits 5% of the time. And ironically it only hits slow ships since fast ships can easily dodge it or block it with shield
-Emp weapons: Unfortunately low tech ships don't have access against those but currently they are the best method that counter fast ships
-Mines: another weapon which is mainly used by a fast ship (doom)
So my suggestion is to introduce an area denial weapon or give salamander emp buff (make it hit through shield when high Flux)
Currently, In a fleet vs fleet battle where all ships are properly equipped, fast ships perform better than slow ships
