Love the depth and detail these reviews give. An AI, not so much. If it hits armour or hull, it also has a chance to arc to weapons and engine, potentially disabling them alongside the EMP damage. I read one. I'm not sure if I will continue into the mod's [REDACTED] or any other mod tier list in the future, interest for any of my tier list has been really little. This is what you want from a phase ship, fast speed, good mounts and a ship system made for dealing even more backstab damage. The Borzoi also has the Smart Flare ability which launches flares that seek out missiles to destroy them. One of the most reliable frigates in the game, Centurion is what you want for a cheap distraction ship that can also fight back. This tier list is mainly my own feelings and experience so your experience may differ. Thanks for doing them! It pays for all these with its fairly pricy to deploy for a frigate at 7 DP. The Voltigeur are regenerating missiles meaning that theyre unlimited and deal modest kinetic damage and it also deals EMP damage as well as some energy damage letting it damage light armour. Otherwise it takes a few seconds, based on how much the threshold is exceeded. (12/10/21); In-development patch notes for Starsector 0.96a (12/04/23).

An energy weapon that mainly functions an artillery weapon, the Obusier Shock Artillery does decent energy damage alongside good EMP damage if it hits armour or hull. Its generally worse as PD compared to the Burst PD because of all this though it can shoot Sabots a little but its poor damage and DPS means it will likely not be able to stop it on its own. For more information, please see our If you enjoyed my tier lists, I'm going to shill some of the stuff I did by sharing tier lists I made for the Mayasuran Navy mod by Knight Chase and Black Rock Drive Yards mod by Cycerin. Medium version of the Blaze Gun, unfortunately its much worse now. Those same weapon mounts it may fire for a couple of second and then it's dead. Some abilities also make the fleet move slowly when activated. They are unlocked by spending Skill Points, which are earned upon leveling up, up to a maximum of 15 for the player and 8 (or 9) for Officers. *The total ECM rating for the deployed ships of both fleets is compared, and the losing side's weapon range is reduced by the difference, up to a maximum of 10% Does not apply to fighters, affects all weapons including missiles. Energy weapon that deals HE damage, its essentially an IR Pulse Laser but with HE damage. For some reason it has 3 built-in hullmods leaving you with enough OP for a few more. Illegal under Domain (and Hegemony) law, and an abomination to the Church of Galactic Redemption, the First AI War saw these creations purged from the Sector. Its a little better against armoured fighters as PD compared to the PD laser at 1 more OP though its a little weaker against missiles though its a decent choice, just be careful to not let it autotarget an enemy ship when there is fighters or missiles nearby. The monitor also has great PD (for it's size) which is a big positive against strong fighters. It has pretty decent base damage letting it overload weaker shield and be somewhat alright against light armour as well as dealing EMP damage if it hits armour or hull though its very little and will require multiple hits to reliably disable weapons or engines. Fighters are generally the smallest ships and Capitals are the largest ships, while Stations are big orbital defense structures. Cookie Notice Ever let a couple of Omens run amok before a huge fleet? Hound; A small fast freighter with passable combat ability. A good mobility system to get out of trouble, good shields and armor, an exploitable weakness that the pilot can cover for, and plenty of guns in various configurations to deal with whatever threat may face it; this ship has it all. Reply #227 on: May 05, 2018, 04:17:04 PM . Starsector 0.95.1a is out! Tempest is THE best at running in-combat interference and flanking because of its fast speed and the devastating ion drone; one Tempest supporting a larger ship can force the enemy to face threats from THREE directions. Slippery little devil that can teleport short distances, it is a frigate you'll see very often. Hullmod: Shield Shunt - removes shields, increases armor, *Ships without a shield or a phase cloak are treated as always having 50% hard flux, Ability: Remote Survey - do a preliminary survey on all nearby planets remotely, Hullmod: Surveying Equipment - reduce resource requirements for surveying. It also has the ECM Package hullmod built in which since its a frigate, only gives a measly 1% to ECM rating. -Glory Road, Heinlein. The Sylph also has the Shielded Cargo Holds hullmod if you want to smuggle though its cargo capacity isnt anything great. ._2Gt13AX94UlLxkluAMsZqP{background-position:50%;background-repeat:no-repeat;background-size:contain;position:relative;display:inline-block} Omen; A impressive ship in both combat and strategic level though expensive. Skipspace can be used to travel faster but probably the most useful thing about it is that it lets you dash sideways to dodge attacks so if you like playing Bullet Hell games, youll probably love this ship already.

