I picked the most expensive ships at that time. Fringe and Mono didn't have any

@@Salephz ok

I'm pretty sure there has not been any change to missile AI since way before I made this video. Ping me on discord if u find some actual proof.

All thrusters have vector thrust that applies 5% thrust 90deg from their facing

@@SalephzYeah, I noticed this when disabling side thrusters on an enemy ship, only to still have it turn, when I try to flank it...

I'm turning the AI off from my ship because it'll keep trying to override my commands.

can't disable enemy ai in career so I'm not doing it here. also not sure how much it would help them.

Having fighters / another ship scratch your tick away would be a easy counter

@@killerhellhound yeah but like the ship only without any fighters

@@fedoraman. Have turrets covering all approches with energy ammo? out speed the tick so it gets left behind there is counter play with how long it takes the tick to cut through

I mean it figures as you can see. Blindspots are blindspots. Sometimes multiple smaller ships are better than a single big one.

@@fedoraman. energy point defense everywhere would do the trick

plenty of canons fired, it just dodged until they ran out of ammo

it doesn't matter how much damage each shot does if you dodge all of them

yeah well a thing that can shoot is obviously better then a thing that cant shoot

AI cheese does not work on players, I repeat AI cheese does not work on players.

Spending cap of 1.5m and no time limit you say? Prepair to face the swarm. One. At. A. Time. MUAHAHAHA

@@SephirothsBIadeoh no…

all thrusters can vector their thrust perpendicularly with 5% power

@@Salephz Learn something new every day!

All For Now took a couple hours because i was testing different ways to deal with that one side facing deck cannon. In the end, I decided to just suck it up and try to survive the rng... Voluntas took no more than half an hour. The rest were pretty easy, I killed those on my first attempt, but then gave them a bunch more attempts because I wanted to get the run to be as flawless as possible. In total, I think I spent more time editing the video than spinning around, and 70% of the spinning on All For Now

only if you get over his shield replenishing rate.

Yea works on many big ships As long as the shields replenish slower then you can hit them Did the same ))

13:16 the secret is revealed

If the dart was in front or the side.

It Won't get past anything with lasers, rotation ions, or offensive flak.. Deck cannons can be dodged, smaller cannon rounds will be a bit more difficult to evade. It is technically possible to progress thru the game by luring your bounties towards a base or something that will fight back... The extra weight from a storage block and ftl drive would be detrimental to the ship's survivability.

@@Salephz ​ @Salephz I have been trying it myself. The first major problem I encountered was where to store the loot. So I rebuilt a Pirate base. Next, when I was ready to leave I realized I can't take the base crew with me, let alone the loot. So you absolutely _still_ need a factory ship. OK, one Factory ship but only one combat ship. So I designed a Corvette class ship with two Ion Beams, two Disrupters some small shields and one large shield. My definition of Corvette is around 500 tons (give or take) and 30-ish crew. Larger ships around 1000 tons start getting problematic. These ships need to be fast and agile (side thrust). They need to be able to reach the enemy sides... and stay there. That will make most enemy weapons impotent, like my penis... I mean, uh. I tested my designs vs. an Onager and Bandsaw 1v1. It amazes me how these ships turn... Anyway, I found most missiles flew past my ship. I was able with my meager point defenses to shoot down quite a few while the shields took care of the rest. I just had to out last them until I could take out their reactor or bridge. I have been using auto-combat, right-click to target. Shift- drag to position and rotate as necessary. Pause, a lot, and reposition as necessary. The next problem with combat is, combat! The auto-method is severely lacking. Navigators poorly use engine thrust. And even my fastest ship can never get behind an enemy. I am currently in my second sector (level 4-6). _I built my beam ship after the first sector was cleared._ The first sector is easy and starter designs don't need to be that great. In the second sector I made a mistake, fighting with the combat interface, and lost my ship. But I'm not playing iron-man so there's that. I play on Captain and Architect difficulty. So far so good. Would still love to see someone else play this challenge.

@@Salephz ...Or tractor beams at that matter.

@@Salephz Only need to buy it and the resources needed when ready to jump and could sell as soon as you arrive in the next sector.
