Uhh so I bought a fresh onslaught xiv from jangala and i realized I already had 5 other onslaughts so I decided to build in shield stunt and heavy armor and tried to make the most tanky ship ever except i forgot to use a polorized armor officer but ill get that soon, so yeah i hit 3k armor removed all the flux and vents for a billion hullmods and slapped on a reckless officer and put it against a paragon and somehow it won so yeah.

Shield shunt without resistant flux conduits and automated repair units is a crime

i cant ever seem to adopt armor only builds, they are still not viable to me. i'd rather have infinite shield than temporal armor that doesnt even last much for prolonged fights... we need a ship mod to increase armor by huge % with speed penalty, heavy armor has a specific number and other mods have little % to be viable..

[@overdramaticpan]

"sir! how shall we defeat the paragon? it has vastly superior flux stats alongside EMP damage!" just shoot at it lmao

[@pedi-kun3978]

seeing flux distributor instead of just vent hurt me

when ships become torpedoes

[@Rraaaaain]

mfw i see a player build onslaught fight an autofit simagon (simagon's ai is stupid enough to turn on fortress shield every time it takes damage, thus overloading itself)

[@HyperXcube]

the problem this thing would get eaten alive in a fleet battle

[@singularitytr1550]

I now see a new way to build ships, weapons, and hullmods first, vent, and capacity second.

[@kaiserdragon33]

@@singularitytr1550 depends sometimes you will need to overflux a little bit to destroy enemy ships faster before performance peak drops too much

[@hotdog9262]

ballistic rangefinder have little place in that build. so do flux distributor, if vents are not maxed

[@kaiserdragon33]

its a shame that in this game there is still not a viable only armor build yet. armor runs out fast, shields never, i'd make a mod for ships to actually boost armor by big % so you can forget about shields and focus on loading best weapons and have high armor to make a ship durable for prolonged battle, quite balanced to a shielded one. maybe just counter it with speed penalty .. but yeah, there is still no viable armored ship build, invictus does not count, it has high starting armor and is meant to be heavily escorted