Omen is one of those frigates you can use from the beginning of the game, to the very end. At least it's very cheap to maintain. Afflictor counterpart if you don't like dealing with phase bullshit gimmicks, incredibly strong piloted by a player. The Kobra has no shields, instead it has Defense Field during which damage taken is greatly reduced though weapons are disabled, similar to the Centurions Damper Field.

Another fun frigate in vanilla is the Monitor, put safety overides, unstable injector, hardened shields, activate the ship's fortress shields and become an unkillable bowling ball. Saw there's a demand for decent up to date tier lists so I thought might as well make one. Kite; A tiny cheap fragile frigate, with missiles. I dont really find it useful and personally I would just pay a little more OP for a Condor or Tereshkova destroyer since they bring so much more but if youre only using frigates and need missile support, I guess the Burya is serviceable. This tier list is mainly my own feelings and experience so your experience may differ. Taking the first capstone skill requires four skills in previous tiers, for a total of 5 points spent in the aptitude. Skills that improve the combat performance of your flagship. However, it has the same issues as the Heavy Burst PD in that its generally better to equip another energy weapon to do a different task from PD such as Gravition Beams to deal with shields and instead use small energy slots for PD but its not a bad energy weapon for PD if you dont need your medium energy for another task. 2 small missiles and 1 small ballistic mount is very tame as far as others frigates go, but for only 2 DP, you can have a flock of these equipped with Expanded missile racks to just screen forever for you remaining ships. Shade; A good phase ship with a EMP system. 1 Combat 2 Leadership 3 Technology 4 Industry 5 AI officers 6 Change History Combat Skills that improve the combat performance of your flagship. I would love to see a guide on the blade breaker sub-faction and UAF! The reason it isn't in a higher tier is because large fights demand much more of a basic frigate, and unfortunately it doesn't have neither speed nor defenses to survive those. In early game you could do some fancy work with Ion Pulsers, it's just that I haven't found it worthwhile being captained by AI. However, its still a beam weapon which means it will still need help from a more reliable kinetic damage source and it has negative efficiency and a somewhat slow firerate, making its DPS not great. Does not apply to fighters, affects all weapons including missiles. Nebula; Destroyer crew transport. There's probably a bunch of other folks including new people who figured out which freighter/tanker/transport is most efficient. . Here, I categorize the ships of Starsector in terms of their general usefulness. It also has decent cargo capacity for a frigate. Armor spreadsheet, play with the highlighted values! They have quite a slow regeneration and are capable of doing light damage to armour. *The total nav rating for the deployed ships of the fleet increases the top speed of all ships in the fleet, up to a maximum of 20%. Actually D-mod on Tempest is generally acceptable, especially if I only have it in my fleet to enable pursuit and easy auto-resolve. Despite the flaws, it is still a capable ship that can take advantage of openings really well, just don't expect them to survive most fights. 