I laughed when Persean League came to try and bully me with their blockade, because I learned that if you clip their supply fleets they go home immediately.
@@ggtt2547it’s a unique fleet generated for the Persian blockade colony crisis. Two “supply fleets” are created that is basically just another fleet that sits around, tends to have other heavier armed fleets around (Persean league blockade has like 10 different fleets), and has more cargo ships than average. I don’t remember if there are special interactions beyond killing both supply fleets so you don’t have to interact with the more powerful & more numerous fleets
@@ggtt2547in this case (and maybe this version specifically) the colony threat evolves into a ~10-12 fleet blockade of your settled system. but the last two fleets of that group are majority large civilian haulers and tankers, and if they're both destroyed, the combat fleets flee as if defeated.
@@crimsonharvestwas going to face a blockade in ten in game days. I will keep this in mind. By the way, is the blocked in hyperspace ? Where would I go find them?
The stuff that comes at your colonies is insane now. My first game after the patch, when pirates showed up, they had 7(!) fleets all stronger than mine. During the battles that followed, both Persian and Tri-Tech fleets showed up.
The Onslaught's 14th Battlegroup variant is the best for me as a flagship and having one piloted Legion, 2 piloted Dominators, 5 piloted Eagles and the rest is no piloted Falcons (support build to fly next to the Onslaught and Legion) and Enforcers, my fleet usually consists of battle deployables + 1 none piloted Eagle, 2 none piloted Falcons, 2 none piloted Enforcers, plenty of Atlases and at least 2 Prometheus For some reason I like the officers to have the Steady personality driving the Dominators & Eagles and the Aggressive personality for the Legion And I found having the Industry skill Hull Restoration is super beneficial when constantly fighting crisis fleets
Watching your vidoes again got me back into the game. AND I can play it on my laptop in bed at night LOL BONUS! It braught me back to a topic I started on the forums in 2021! How much piloitng do you do in battles? I really suck at piloting and never did in my last 60+ hour playthrough of the game. Can you make a video on the topic for players who struggle to pilot? 😅
Personally I love the 14th Battlegroup Legion with a heavy machine gun point defense setup (Xyphos and Sarissas for support). You can generally charge in and cause everyone to drop their shields from the kinetic pressure, they then get disabled by the xyphos and finally you just finish them with hammers.
Paráda 👍 So it seems that my modded colony play style, where I just make massive empire which has endless resources, will end in this patch hah. But Im really curious how it becomes with big empire, doest it get annoying or even unbereable even impossible to repel all the attacks on many planets or is there a good way to patrol atleast most of the systems? Well ok, if you can even get that far lol.
Ďakujem :D, Well I think in some way the big attacks always happend ... this is just more "official with a warning" also it seems like with the tri tachyon event they eventually will stop attacking as the games says "not worth it for then to continue the attacks". I will have to see more into the late game ... but i presume ones you get the big OP patrols going .. not even the events will budge your defences.
I just max my colony crisis points so i can quickly get to the part where I tac bomb the staging planet. Its the "mini" fleets that spawn every month during the meter buildup that I find annoying.
Ludd does not approve of your battle size. If you can hear in the vacuum of space at it is so full of munitions. If you cannot hit your opponent because space is so choked with fighters only then does the party really start.
I've had kinda meh success with Invictus. It's too weak against fast fleet, doesn't have the flux to deal with big fleets that stay in your face, and has trouble finishing many capitals. Although it has a ton of armor and hull, it doesn't mean much when you get surrounded and keep losing engines and weapons. To truly shine it needs huge battle sizes so it has the necessary support to overcome its weaknesses. For most circumstances I'd rather just use other ships. Executor is...okay. If you had Gigacannons it'd be pretty strong but the horrible flux just kills most options. Maybe it'd be best to just use it as a burst killer by taking advantage of high caps and Expanded Magazines. Colony problems aren't too bad. Just don't blindly add stuff to your colonies as soon as you have money and colony items. Focus on getting your population, stability and defenses up. Get your t3 station up before your orbital works. Get a few patrols going on several planets. Besides a few gamma cores on your most expensive industries, don't touch AI cores until your orbital works is up and has it's own alpha core so your patrols and stations are actually strong enough to deal with the backlash. THEN focus on closing all your ports and being self-sufficient.
If you think the Crisis Armada's are bullshit now, you should try them before they got nerfed in one of the hotfixes. Though I think the main problem your having is that you're relying on a basic orbital station. The fights aren't so overwhelming if you have at least a battlestation (especially with an Alpha Core). So I just noticed at 16:15 that you're using Ballistic Rangefinder...on an Invictus. Slipstream Surge is indeed super fun.

What do you mean supply fleets? I haven't played for 1 year and now we have supply fleets? What are those?

They are dedicated combat fleets. The supply storage have to be somewhere
The Colony Crisis thing is so much better now; it's actually a fun part of gameplay now, not a punishment for growing too fast.
I’ve had a small burn out from this game but I can’t wait to get back into it thanks for the best updates
Love your vids! Can't wait for the Abyss!
Thank you! I am really interested what is there to be found :D
Awesome vid, gonna try that legion build. Looks really fun and effective.

Oh You fuc***, You're making me play this game again! Awesome strategy and in-game knowledge!
The big gun ship at the end is a monster and I love it 😬

I wonder how Odyssey performs now with all those tech tree bonuses and buffed movement skills. Need to try solo the Radiant.

Um does lowering the crisis and preventing it now is to actively destroy enemy ships in the system?
Defensive targeting array does nothing for bombers Uran. It affects the damage your fighters do to enemy fighters and missiles.
But the AI does not send them to fight and they stay around them working as a missile turret
I LOVE THIS FUCKING GAME but i dont have a pc to run it for more than 5 minutes
Didn’t think this was a particularly resource intensive game.
i know but still wen i run the game more than 10 minutes everything fucking lag to death
*checking calendar* nope not 1st of April - NICE!!!!
Pretty epic
NICEEEE
Slipstreams are not a pain in the a$$ anymore lets gooooo
Niiiiiiiiiiiiice
The grunge 😮
Its me or no one talk about the New Abyssm?
Next episode I will ... as in this one I did not go there yet :D
@@Uran92 truly a gigachad, we need more people like you in this comunity
I wish they would add boarding to this game
