it can delete a xenon I before it overheats as well. thing is mad op

yup if you time your shot right to just use a little of the heat, you can kill 3 K's on a single recharge, at about 1 min to recharge.

totally agree I love mine and use it for clearing everything

Even without player control, I think they are OP, but I have 3 in my current game that just guard gates so the Split have a fighting chance to build up. The Zyarth now have 3 raptors in my game

Terran engines, with Whirlygig mod. Nanotube on hull, best mod (speed, agility ...)

Yes it's fully modded. I use Slasher on turrets (for the reload, doubles the DPS), and Annihilator on the main beam (for cooling and damage).

@@captaintekazed3001 what kind of turrets are the blue ones? The Pulse Laser Gatling like ones.

@@thesylance terran pulse ?

@@guigolum yeah, figured that out too. Thank you!

They certainly are, but they miss a LOT against anything smaller than a P. I like to see the S ships melts, even if it means that Ps stays alive a bit longer.

You cannot buy Asgards (without mods anyway). You have to steal them from the Terrans. There's always one in the Moon map, usually guarding the gate to Venus.

apart from stealing, you can also buy the plans for the asgard (iirc 27 standing with the terrans, you need both the asgard and the xl main weapon to even begin to build it, the asgard is somewhere arount 280mil)

I do take a little bit of damage (check at 1:50). I use Traction (+70% recharge rate, it's huge), so most of the time shield recharge rate is greater than damage taken.

@@captaintekazed3001 but doesn't recharge only happen if you're not taking immediate damage

@@juicebox6581 Not true. L and XL shield recharge all time, damage or not. Only S and M shield have their recharge stopped when they take damage.

@@captaintekazed3001 I did not know that

@@juicebox6581 only on subcaps. caps keep recharging all the time.

The Asgard is basically a gun platform... its slow and unmaneuverable but an absolute monster when parked at a gate to a Xenon sector, shields seem to be more effective than any other XL, turrets can be spec'd to steadily destroy S/M and the main guns can one shot L's and 1.3 shot XL's. Normally you can just ignore it and know it'll take care of itself and keep anything bigger than an M from getting away from the gate. During an invasion (more than 3 or 4 K's) you can take the helm (AI captains are too stupid to use the main guns) and clean up ANY SIZED invasion fleet of K's and I's in a couple minutes... then clean up the smaller stuff at your leisure. If all the invading K's concentrated fire on the Asgard they certainly could be a threat, but a single K can't really dent the shields and the AI again isn't smart enough yet to use those sort of tactics. I have a gate blockade fleet made of an Asgard and 9 Osaka's supported by a patrol with a pile of Osaka's and they can stop up the gate from Savage Spur without losing ships. very large invasions (with a ton of P's and N's) can take out turrets and engines on the Osaka's but they've never put a dent in anything mounted on the Asgard. I HAVE had issues with an Asgard I tried to fly to Savage Spur 1 to take out that crystal thing (part of a mission)... because it's so slow and they have this dumb rule that ANY xenon ship can lock out Travel drive on any enemy, they just harried it through multiple enemy sectors until they finally damaged the main engines. IMO no ship smaller than 1 level below another should ever be able to block it from doing anything it wants... that's a silly rule, an Asgard probably displaces 1000x the volume of an N yet ONE of them flying behind you can prevent you from engaging the Travel Drive... just dumb.

It's not. Asgard is quite fragile against big fighter swarm (VIG for example ...). It's very slow so no way to dictate how the fight goes.