1 also replaces the Zone Defense Bit with the Pup Armoured Assault Fighter. Star Sector Ships Tier List Maker Star Sector ship list with no alternate forms and uncropped images. Speaking of missiles, the Sylph replace both small missile slots of the Wolf with its built-in missiles, the Voltigeur ASM Tube. For distraction purposes, a Wolf with a beam loadout isn't too shabby, but you're still much better with other alternatives in late game. ._1EPynDYoibfs7nDggdH7Gq{margin-bottom:8px;position:relative}._1EPynDYoibfs7nDggdH7Gq._3-0c12FCnHoLz34dQVveax{max-height:63px;overflow:hidden}._1zPvgKHteTOub9dKkvrOl4{font-family:Noto Sans,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:21px;font-weight:400;word-wrap:break-word}._1dp4_svQVkkuV143AIEKsf{-ms-flex-align:baseline;align-items:baseline;background-color:var(--newCommunityTheme-body);bottom:-2px;display:-ms-flexbox;display:flex;-ms-flex-flow:row nowrap;flex-flow:row nowrap;padding-left:2px;position:absolute;right:-8px}._5VBcBVybCfosCzMJlXzC3{font-family:Noto Sans,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-weight:400;line-height:21px;color:var(--newCommunityTheme-bodyText)}._3YNtuKT-Is6XUBvdluRTyI{position:relative;background-color:0;color:var(--newCommunityTheme-metaText);fill:var(--newCommunityTheme-metaText);border:0;padding:0 8px}._3YNtuKT-Is6XUBvdluRTyI:before{content:"";position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%;border-radius:9999px;background:var(--newCommunityTheme-metaText);opacity:0}._3YNtuKT-Is6XUBvdluRTyI:hover:before{opacity:.08}._3YNtuKT-Is6XUBvdluRTyI:focus{outline:none}._3YNtuKT-Is6XUBvdluRTyI:focus:before{opacity:.16}._3YNtuKT-Is6XUBvdluRTyI._2Z_0gYdq8Wr3FulRLZXC3e:before,._3YNtuKT-Is6XUBvdluRTyI:active:before{opacity:.24}._3YNtuKT-Is6XUBvdluRTyI:disabled,._3YNtuKT-Is6XUBvdluRTyI[data-disabled],._3YNtuKT-Is6XUBvdluRTyI[disabled]{cursor:not-allowed;filter:grayscale(1);background:none;color:var(--newCommunityTheme-metaTextAlpha50);fill:var(--newCommunityTheme-metaTextAlpha50)}._2ZTVnRPqdyKo1dA7Q7i4EL{transition:all .1s linear 0s}.k51Bu_pyEfHQF6AAhaKfS{transition:none}._2qi_L6gKnhyJ0ZxPmwbDFK{transition:all .1s linear 0s;display:block;background-color:var(--newCommunityTheme-field);border-radius:4px;padding:8px;margin-bottom:12px;margin-top:8px;border:1px solid var(--newCommunityTheme-canvas);cursor:pointer}._2qi_L6gKnhyJ0ZxPmwbDFK:focus{outline:none}._2qi_L6gKnhyJ0ZxPmwbDFK:hover{border:1px solid var(--newCommunityTheme-button)}._2qi_L6gKnhyJ0ZxPmwbDFK._3GG6tRGPPJiejLqt2AZfh4{transition:none;border:1px solid var(--newCommunityTheme-button)}.IzSmZckfdQu5YP9qCsdWO{cursor:pointer;transition:all .1s linear 0s}.IzSmZckfdQu5YP9qCsdWO ._1EPynDYoibfs7nDggdH7Gq{border:1px solid transparent;border-radius:4px;transition:all .1s linear 0s}.IzSmZckfdQu5YP9qCsdWO:hover ._1EPynDYoibfs7nDggdH7Gq{border:1px solid var(--newCommunityTheme-button);padding:4px}._1YvJWALkJ8iKZxUU53TeNO{font-size:12px;font-weight:700;line-height:16px;color:var(--newCommunityTheme-button)}._3adDzm8E3q64yWtEcs5XU7{display:-ms-flexbox;display:flex}._3adDzm8E3q64yWtEcs5XU7 ._3jyKpErOrdUDMh0RFq5V6f{-ms-flex:100%;flex:100%}._3adDzm8E3q64yWtEcs5XU7 .dqhlvajEe-qyxij0jNsi0{color:var(--newCommunityTheme-button)}._3adDzm8E3q64yWtEcs5XU7 ._12nHw-MGuz_r1dQx5YPM2v,._3adDzm8E3q64yWtEcs5XU7 .dqhlvajEe-qyxij0jNsi0{font-size:12px;font-weight:700;line-height:16px;cursor:pointer;-ms-flex-item-align:end;align-self:flex-end;-webkit-user-select:none;-ms-user-select:none;user-select:none}._3adDzm8E3q64yWtEcs5XU7 ._12nHw-MGuz_r1dQx5YPM2v{color:var(--newCommunityTheme-button);margin-right:8px;color:var(--newCommunityTheme-errorText)}._3zTJ9t4vNwm1NrIaZ35NS6{font-family:Noto Sans,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:21px;font-weight:400;word-wrap:break-word;width:100%;padding:0;border:none;background-color:transparent;resize:none;outline:none;cursor:pointer;color:var(--newRedditTheme-bodyText)}._2JIiUcAdp9rIhjEbIjcuQ-{resize:none;cursor:auto}._2I2LpaEhGCzQ9inJMwliNO,._42Nh7O6pFcqnA6OZd3bOK{display:inline-block;margin-left:4px;vertical-align:middle}._42Nh7O6pFcqnA6OZd3bOK{fill:var(--newCommunityTheme-button);color:var(--newCommunityTheme-button);height:16px;width:16px;margin-bottom:2px} ), Hullmod: