  • hoo boy did this take a while. but i eventually got it. (even if I used a full skill character q.q)
    the trick was Insulated Engine Assembly to let the engines survive the Realty Disruptors EMP vape cloud. from there it was just outlasting the Facets, Shards, and Aspects.
    though it was not a clean fight it still was fun, in retrospect i wonder if putting the Mk IX in the rearward mounts would've been smarter though. something to ponder i guess.

      Between Impact Mitigation and the built-in "distributed fire control" hullmod you're dealing 1/4th the damage to those guns. Armored Weapon Mounts double those guns durability.
      Also DFC+Resistant Flux Conduits+Polarized Armor cumulatively reduces EMP Damage by 81%
      And the S-modded Automated Repair Unit reduces the time those guns come back online by 75%

    Invictus is the hardest non-Remnant ships we can encounter as an enemy in Starsector, when it shows up at bounties that bounty just become much harder than normal. Currently the way I use to counter Invictus is a Xyphos Legion XIV, even Invictus can't survive against the 2 salvos from cyclone reaper! Onslaught with 4 reaper also works well against it.

    The invictus is genuinely terrifying for me to witness in my runs since I use a mod to make armour last longer and require complete depletion in a given sector of a ship to start doing hull damage, because it can just outlast my fleets if I don't have sufficient anti-armour. It doesn't need to kill my ships itself, it just needs to wait patiently for my ships to explode from critical malfunctions.

      Your values for XIV armor and Invictus armor are both wrong. Invictus is 10,000. XIVslaught is 1850. With AWM Invictus is 11,000 but with AWM XIVslaught is 2024...
      Also, the Invictus only has 10% of its armor for damage calculation. So although it has 10,000 armor points, all incoming damage is mitigated as if it only has 1,000 armor. Then at 7,000 armor, its calculated as if 700, etc...
      Obviously still very tanky, but it's an important distinction.
