Asgard is the most useless ship when AI piloted! Prove me wrong...

[Hanalyd]

So this just just circles around other capital ships instead of engaging head on so the target is actually in range of the main weapons. The pilot flying it was 4 stars almost 5 but just super incompetent.

[EXPLODENSTEIN]

What it really is, is the NPC pilots are idiots no matter how many star and what ship they use.

The Asgard is a useless ship when the player pilots it too

Yea normal day for asgard.

Pilot: must aim main baterry
enemy: reposition
Pilot: must aim main baterry
enemy: reposition
Pilot: must aim main baterry

Pilot: must aim main baterry

Pilot: search new ship

repeat process

XL Battleship should only have Turrets to be effective, the turnrate is to terrible to use with main weapon.

They should probably only attempt to target stations for now.

Pilot: fires & misses

A modded Asgard with Terran L Laser turrets and flak can solo just about anything.

You can one shot I's or take down multiple K's before they even get in range.

Slasher modded turrets mulch S/M swarms, and your shields shrug off anything you wouldn't target with yoyr main guns.

Your only weakness is your engines, and you can mitigate that by moving in reverse as you engage swarms.

Use it as a weapon platform. It has twin turrets. Set them to attack. I have erlking next to Hatikvah's gate protected by an asgard. Erlking is on repeat collection orders, asgard is set to defend with turrets in attack mode. Works fine. I'll probably add one more with plasma loadout later.

A player can kill all xenon in the universe with a single asgard. Especially if it is a modded asgard. It is the most powerful ship in the game. Should've been probably called Juggernaut or Bulldozer.

[Geist]

The Asgard in the players hands is the "I win" button. It is not a ship, but a giant cannon with an engine at the end that can atomise the strongest destroyers in the game in a single shot, and is mainly used to kill stations. If you try to shoot anything faster than a stationary destroyer or a station with it, you are using it wrong.

[DarthMalak]

When setup corectly is the best station basher in the game,, AI controlled or not.. Throw plasma on it and let it bombard..... Stations die so quickly

Front 4 L turrets: Paranid Plasmas
Back 4 L turrets: Terran Beams
M turrets: Argon Flaks
M dock: Jian with 6 Argon Flaks

Congrats, you have won the game

Just park your Asgard at any XEN station, turn on SETA and get yourself a drink

Why Argon Flaks when Split Flak does almost twice the damage?

[Konaan]

Argon Flaks have better tracking speed. Likely hit more often,

"- Split Flak has very large dispersion and struggles to hit fighters"
"- Split Flak has very short firing range"

Slower turning, shorter range, slower bullet speed.

Aaah ok I didn't know thanks!

[Dinvan]

Whyrlywig Asgard go burrrrrr

But seriously, slap plasma on the front L turrets, Beams on the rear. all M can be missle or flak.

With whyrlywig the asgard spins around fast enough to kill K and I with ease. Anything else the turrets melt.

Ofcourse, the pilot can still miss the shot......♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ Jeff !!!

[Tyrannosaurus Flex]

It's also nice to just let your asgard do some OOS station deconstruction while you focus on other tasks. I haven't had it fight an I or swarms of fighters OOS yet, but it swatted away K's no problem. I think it has to do with the way turrets work OOS.