ECCM Package - improves missiles speed and guidance, reduces effect of enemy Electronic Warfare (12/10/21); In-development patch notes for Starsector 0.96a (12/04/23). A remnant of the autonomous AI fleets developed by the TriTachyon Corporation. I was wondering if Tech was just my go to but it seems most people feel that way. At 1 DP more cost, its generally a stronger Brawler due to its durability and speed though the Centurion is still a better frigate if you only want a frigate to eat shit and survive. In combat, it replaces the Skipjet Injector ability with Heavy Burn which functions very similarly in that it charges the ship forward, can be cancelled but now can also turn during it. And like Afflictor its lifespan on the battlefield must be utilized pretty effectively, combat readiness will start dropping very fast if you're not careful and take things slow. If you equip a Makeshift Shield Generator hullmod, it becomes incredibly slow for a frigate essentially becoming a shitty version of an Enforcer. Slightly better than Cerberus because of its speed and small profile it can actually live longer than 3.6 nanoseconds. Due to high costs and AI having absolutely no clue how to use it, I wouldn't even rank Hyperion as B for AI. . All AI skills are elite and can be changed in the officer screen at any time for no cost. Its only downside is its 6 deployment cost makes it a significant addition to whatevery ship you want to defend. PD Laser that costs 1 more OP, it also fires in a burst instead of a continuous beam of the PD Laser. Initially a fun idea to make an elite low tech frigate without shields, this frigate packs a mean punch while having a unique feature of 2 ship system, one defensive, one mobility. Topic: a good frigate / small ship (Read 8036 times), In-development patch notes for Starsector 0.96a, Quote from: Eji1700 on January 18, 2020, 12:58:21 AM, Quote from: Serenitis on January 18, 2020, 03:01:24 AM, Quote from: Cyber Von Cyberus on January 19, 2020, 04:56:11 PM, https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ZlC2ZkiuB0fs5VSDXsmxJy30uRqqZ6oWCQ0ifsvUS9c/edit?usp=sharing. Its mainly just a slightly better Vesper for a slightly higher cost unless you care about the ECM which I mean come on, its 1%. Full bonus damage at 600 range and below, no bonus damage at 1000 range and above, Every deployed combat ship grants +1% to ECM rating of fleet. Just be sure to retreat it on time since its PPT ticks down fast. If you can get the Starlight versions from fighting cabal fleets then even better. If either person of the tier list feel that this list should be removed or changes made, please inform me to do so. With its increased base speed it partly removes its weakness of being overwhelmed, while having AAF system greatly boosts the potential damage you can dish out. Monitor is a ship that breaks the game, hard. Stay away from this toy gun. Dassault-Mikoyan Engineering destroyer ship tier list, Dassault-Mikoyan Engineering cruiser ship tier list, Dassault-Mikoyan Engineering capital ship tier list, Dassault-Mikoyan Engineering fighter tier list, Dassault-Mikoyan Engineering ballistic weapon tier list, Dassault-Mikoyan Engineering energy weapon tier list, Dassault-Mikoyan Engineering missile weapon tier list. Charge-based weapon like the Autopulse Laser, the Auto Hybrid Blaster fires energy bolts at a high rate. *The base maximum number of officers you're able to command is 8. Frigates may be a small and sometimes fragile weapons platform, but when utilized correctly they can be very dangerous. Scan this QR code to download the app now. It