Great stuff. Note that the 250m inner radius of the Sentinel EMP allows you to fly escorts (like other Vanguard) alongside the Sentinel and they won't be hit by a pulse, including multiple Sentinels who can then pulse gain and again. Sentinels rule.
There is a page that shows the EMP magnitude and inner and outer radius of each of the EMPs, but the page link is not working at present. Someone may find it on googledocs. The thing that has changed was people complained that the Sentinel was killing Carracks and HHs with a single pulse, so...
BTW, there is a lot of misinformation on YouTube by players posting who do not know what they're talking about. The worst offenders are those saying how "everyone" is now choosing to mix high shield strength and high refresh rate shields so you get the best of both worlds. This is plainly not...
I would not engage 8 ships alone unless they were AI. If they're AI just use your guns. The FR-76 are really tough to crack. Also there is the EMP to consider. If you run out of missiles there's much less reason to fly in stealth mode so your shields will be on and your EMP up. No one will...
I think the task matters. Most players don't use stealth because they're just loading their ships for optimal combat, pointing and shooting. It's very rare to find pilots who fly defensively, as if dying were a thing to be avoided. There is some pilot training here at TEST if you're caught...
No. It wouldn't be until full EM warfare comes in game, but the systems do operate the way I described most of the time.
There are reports that none of this above matters, and all stealth ships are invisible to sensors out to 1.4km, but I have seen lots of evidence that reports like that are...
The only problem with erkul is it does not give you the information in useful form to design for stealth, meaning it does not give EM sig numbers for coolers and reactors at a glance. For that use hardpoint...
He seems to agree, this is much more firepower than we were originally led to believe. I doubt an Idris would last past twenty seconds against this, maybe less than half that. If you want BFGs, here they are.
