Starsector - IV Battlegroup Elite Battleship Paragon-class "Citadel"

"No ship can outlast or outgun the Paragon-class, a true Leviathan of a bygone epoch."
This version of Paragon is from High Tech Expansion, which can be downloaded here: fractalsoftwor...
Compared to a regular Paragon it has better shields but worse hull and armor overall.

[@kablakuk]

Having a worse hull or armor won't matter if your enemies can't even break through your shield.

[@MoshiKnight]

Unless this ship overloads it's invincible.

@@MoshiKnight I mean, the description for IV Battlegroup ships says they embody the "invincible wall" doctrine

[@loffredabernardes]

I got it in one of my playthroughs... I ran it with 4 tachyon lances and ramnent tactical lasers, remnant grav beans and remnant ion beans. It pretty much one shots every destroyer and can easily 1 vs 4 against the suchs of onslayghts. 4 Tachy lances is the ultimate burst.

so this is how the hot pockets feel when you blast them with microwave radiation

[@donk8961]

Tachyon lances being tachyon lances makes me happy.

i stumble upon one of the wrecks near a gate like 5 mins in the game...playing on nexerelin freestart with nothing and using a solo ship start....i get going on taking that sweet wreck almost instanyly even if its surrounded by remnant ships, luring them out and sneak a wreck out XD

[@imbw267]

Our cruisers cannot repel firepower of that magnitude!

What was it Hegemony forgot? (Lasers, Big Lasers!)

[@aboogabooga9441]

The background music sounds like a microwave...

[@MoshiKnight]

my pc has a built in rgb gaming microwave

This load out really struggles when you can’t out flux the opponent(s). It’s only dealing soft flux.

[@frzlunar4845]

Even with my doom class dealing Paragon with full laser still hard for me.

[@lorenzocassaro3054]

IMMA FIAHR MAH LAZOR!

[@pop9095]

Balance anyone?

[@Error105ayo]

Pretty balanced

[@hangyulee250]

It is unironically not too unbalanced compared to the vanilla paragon. Now is the vanilla paragon balanced in the first place? well...

[@mjkoo5365]

It’s balanced by how fucking rare it is, and how a good load out is needed otherwise it’s just a big distraction
