Don't get hit by the tachyon lances. currently a bug that causes them to go through shields.

Btw: if the shields are up and covering 360 degrees, they should still prevent the EMP damage.

you can retreat, because it's so slow it can't catch you, then get more a bunch of torpedo bombers to kill it,  or you can fight and deploy your ships into one ship per battle and wear down its battle readiness through several battles. It'll be forced to retreat and you can finish it off while it's retreating.

"Only" the EMP gets through. I'm having a lot of fun with them though. It's actually worth the OP now.

I feel like this is the perfect thread for these pics:

That is three of four bounty fleets. There is still a Heg deserter that didn't join for some reason (Bug maybe?)

This really begs the question why are they hiding out when they can steamroll a minor system.

The new bugged Tachyon Lance is fun, but once that gets fixed, TL will become a lame weapon again, but in a different way; namely, it will be too weak and far too overpriced compared to Phase Lance, not unlike Heavy Blaster vs. Plasma Cannon in 0.65.  Speaking of which, Plasma Cannon is finally good again in 0.7a, maybe slightly overpriced and maybe slightly too flux hungry, but it is good again.
