@@MarkhasSteelfort Considering how much domain navy liked big ships and the thing that these ships(invictus/retribution) predates onslaught, these are more specialized designs, I guess.
The reason is that ballistic slots are cool and speed is also cool. The combination of ballistics and speed in the capital is only here. And here we go.
Lowtech odyssey with an infinitely better hardpoint layout. This will be fun if I ever find it. The reason why it works so well is the high speed. 150 shown here in this video with 0 flux? THATS FAST. Then you factor in the 400 speed from orion and that it can ram super well with a perfect hardpoint loadout to unload crazy damage? You can do hit and run if you get auxiliary jets for manuverability or similar pilot skill or just Ludd it like you showed us here.
@@TheSweetSpirit not that long... at least as i remember the "soundwave ship" from the early days... someones bound to make a meme one out of this as well =).
Wow, I never manage to outmanoeuver the remnants! Mostly, I try to make a ball of ships they can't crack, but it's incredibly tough against their ECM rating.
You should try the Nova if you like ramming. The Nova has a higher sustained burst speed and (SOMEHOW) has higher ship mass, making it better for ramming. Too bad it requires neural integrator.

To be perfectly honest anything looks good with 3 Smods, a level 9 officer, player controls and heavily D-modded REDACTED with no real threat to you. I doubt the ship could be of much use in that configuration when AI controlled, making it only really viable in your hands. I personally really dont get your commitment to shields either. You may be better off using High Tech ships if S-modding Hardened Shields is your preferred way of playing. Smodding the Retribution Heavy armor, Shield Shunt and a heavier missile load out would both improve the AI control of the ship and give you more DPS overall
The purpose of this video was mainly to show average SS players who don't know how builds work, how strong retribution can be in player hands. So many people in the unofficial starsector discord were going on about how trash it is, even compared to the aurora for player use. I disagreed. It was also a test for me to see how the cryoblaster build I showcased here compares to the other non-omega build I made before this one. Already several days ahead of you on you trying to complain about cryoblasters. Go watch the ReRetribution video, which uses no cryoblasters at all and is *only* the retribution vs. a Diktat bounty. or don't watch it, whatever. I do not know why anyone would use a Retribution with Heavy Armor and Shield Shunt. My brother in Ludd this ship has base 10k hull base 800 armor. Why are you trying to fully commit to the literal worst aspect of this ship? In contrast, its base flux capacitors of 15k is decent and 1.2 shield efficiency is salvagable. Furthermore, the Retribution has very high top speed for its size class, only 5 less top speed than an aurora. That sort of speed pairs much better with rush in, dump weapons, retreat at high flux, vent, repeat. You want shields for that sort of playstyle, not armor. Also, when I first made this video, it was when the Retribution cost 40 DP. I would never use the retribution for AI for 40 DP. Now that it costs 35 DP, I think it has a place in AI hands and I plan to make a video showcasing it.
in my opinion, in AI hand retribution doesnt handle to well, AI tend to use his mobility just to stay away from battle. using reckless officer in this thin armored capital also no go. so this ship maybe exclusive for player only if you want his true potential, CMIIW
Wow I can’t believe I showed the bralwers and not the eradicators. I couldn’t tell you what build I used for them, they were just some eradicators I built up during my campaign. Most of my videos I used console command to set up, this one was actually mostly my vanilla campaign.
That skill loadout should be illegal. Dude, makeshift equipment literally halves your supply use, hull restoration will get rid of all of your Dmods, Field repairs and salvaging are musts, and you’re not even using sensors?!?
Which is the skill issue Being level 15 without having so much money, income and logistics you can pay credits to restore frigate-cruiser d-mods without even batting an eye, Or being level 15 and using a bunch of skill points to gather even more credits that have no real point as of 0.96 beyond paying to restore dmods, buy colony buildings (which you probably have maxed out by level 15 anyway) and buy ships (which you probably aren't doing because your fleet is max size)?

I like how the capital ships of the church are either the fastest boy or the fuckwagon.
They are actually early Domain designs.

So glad this ship is getting the love it deserves, it's so damn fun to fly it feels illegal
Check out a new Retribution video I just posted, showcasing Retributions controlled by the AI and very bad SOForcer piloting!
Retribution is the epitome of low tech solutions to hi tech problems.
Like a stone shoved into the exhaust pipe of a droneship that makes it explode.
Petition to add the fart reverb sfx to the system of that ship
Rocket jumping in space
Jebediah Kerman Approved.
@@TheSweetSpirit Soldier tf2 moment
It's not ordinary rocket jumping, it's Nuclear rocket jumping!

I can see why it is nicknamed 'The Fart Ship'

Ive got mine with 3 Mjolnirs and 4 Heavy Maulers..with some Vulcan cannons and a couple of torps. Its awesome.
@@IIIJG52 Try 2 Mjolnirs, 5 Light Dual Autocannons, Ballistic Rangefinder (You can use BRF, just not ITU), a Hellbore and flaks.
Crescent it: "Master Blaster."
This music! I almost immediately recognized it from CrossCode, very nice choice.
Hi!
@@TheSweetSpirit Lea!
Oh wow, you made a SO build without SO
There is no escape from SOMeta.
Being a de facto SO capital is basically what the Retribution and Nova were intended to be.
And yes, they are pretty awesome.
so this ship has a literal "fart"-drive... yeeaahh.... =P
how long do you think it will take to replace the orion drive sfx with echo fart sfx?
@@TheSweetSpirit not that long... at least as i remember the "soundwave ship" from the early days... someones bound to make a meme one out of this as well =).

It's a nuke fart!
Wow, I never manage to outmanoeuver the remnants! Mostly, I try to make a ball of ships they can't crack, but it's incredibly tough against their ECM rating.
What's the song?
A song from a video game called CrossCode. It's 'The Final Trial' from CrossCode DLC, if I remember correctly.
I love ramming stuff with this ship it’s unreal
You should try the Nova if you like ramming. The Nova has a higher sustained burst speed and (SOMEHOW) has higher ship mass, making it better for ramming. Too bad it requires neural integrator.

What is that mod that shows you your directional velocity and and the lead target marker?
QoL mod has the heading indicator
@@rottenmeat5934 QoL doesn't work in current 0.96. Also I don't think QoL has this feature.
However the Ship Direction Marker (name of the mod) is done by the same author. Just go to the Starsector Forums.
Ship Direction Marker and Leading Pip respectively
Hammerhead from hell
Which modpack is your character from? or did you make it yourself?
It was probably either Another Portrait Pack or Interesting Portraits Pack.
@@TheSweetSpirit cool thanks Ill check those out
I want to ask something is from a mod or is the base game?
Retribution was recently released in 0.96.
I am using a few cosmetic mods.
The nova is kinda lame, for a remnant ship it literally cant defend itself at all lol
It needs to be supported heavily. Once you out flank it, it's toast.
But it can hit you really hard and fast if you aren't careful.
