It's because his cruisers are sort of artillery cruisers with their build. So one line that stay somewhat out of enemy range while endlessly harassing enemy and punishing bold ones that stray too close, slowly grinding enemy to dust

Eradicator is a hidden gem. You understand this when you understand weapon balance in the vanilla game. You will inevitably understand that the average ballistic weapon in its total stats is the strongest in relative balance in terms of the ratio of weapon points to DPS and flux generation. The Eradicator is a good average Tier A cruiser in all respects, armor strength, flux level, shield strength, speed. With a unique Tier S ship skill Add in the game's best mid-range ballistic slots which are turrets and you get a ship that, with a decent ranged officer with artillery implants, ballistic specialization, target analysis, shield specialization and any additional skill you choose, is capable of grinding through any endgame content.

This video changed how i'm gonna give orders to my fleet from now on, until now i was just escorting my anchor ships with a bunch of slower ships

the map of this game reminds me so much of master of orion 2 .. and these eradicators remind me of my favorite weapon, the gauss gun which did exactly the same .. armor piercing high range extreme damage, melting fleets in front of me away :D

They verge on being OP for the DP cost. Plus their hardpoints give you a fairly wide choice of ways to murder things. If you like to live dangerously, try building yourself one with safety overrides and use assault cannons and an HMG instead of the Maulers and HV driver. You have to get in to paint swap range, but the Dakka is Real.

I love Eradicators but I can only ever find the pirate modded ones. They're still good but even with same loadout, missing the Accelerated Ammo Feeder really lowers the daka output.

Can you give some tips on how to get the enemy fleets to funnel in like that? Usually when I am playing, my fleet tends to scatter. Yours seems to hold the battle line consistently.

@burakozcivan6173

2 жыл бұрын

It's about fleet command at base. In this instance, he covers a lengthy line of battle with three defense orders in the middle and sends his brawlers to the flanks to cover more area which prevents slip aways to your rear from smaller frigs. Your fleet composition will affect this though. Eradicators in the middle are tough nut to crack. They are also covered by the two Conquests if any shit hit the fans. Try to mess more with fleet command rather than playing like a shoot'em up. You will get the insight as you experience it. You may need to have a couple of tough capitals or cruisers to hold the line which other elements of your fleet may get behind them and recover trough skirmish vs vs. As battle gets through you will move up the same defense line closer to enemy entering point to the map step by step. At last they will be entering the map from a narrow point while your fleet have already circling them and shooting from every angle.

@understated1908

2 жыл бұрын

I use 'D'efend points to "tether" the ships in a line. They will naturally spread out from there. As I push the enemy back I just push the defend points up and the fleet will rearrange itself at the new positions. The enemy "funneling" or getting surrounded tends to happen when your fleet is overpowering the enemy fleet. The flip side is true of your fleet as well - if the enemy fleet has superior quality/numbers you'll find yourself getting surrounded. Hope this helps.

You really need to make a guide on how you manipulate the battle field and do the line push with this midline, I revisit this video often because of the execution. In your opinion, which is a better midline? Champion vs Eradicator?

@understated1908

Жыл бұрын

They're both strong, but in this patch I think eradicator has the edge because it brings good firepower to the table for only 20 dp so you can squeeze in a little more into the fleet than if you had gone with champions. Both are great though.

Impressive stuff, Im quiet interested in how you used AI orders as I dont really understand how to give them properly myself if you want to do a tutorial on AI wranglin at sonme point :p

Eradicator are pretty good...

No need for 40k mods. This already looks and feels like Warhammer 40k xD

I have 2/3 of those in my fleet, they seem quite op, they cost half as much as an aurora, and lower than a fury (it's a bit sad really, are they even worth the deploy at this point,?) near indestructible and a lot of pressure. There is only the champion left to try for me . Also noticed something, the ai became very good with doom this patch as a pressure/minelayer ship with phase anchor holding the line, but I don't always deploy it cause of points. I used to lead the battle in an afflictor now I'm in an odyssey flanking and pushing them around for the rest of my fleet+carriers to chew. It really seems like ody can be incredible with this type of fleet, to end battles fast, i see the potential with it but im still trying out fleet comps.

Fury with anti-matter can flank virutally any ship and usually 2-3 cycle anything but a capital into the ground by pounding the weak engine bay area. I do aggree though, once you give the odyssey a chance and begin using it almost like an onslaught pushing and penetrating enemy lines while cycling flux and boosting around it can be quite hard to . . . stop. XD

Build is the same as previous video(officers to)? Also, can you please give another link at your conquest build, previous picture was very poor quality.
