General Discussion / Best Omega Weapon Platforms?
« on: June 30, 2023, 02:51:44 PM »
I've finally gotten around to acquiring some of the Omega weapons in my current run after having acquired the Zigg, I'm wondering what people think are the best ships to mount these powerful but highly limited weaponry on. Obviously the biggest limitation is the number of them, which ones and how many you get are going to be random every run, but scarcity aside what are the best platforms for them? The Zigg is an obvious choice for the largest weapons thanks to the synergy with Phase Anchor letting you fire them off willy nilly, but I'm finding it harder to figure out where to stick the medium and small Omegas.

Not sure if this should be possible considering drone ships aren't meant to be crewed. 0.96a-RC8.

Discussions / Would radar-based or IR-based seekers be more common?
« on: August 28, 2022, 06:09:24 PM »
I feel like IR-based seekers would actually be a lot better than on Earth as they wouldn't have an atmosphere to contend with, greatly increasing the effective range of IR-based seekers and IRST, all the while not giving off any kind active sensing that would set off enemy RWR. While you can make stealth coatings and bounce radar, I don't think combat vessels could hide the IR of their powerful engines and weapons firing so IMO IR seekers and sensors would be the way to go, I guess it depends on how flux and shields interact/give off IR.

? Any idea what the ghost might mean/do? I tried following it but it went in a circle for a bit and then disappeared.
