Yeaaah... I wouldn't do that if I were you. I mean, they are a boss faction.

Also, please vote for P9 too! They deserve some spotlight!

Ah! I was about to vote SCY as i already recently played with Exigency.

Oh well, a few hours too late. But hey, Exi's going to be fun too, i just hope Everlazy will be ready for the early game hell with them.

Thanks Dark, I'll watch for that.

Hey Helmut, I'm sure I'll be pummeled mercilessly by my laziness and lack of knowledge.  I'll make it work though. :)

With Exigency you want to do some research on each ship you are going to use/pilot, because each ship has a separate right-click ship system that you need to go in the codex to find out about. (iirc) Maybe someone more well versed with the content, like Meso, could do a quick overview post of the various right-click abilities.

The ship system slot is taken up by the Reflector, a cooldown limited, near-perfect 360 degree defense that also reflects incoming fire and takes over incoming missiles. Also, practically every Exi ship has built-in micromissile spam that puts a timer on your opponent to finish the fight fast, because once armor is gone they will shred everything.

Enemy faction info:

Shadowyards - can be hard to fight fleets with lots of Morningstars early on, they are like mini Apogees that will kite you and make your life miserable, and their hard shields present a problem. Also look out for carrier-heavy fleets or cruiser-heavy fleets. Overall, similar to fighting Tri-Tachyon.

SCY - each fight will probably surprise you, some ships are very hard to kill 1v1 because they can run away from you while their front shields soak damage, and then they'll vent, giving you a small window to hurt them. SCY ships basically only get rid of flux by venting, but they have a ton of capacity. Try to get a surround. Overall, ships are fast and fairly specialized.

Blackrock - try not to fight if outnumbered, each ship has a lot of firepower and mobility, so the ships that aren't taking damage will flank and tear through undefended targets. They have bad shields and will vent when pressured so try to work in some damage. Also exi and blackrock counter each other in weird ways that can make it a stomp either way. Look out for PDE weapons when you are in Exi ships.

Templars - Wear diapers

Well, I could do a write-up on each ship system but for now have the video I tend to remake every time there is significant changes to the mod :)

BTW: if you haven't done so yet, pick up the new Nexerelin v0.3.8 sometime before you reach the endgame.

A quick note to save you some embarrassment: when you get a disabled ship back, most or all of the weapons will be missing, and you'll need to install new ones. You had a frigate and a destroyer running around for a couple of episodes with nothing but their built-ins.

Embarrassment already accomplished :)  I learned about it just a few videos ago.  It's no problem though, I learn about all of my mistakes via these videos.  Thanks for the heads-up though Soren.

I also posted 2 more videos tonight.  I should be fairly consistent with 2 a day from here forwards, barring no further interruptions.

Hey Everyone,

Knights Templar should make a showing in episode 24 on Friday.

Should be interesting to see how my little Exigency fleet plus 1 extra Church ship works out(and a bunch of non exigency fighters).
