Instead of writing long posts, can we all agree that Odyssey is complete garbage and needs more buffs?

No.

[Yunru]

Yeah; no.

Instead of writing long posts, can we all agree that Odyssey is complete garbage and needs more buffs? I use this capital more than any other (which has nothing to do with its performance, mind you), so I can tell. High-tech gets no love unless it's phase ships, smh. Alex, please.

You forgot the /s

This is a starsector forum, we are all highly intelligent people here and don't need any tags.

The tag is useful because conveying sarcasm in text is up to the author, not the reader.

We can't adopt a sarcastic tone in text, unless you want to be verbose and write a full piece of satire.

A single claim can't be sarcastic without any context.

I disagree, I used it for quite a while, and was able to solo some fleets by hit and run tactics, and circling around enemy fleet counter clockwise. I used 2 pulse lasers with ext. mag, speed buff, and maximum caps and hardened shields, as well as other mods and couple weapons I dont remember. also most of the weapons slots were empty to free the OP. also you need to invest heavily in combat skills, mostly for the speed buff and the special system buff system.

Spoiler

Although eventually I dumped the oddysey and all the combat skills in favour of 4 onslaughts, 4 monitors and 2 moras piloted by a cabal-harem of 10 women officers with a distraction afflictor to pilot, but thats a completely different story

Odyssey has been shown many times to be great in AI hands.

Not really. You can make a decent AI Odyssey, but it would be extremely reliant on limited missiles and not be a particularity fast killer even then (compared to player-piloted plasma Odyssey). Also, AI Odyssey can only bull-rush, using finesse to whittle down a large group of attackers is entirely out of it's reach (whole point of the Odyssey imo, Onslaught is the better bull-rush AI ship anyway).

The only major Oddy's drawback is a very bad slot compatibility with the Omega's weapons. No Cryoblasters and AMMs only in the medium slots just sucks.

But what about the droid attack on the wookies putting 3 rift torpedo launchers?

You are not guaranteed to get this much in the first place.

I think its possible if you safescum both shunts and the omegalul bounty

[Lucky33]

This is what "not guaranteed" is.

I have seen people talking about soloing ordos with it

At least small packs. As those guarding the red planet.

But i agree that shield is too big. We cant fix that, but it is the problem if you have too much ships escorting you. You need to drop shields to move between them. But it kinda makes Ody more fun to pilot.
