Each officer only has 1 elite skill used; it's usually Elite Target Analysis. So, this fleet uses 15 story points in total.
This isn't to say this fleet is really strong compared to something like missile spam, it's just to show how mobility and strategy can play a part to make a fleet better without boosting their stats with smods, cyber aug and so on.
Move a fast ship to the front center of the map to verify which point the AI is assaulting in the beginning
Capture the point the AI capturing with a token force, do whatever it takes to slow down the AI from capturing any points until 240 DP can be launched.
Once 240 DP is launched, start picking apart the enemy fleet by capturing enemy points behind their frontlines. Only harass (avoid) their frontline, do not commit to attacking them.
Destroy enemy ships until the enemy reveals a weakness and then pounce on it.
Repeat until either the enemy AI stops capturing points (takes some 8-12 minutes, I haven't timed it), you win or you retreat and re-engage to repeat this gruella warfare.
You can use superior mobility of small craft to surround and disable high threat targets with emp or intense kinetic damage once they are isolated. make sure these surrounding small ships have 360 degree shields or a shield with damper. With S-mods, there's plenty of ships you can have work. Without s-mods, only really Omen is up to the task, though centurion could possibly work for a limited time.
Big threats to worry about: Do not let the Odysseys engage a Nova, Radiant or similar directly, this is extremely important. They are there to help kill stragglers quickly or provide locust/sabot damage while your wolfpack disables the enemy. Worry about enemy sabot and tachyons or similar hard to evade burst damage, that kills your small ships. At least small ships like frigates and destroyers are cheap to replace.

Nicely done. I've been working on how to use the order system more effectively, and I can say that fight was much more elegant than I can usually manage.

That Scarab build reminds me of when Alex had to put high delay burst lasers onto the fighters instead of having normal burst lasers! I love the build and your piloting skill!
Edit:nvm you show your character skill at the end I just missed it!

i remember watching your "how to control wolfpack tactics" and "retribution" videos. They made me play starsector 😭

[@Talos45]

This guy/girl has recorded 3 of the almost non-existent videos on the Retribution ship, my favourite. Just for that, he/she's a legend!

Blasting hw soundtrack while playing any space game is a pleasure

[@sgi_cris3780]

His scarab build reminded me of the multi beam frigates from cataclysm

[@MisterG_Gaming]

Maybe I should try Scarabs one day. Good job 🤘

Nice gameplay, but do you know about swapping to an empty weapon group to have all weapons autofiring? I.E. press 4 with the Scarab or Sunder so you can focus on piloting.
