Hey Developer, is the space battle against the Drukhari in Odaenathus XI some kind out of season April Fool's?

[AnEvilJoke (get/rekt)]

Just wanting to confirm that as I get murdered in wave 3 all the time besides the fact that my ship is equipped with the best I can get in Act 2, done all other space battles (and won ofc), maxed out Navy reputation + bought everything/used what is usefull.

Yes, I'm using the abilities their trickery lets me use.

And yes, the hull is upgraded (252hp) and repaired.

I also have the escort, which is only usefull to be slaugthered in turn one by the ship that can't reach me anyways.



I mean, I get it: The fight is meant to be hard, the textbox beforehand says as much... Yet with all that described above? The ships hit way harder than their bigger cruiser cousins a system over.

Or might it simply be that I play on Daring dificulty and not on Games Journalist?

I personally didn't really struggle with the ship combat that much until act 5 where the enemy suddenly started dealing 3/4 of my ships hp through shields

act 5 is the worst. you have to lure them into torpedoes non stop; and the stupid 3 torpedo ability must be bugged.

i think i was able to use in like 3 combats the entire game it is always greyed out.

The new update addressed the difficulty of space battles. Should be easier now.

You are talking about the system with the 5 or 6 fleet (but beating any of them will remove them all)?

The one that keep spawning new waves every time you clean one?

That ♥♥♥♥ is not only ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, but also buggy as hell.
I managed to clean it by blowing up both ships in the same turn, which trigger the end of the fight (because there is no one enemies in the fight)... but then the enemies do spawn, under your victory screen. So I QUICKLY click okay and left before they start to attacking me, because they sure were playing their turn as normal.

LOL just struggling with this battle now. First time in the history of video games that I had to turn the difficulty down to STORY MODE.

[REhorror]

For this fight, I just use the OP torpedo power, I'm surprised how fast it goes.

[Mr.Damm]

I'm not sure if this is intended design or not (probably not), but you can open the voidship management screen ("V") mid-combat and do a hull repair if you have enough scrap.

Otherwise, you can ram those ships pretty effectively for one hit kills or kite with torpedos. Also, no shame coming back later once you have more ship levels / upgrades, this is a perfect fight to use some of the ultimate abilities. Any of them would help turn the tide (I really like Empyrean Storm for this fight).

Yep. The Drukhari Missiles shred shields an absurd amount. Those need toning down, big time. On Unfair one Drukhari destroyer ripped through my shields (to the extent of actually disabling it) and I lost 50% hp from the following attack in the same turn by another ship.

And we’ve got another “I’m playing on hard, why is the game hard?!” Weirdo

And we've got another pretentious type who doesn't like it when people criticize his favorite game.

Your point?

The Drukhari Missiles shred you even on Normal and Daring. They're overtuned. It's literally no secret they're overtuned. And when you have 6 of those ships who open up with Missiles you get screwed over, not to forget the Drukhari ships have more movement than you.

This battle is totally unbalanced, was the only time in Act2 that I had to lower difficulty, made it in Story diff very quickly after 5 attempts at Daring lol

I'm playing on Daring difficulty and I could only afford to upgrade my ship to 190 hull and my ship was only level 4, and although the battle was frustrating with all of the reinforcements, I barely took a third of my ship's health in damage for defeating them all. It helped that I had the escort ship upgrade. Not that it dealt much in terms of damage, but it helped me to crowd control them a bit and take some heat off me.

git gud

Because Owlcat made the battle way easier with the last major patch. It's now like 1/3 what it was before.

So take your 'git gud' and shove it where the sun dosen't shine.

I guess I got lucky, and luck IS a skill.

Only if one has to compensate of other things lacking.

I'm not lacking in anything except for care for your opinion.
