Difficulty Spike with Redeemer enemies

[kaincypher]

I've got a 3rd Tier Interceptor, Lvl 19. with the top shields and armor as my level allows. I can wipe out almost as many bloodstar mooks as they can throw at me, but the redeemer enemies chew my ship to ♥♥♥♥ in seconds. What gives and is there a specific defense against whatever it is they're using?

Corrosion mines an cloaking shield, really all u need is the Corrosion Mines, load ip yhe mines, an thrust ya way though, jus keep thrustin an turnin as u pump out mines, they can even take out a capital ship. I'm a higher level, but it works the same https://youtu.be/gX2L7mJmPgA

Its their weaponry. They focus on thermal cannons to reduce your Shield pretty fast.
They are the main reason why i switched to Flak...... kill them before they get close enough for acounterattack. Be extra careful if you see one of their frigattes and Blue crystals embedded in structures. They use a strong energy weapon that chews through your Ship if you stay too long in one place.
They are also the enemy, that will introduce you to the frontshield generator. you will see it, when its active. Dont waste shoots against that shield, unless you have a weapon with AoE damage.
