      Seems like mini-Asgards. But if they can´t match the range, than normal Asgard can still delete them from 13km.

    0:46 " in systems in witch you have stations"
    no not just system in which you have stations ---> in systems in which you have assets ( excluding deployables ) such as mining ships , trade ships, or 1 single ship at all, and yes while the mining ships are out mining too. anywhere you have 1CR of value this crisis can pop up after you cross the credit threshold amount of 1/2 million (this number is tracked separately from the Empire Tab numbers as well so you have no ( at a glance ) way of knowing how close you are to the threshold ( intel-i-gen-ti-cal-ous game design ) )

  • @axinite2545
    @axinite2545 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

    So if I keep a trader/scout in pretty much every system I can kind of bait attacks into other factions, and then focus only on attacks in where I would care about losing assets?
    Been working hard to keep the xenon sectors as alive as long as possible. And getting them into terrain territory is a struggle since terrans share no sectors with them. So definitely would be helpful if I could get as many xenon as possible to teleport into as many sectors as possible.

    I'm very new to the game but its already ao difficult to get started ill probably role back to 6.2 as soon as it comes out. They have nerfed everything for newbies like me to get started. Did one start so far, 14 hours in i got steamrolled from 2 directions by Xenon wiping out Argon sectors so the wharf couldnt produce ships. Very brutal for a newb.

    i am currently at 15th system attacked, was defending systems all day yesterday and its still not over and im tired of it at this stage, its not challenging, just annoying. fleets are only big enough to cause chaos with your trade and mining ships. you cant plan or strategise anything cos the fleets will just drop in at random locations making you jump back and forth for 30 real life hours. hearing the same voice lines X times frustrates even more. feels like this was designed in 5 minutes just to slap a feature on the box so the german govt thinks theyre doing something.

      ​@@BlackRainEntertain if you teleport around and fight in the asgards yourself then even one per, lets say 2 jumps should be enough. it really isnt "hard" the problem is you will probably still lose many trade ships as it takes a long time to finish and it can be hard to predict where the ships will come from, since they just spawn in from nowhere and tend to go after your supply lines. also good luck with it :)

    Why not simply build several fleets of 10-20 Asgards? I've not played 7.0 yet, but I'm pretty sure they can take apart any of these ravagers fairly quickly.

    • @frozendefender
      @frozendefender 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I tested that, 1 or 2 asgards is more than enough to decimate the ravagers, 10 is over kill and in high attention mode the asgards are more likely to nuke eachother with the ATF beam because the AI is wonky like that
      I had 3 fleets with 1 asgard and 4 destroyers mopping up the crisis waves, worked wonders

      @@theslay66 Where is the 1 Billion from? I'm asking out of curiosity, because all i found when googling it was this:
      "The crisis will trigger upon reaching around half a billion in assets, most of which should be military. This is based on construction cost, i.e. not the monetary value you see in the Empire Menu."
      I'd love to have a more specific info about that. The thing is, if 'assets' count stations as well, i'd easily have several billions worth in every current game. I do however have no current save with over 350 million in ships shown in the empire menu. That consists of mainly miners, followed by freighters and basically just a few real combat fleets which aren't even that big so they should make the smallest portion even with the asgard as capital ship. I'm also pretty far away from 500.000.000 cash in every save which makes the details for accidently triggering the crisis even more important.
      Edit: I really don't know what to think about the option to trigger it that way and having to pay for opting out. I mean, it was announced as optional crisis, but as i see it, it's about as optional as: "Nice car! Pay me 1k bucks if it shall stay that way!" Which isn't exactly what i would call optional 😆

    You mentioned docked threshers, I have still been using the Jian for this purpose. On the introduction of the Thresher I considered it a possible replacement, but have not been certain that the Thresher is better suited to this purpose than the Jian - even though have more turrets - because of their placement making the increased quantity useless in a docked position, or so my thinking was. Additionally ARG flak are a bit better than arc turrets, few enough people actually use this strategy that I am not sure it has been adequately tested. (this helps asgards and the erlking a lot too!)
    I am glad to see an analytical view on the new threat as well. I am looking to preparing the save for 7.0 and this helps a lot. do you know if the xenon are spawned in? or warped from elsewhere like going to a sector edge? Xenon are nearly extinct in my current save - I allowed them to keep Emperor's pride only and worry that terran intervention may eventually break them.
    I have seen torpedos make quick work of Ravagers as well in a somewhat messy carrier launched bomber squad, so I think maybe a small fleet of frigates may have the survivability and the attack range to handle these as well. May be worth testing.
    Another under investigated aspect of this game is it's mechanics behind custom start budgeting. Be it the money, crew points, knowledge and relationships, and universe state none of it has been covered well.

    • @immi9748
      @immi9748  7 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      The tresher has 5 upward facing turrets and the Jian 6, if I got that right. And the tresher is way cheaper than the Jian. Some people say that the ARC turret is better when close by, but OOS, the FLAK should be better.
      Here is some external data from someone, and the performance of the ARC goes hand in hand with my own experience.
      docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1U-9WJapDSt50WlMrkqEO-zD0tgGwa27XpuzhLFINUU4/edit#gid=0
      If the Tresher or the Jian is better, I actually have no clue. But since I know that the Jian is used by most people, I just want to bring up the Tresher.
      I spammed satellites to find out if the Xenons just spawned or something happened. But so far, I have not been able to observe anything. I could have also spent more time trying to observe something.
      I tried the Osprey shortly with torpedoes, since they can tank the beams for a while. Mabye, I used too little of them to be effective so far. But I also saw that when torpedoes hit, they do good damage.

    • @Hlieyto

      Yes, the Xenon are spawned in like Kha'ak are. It's part of a lot of negative feedback on the crisis breaking most of the rules of the game, where (Kha'ak/pirates excluded) everything is built or comes from somewhere.

      ​@@immi9748 I think the osprey is bad here as well. A faster frigate (or corvette) such as a cobra or gorgon will be more able to get out of the line of fire of a turret or move out of range more effectively - the Osprey may be able to take more damage, but it's speed causes it to take much more damage in real combat scenarios that would otherwise be mitigated, I believe this applies to both in high attention and low attention modes.

    I am getting over run and my big ships as usual totaly useless at doing their job.
    I dont understand why enemy ships easily point their mainguns towards my assets but my ships totally fail to ofthen even hit a big station with the mainguns.
    I lost all my fighter by now and have about 10 Asgards and some carriers left. But the mainguns of the ravagers are melting my assets i cant keep up.
    Now i have 2 invasions at once and they only attack my sectors. No other faction is attacked.
    Boso keeps telling me to get there early to maybe see something. I havent found out yet how to stop it. And at the same time the Terrans keep attacking my station in Saturn 1 and i have no idea why. And i am friends with terrans and i reloaded so many times by now but at some point for some reason they start attacking the station but only some patrols the rest still trades and flys by the station. What could trigger them?

    • @immi9748
      @immi9748  7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Did you try turn the main gun of the Asgard off?
      Would be nice to know if the Ravager is still able to align his weapon of doom against Asgards that are move around the Ravager which should be the case when the main gun is deactivated cause they have no reason to stand still anymore then.
      In my experience, mainguns only work if the target decids to not move (that doesn't mean that they hit).

      @@immi9748 I think my main problem was i was in middle of a big fight in xenon territory as the crisis started. My defenses for stations are weak and ships far apart. And them jumping on your stations is rbutal this way. I always defended my stations with ships. I also learned today that Ships can aim up or down in X4. its so stupid and that causes the big ships to struggle getting their mainguns on targets if they are not on same height on the map.
