I know the Invictus is significantly less effective without an officer, but having damage control and combat endurance can make a difference even in capitals. It excels what the Paragon cannot: maintain an expandable kill zone. AI try to stay close then keep distance out of range, but the rangefinding extends into their kite range. That alone opens opportunities for an immediate slaughter of anyone caught in the spreading range. The fact being they are hardppoints mean the recoil is reduced significantly.
man seeing ody in npc fleets bringed me joy at first, then i saw how bad its ai actually is. hope they do something with it because its my favourite bc. you can absolutely solo some crazy fleets with it, and it can shit on everything it wants if it has space to move
The problem is the NPC Odys always have symmetrical loadouts, so the combat AI doesn't know which part of the ship to point at the enemy. Put your broadside on one side, and only PD weapons on the other, and the AI will fly it just fine.
@@MisterG_Gaming steady officer in RC 10 become too cautious even with surplus flux meanwhile agresive officer has suicidal tendency. i dunno for me it doesnt make playing experience better.
The AI in general seems a little goofier than before in the current build. More collisions and more flying across my line of fire. Had my Hyperion teleport *into* my Tachyon Lance path half a second before I fired it. Very silly stuff. On the other hand the AI is much more responsive to direct commands like Direct Retreat and Eliminate so idk what is going on there.
I hate this thing. I got in a fight with some alied forces took the rest of the fleet and the dumb ass AI alies decided to hug the stupid thing despite nit having guns big enough to take it out in a reasonable time so my options were lose a crap ton of rep by just blasting the hell out of it and taking the friendly fire or waiting untill its big guns either managed to take out the Frigates and corvettes swarming it or they managed to go death a thousand cuts on it neither of which would be fast
