The Iconians

Is it me or is it just annoying to fight them?

[Sirius]

Sure is.

Sadly, that's also the point.
Wait until the Nak'hul or whatever those shiny plastic red ship flying asshats are called.

Edit: Iconians or the Nak are not hard as such, just terribly annoying and tedious.

I've fought the time traavel dudes, they're annoying but still "fun" to fight.

The Iconians are just damage sponges that hit like a train and clone themselves in combat.

Dunno.

Depending on what build you use, I find the Iconians to be a bit tanky, yes, but managable without too much trouble.

The Nak'hul however piss me off because I have to switch targets so often when they pull that ship shadow stunt. Also making me loose my buff windows sometimes because of that fact, ruining my attack runs.

It's just tedious.

The Iconians by comparison are still annoying, but less so.
There was a time when I found the Borg to be annoying af, now they are a mere nuisance.
Same with the Iconians.

Nak'hul? Still tick me off.

That's just my opinion, anyway of course.

I'm ok to switch targets every now and then.

But when every engagement involves running around reviving everyone, then killing endless hourdes of constructs...then I take issue.

Depends upon your ship build - the Iconians often end up swarming you with probes, raiders & fighters. If you favor heavier weapons with slower recharge times and/or narrow firing arcs, then you're in far more trouble than you would be with most opponents. It's worth the grief to have a beam boat loadout for that reason alone.

I can deal with most problems in spaace...it's ground...with their toughest units...Harbingers...that sort of thing.
