How exactly do I beat this ship
« on: May 13, 2023, 05:41:20 PM »

So I was exploring around, and on the top left corner of the map I found a system with some kind of station in it. And when I tried to explore it ,there is one ship defending it. I thought ok , easy enough. But this ship has some ability to take control of my ships. So I tried to overwhelm it with a bunch of smaller ship but it didn't work. And then tried again with my capital and cruisers and it didn't work. Anyone know any good tactic against this one ?

Xhan's Myrainious. Use a single big brick capital under player control and rush it. It can't take over the player flaghip. It can overload you, so be prepared to take some fire.

If you're talking about what I think you are, the system Uvas, in addition to what Hatter already said:

If you can't build a flagship beefy enough to solo this fight, I had luck building the other ships to be extremely tough but not to present a threat to my flagship.  If you load out disposable cruisers and battleships (and they WILL die gratuitously, this thing makes the Hypershunt fight look like Spongebob) with either all beam loadouts or all light kinetic loadouts, they will be mostly harmless to your flagship's shields or armor if when they get mind-controlled.  It's not particularly tough once you corner it, it's just keeping up with it while weathering its storms of lightning and purple Itano Circus nonsense.  As your other ships get controlled, place Avoid orders on them and keep ordering your friendly ships to focus on the boss.  Once you beat that cosmic horror, you get it with its crazy powers intact.  Good hunting!
