Player piloted AMB Doom rips them apart. Place mines behind them to turn their omni shields, hit them with the AMBs, blow up the fighters with mines when they pop out. All you need is a fleet that can survive long enough for you to finish killing everything.

This aligns with my Doom thread. I am not surprised to see this here.

Odyssey, Radiant, Eagle XIV, FalconP, 4 Medusas, Monitor and Centurion (180 dp) not a single casualty, as the battle starts appoint Radiant on first and rush yourself on another, they vulnerable to EMP-kinetic damage, if you disable their engines with sabots/emp they die fast.

Used phase battleship to kill one completely with adds then switched to remaining one. My AI "helpers" doom,astral,medusa and 2 tempests just died doing squat.After reinforcing with radiant,aurora,apogee and Atlas/Prometheus just for lots of targets - killed second one. All in all 99% of damage was done by phase battleship. AI allies is worthless in this fight except for hull tanking. Ideal fleet would be lots of ventures with hp/armor hull mods plus player battleship.

I had an AI paragon that mostly killed one of the enemies while I killed the other one, but anything smaller than a capital ship in AI hands just gets run over in my experience.

Not surprising with Radiant's stats. Only Paragon has chance 1v1, and it's up to loadout and officers in such case. In general, Radiant has advantage.

MAN, forget about the Hypershunt fights, HOW ARE YOU SUPPOSED TO DEAL WITH THIS???
Why YES, those are 3 S-mods AND an alpha core on EVERY SINGLE SHIP in a FULL Remnant Ordo fleet AND a Tesseract to support it!

This is outright impossible, I can't even think of any theoretical way to cheese it, the Remnant's Fearless officer AI creates an unstoppable blob and the Tesseract is impossible to pick off fast enough.

Thats a nightmare fleet, Longbow and Cobra bomber spam can thin out the remnants, but you'll need maxed officers in conquests or something to stop them from running over the carriers.

High-level contacts (not sure if they need to be Tri-Tachyon, in my case it was Rayan Arroyo) give you bounties like these. At this point of the game credits don't matter, so it's purely a matter of challenge I guess.

That looks like a job for the old cycle-some-flagships tactic. Send in a player-piloted SO Fury, kill as many frigates as you can while fleeing in terror from anything cruiser-grade or bigger. Retreat when you run out of CR - or die horribly, whichever. Repeat. Until you run out of SO Furies, or they run out of frigates.

Then you actually engage with your whole war-fleet - and I think the above-suggested tactics of distracting the tesseract with a player-piloted monitor is probably a good one; keep it busy and un-split until the board is otherwise clear.

Wyvern is 100% correct about the math.

I admittedly havent used a radiant yet, i had kinda 'finished' my game before managed to successfully salvage one. Five front facing large mounts? Seems nuts.
