Curious about feedback w/r/t how Rama evolves during long campaigns.
Very long story short, 7ZIP ate my save in a roundabout way, so I've been coming back from scratch and am only up to Shrimp-level. So far I've kept to Gneiss so I don't have to hassle with faction fleets chasing me, but once I get a decently supported Nevermore set up I'll head into the brawl. Though mine'll be a bit biased by the Interstellar Imperium occasionally rolling up and besieging the place.
EDIT because I hate making two posts in a row:
This looks and behaves like one of the last things you ever want to see barreling at you if you're in a ship and made of meat. The volley guns dump the shields in 1-2 shots, the Sunjet tears the armor off where you're pointing, the Pulsar sputters the armor off where you aren't pointing, then the sheer volume of fragmenting rounds from the quad Shredder MGs and dual-dual Hailfire Chainguns turn the inside of the ship into meatloaf. Also Salamander MRMs because :salamanders:. The rated weapon flux seems misleading as it's very, very difficult to overload this thing without taking a cruiser or EMP torpedoes to the face. The only downsides are you ought to have something covering your aft, and you have to be close. If you call that a downside.
