it`s not even superior range, the enemy is already in range of it`s attacks, if it weren`t the ai is smart enough to approach. it`s just a heavy lategame ship against frigates
4 Lances would have made things way faster. Why even have your shield up if nothing ever hits it? Also 4 lances can fire around the stations shields so you don't have to out flux a freaking station.
yeah, at first it seems reasonable to just get 4 lances but the beam weapons are flux efficient and good at outfluxing opponents, that Paragon had no trouble overloading the station because of it
the ai only has access to a set amount of commands and ai itself isnt very aggressive in any way. from what i gather they basically stay away from your effective range(aka where all your guns can hit,including pd) this something ive notice with my own fleets aswell. if they dont have a reckless or aggressive officer. they will not touch the enemy if they're within range of it
@@someguyontheinternet1093 This is why the Remnants and Pathers are so dangerous as all Remnants are fearless which is basically a enhanced reckless meaning they often go point blank which is dangerous when combined with their rather strong ships and pathers have their AI set to favor reckless habits which while not usually a problem alone when combined with their almost universal safety overrides and tendency to attack in large numbers results in them easily killing any ship that gets pushed away from the group or killing your flagship if you are a Paragon solo and get even slightly careless. Think those two groups cause me more trouble then anything else due to me preferring to solo enemy fleets or use a minimum number of ships to maximize supply gains.
When blasting shields why not switch off the HILs and switch to using the Tachyon Lances? HIL does High Explosive damage and costs 500 flux/s to fire but only deals 250 damage/s to shields so it's not very efficient against shields.

Having better range than your opponent seems really powerful.
It is when you use an overpowered modded ship.
@@Mordenperson It even is, if its not overpowerd.
@@prome3439 Not in the new version.
This entire end game fleet battle is range > all.
@@Mordenperson shooting a stationary(lol) target from out of its range is not overpowered?
I loved the pirates' bombing runs. "Let's run our bombing trajectory directly into all those shiny lasers!"
Hey, who put all these Laserpointer in the donut?
The most dangerous (and arguably delicious) donut in the sector
engineers: how much range do you want captain?
capt: yes
Oh wait, that's not just "Elite" Paragon, that's IV Paragon from High-Tech Expansion.
Yep, its shield is so OP
@@MoshiKnight is this a mod?
@@chrispelletier8654 yes, it is the high tech expansion mod
@@TR-ru7wl does it rebalance enemy factions? because i foung the game too easy.
@@chrispelletier8654 yes. but if you find the game too easy us nexerelin and play in starfarer mode. it's basically hard mode.
It's so nice of these ships to come out alone into the death beams

Nobody's gonna mention the little dipshit enemy who died at 0:29 without ever coming within range of the enemy, huh? LOL
Committed suicide in fear.

personally i like using ion beams so doesnt matter really they just a floating pile of junk
outfluxing an entire station is the biggest flex anyone could do
yeah, at first it seems reasonable to just get 4 lances but the beam weapons are flux efficient and good at outfluxing opponents, that Paragon had no trouble overloading the station because of it
@@projectkepleren Beating a vanilla encounter with a modded ship is not impressive at all
really satisfying to watch their flux go up then their hull strength go down
Does it mainly work because the AI in station battles always clusters around the station rather than attack the ship that is picking them all off?

I feel like im in a freaking rave with all the lights
Thanks for this setup, still finetuning mine, but ya heaps of fun.
2:20 LOL
what mods are you using?
It's a paragon variant from High Tech Expansion.
Mmmmm Donuts....

What's the weird cut at 5:05
he probably fucked up deactivating the shields and overloaded
Embarrassing overload 😁 he might have cut it out, out of shame, but we all know what happened 😂

I swear pirates have no will to live in this game lol
i just put on 4 plasma cannons and they just die
Try the uhlan cannons from the diable avionics mod, they're fun
@@samarkand1585 alright i will try that
2:19 lmao i hate that so much
You proceed to destroy their station and massacre their fleet and yet your rep only goes down by 3 lol
"Tis but a minor setback."
tbh this is like a minor station but yeah 3 is too few
This is just any ship against the game's shitty AI really. These videos don't show much.
makes the game boring it seems. why not just make the smallest fastest ship in the game this powerful?
