Why does the super nuke suck and other questions.

[The Shadow Rose]

Just wondering since its supposed to be as far as i can tell our best nuke but theres no awesome explosion when it goes off and it feels like it really sucks vs the black hole nuke. I got the black hole one before the super one though so i assume the last nuke possible was the super nuke but now that i think about it that doesnt make alot of sense.

On a side question what are all the precurser items you can find and where can you find them? I have like half of them.

Another side question about fleet and non fleet stuff. Does fleet stuff work on your ship as well or are only normal ones good on your ship and apply cause i want the -50% dmg reduction on the fleet 3 i have.

What do i put in the yellow slots? I have like 3 free ones and only the accelerator but as far as i can tell most stuff doesnt stack. At least lander stuff doesnt.

Also does the persistant missile add on to whatever missile you have equipped or is it its own missile? Its hard to tell cause ive noticed a second missle and my missile going longer then normal.

It's hard to argue with the heavy Gatling, agreed. It's very satisfying to land the perfect nuke, but the recharge and range of the Gatling is just too good to pass up.

its actually a bit of a shame some of the weaker weapons dont get more love, it would open up more interesting tatics

No clue what weapon that is or where to get it >.>

The Shadow Rose,
the Heavy gatling lazer can be bought from the Maelnir at Delta Corpus. It costs approximately 20,000 RU

Don't forget what really make it strong.... the massive push back on enemy ships with repeated hits. It can devastate Harmony Cruisers.

Adam Baldwin's Syndicate ship has the gatling laser as its primary and it is a nice weapon.

The super nuke really could use an explosion effect. But the HEFTY amount of crew it takes off is its own reward. It can one-shot a lot of smaller ships and tends to home JUST enough to make it tolerable.

Singularity missile is just way better. It will 1 shot everything under a battle cruiser and 2 shot it. It only fails with dreadnoughts other then that i love it with the ai module. Kills everything fast and even in the case of dreadnaughts they die rather easily with very few losses. Its looking better then the gattling laser with the ai anyway.

My issue with the missiles, unless its just me is, their tracking ability is terrbile. Mine barely deviate from a straight line.

Are they not actually supposed to full on track, as mine never do, regardless of which missile I use.

Against Scryve dreanaughts they are next to useless, even though they are huge they can out move the missles.....infact I actually loose againt them quite often and have to reload, I would say it takes me sometimes 5 attempts before I win. as the missiles just miss by a mile.

Really? With the ai module my ship with the black hole missile slaughters everything and can kill like 10 dreadnauts lol.

Eh i like exploring more then the fights personally but thats me. I also dont like fighting like 10 - 20 ships in a row so i rather just let the ai do it.

My personal favorite was the Tracking Plasma Cannon (Myconid weapon, for the SC classic lovers). Decent range, great damage, and velocity impacted by physics. The missiles just never added up.

Unrelated but I'm so glad there isn't a Yehat species with ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ AI instant shield that cannot be planned around cuz they have perfect reaction times.

I found one of these in this game. But I didn't write down where. This with the fighter launcher as secondary weapon kills anything easily. The fighter by itself can kill any of the smaller ships. I was able to defeat the system that has a ton of Scryve fleets using only this.