was a pretty hard choice between Technology and Combat for me, but in the end I chose Tech because of Automated Ships and Gunnery Implants. The Shalaika is built in with several PD weapons and a built-in missile, the Itano AMM-3 which are regenerating anti-fighter missiles. I won't say no but don't hold your breath. Still situational, but unrivalled in some situations. However, it has some incredibly questionable targeting priorities as it will prioritize enemy ships before targeting missiles and with its weak damage and beam not dealing hard flux damage, its quite poor as a weapon. This list will follow largely follow the format of the tier lists by Grevious69 where I will include 2 ranks (first rank being in AI control, second rank in the players control) if there is a significant performance difference in rank between an AI used VS a player used. Shade and Afflictor give Tempest a run for its money, but again Tempest wins because of the fact that the drone effectively doubles its flanking effectiveness. Easier for you to see it yourself then have it described here. Mule; The standard combat freighter. Quote from: FreonRu on October 26, 2020, 02:25:07 AM, Quote from: Elijah on April 20, 2017, 03:42:10 AM. Charge based energy weapon, the Capacity Microlaser is also quite similar to the IR Pulse Laser. Technology. The Shalaika is very weak in direct combat and is mainly Nav Relay fodder as well as light PD at the cost of 4 DP so its probably more efficient to deploy dedicated warships most of the time unless you need the speed boost. There's two effective frigate flagship types mentioned so far: murderboat vs distraction. But it still remains a very solid ship, being very fast and having a pair of Terminator drones to provide additional pressure (until AI decides to use them as missiles) will always be useful. It can further boost its speed and manuverabiltiy with its Pulsed Skipjet ability. Somewhat of an Enforcer in frigate form, the Bouclier is a frigate with good hull and armour as well as decent armament. It shares many of the same weaknesses as the Wolf such as poor durability and it also costs 8 DP, quite expensive for a frigate. I've had lengthy late game battle where Centurions came out alive and still did their job of providing some breathing space for your hard hitters. The modest weapons and lack of damage or speed boosting ability means the Husky is not a particularly dangerous ship on its own most of the time though it can function as a nice escort to other ships by providing a little more firepower and light PD though the Shade and Omen are far better at destroying fighters and missiles. These ships can also be broken down into three major tech levels: Low Tech, Midline, and High Tech . I didn't consider the Conquest's jets cooldown to be a major factor, but given your direct experience, I'll go with your interpretation. 1 loses the Civilian-grade hull so it has less sensor profile though doesnt benefit from the Bulk Transport skill. Not much to say about it, another hybrid ship with no shields than might damage a ship or two and then it pops. Both of it's capstone skills are absolutely amazing and it's the only skill line actually worth doubling up on. ._2a172ppKObqWfRHr8eWBKV{-ms-flex-negative:0;flex-shrink:0;margin-right:8px}._39-woRduNuowN7G4JTW4I8{margin-top:12px}._136QdRzXkGKNtSQ-h1fUru{display:-ms-flexbox;display:flex;margin:8px 0;width:100%}.r51dfG6q3N-4exmkjHQg_{font-size:10px;font-weight:700;letter-spacing:.5px;line-height:12px;text-transform:uppercase;-ms-flex-pack:justify;justify-content:space-between;-ms-flex-align:center;align-items:center}.r51dfG6q3N-4exmkjHQg_,._2BnLYNBALzjH6p_ollJ-RF{display:-ms-flexbox;display:flex}._2BnLYNBALzjH6p_ollJ-RF{margin-left:auto}._1-25VxiIsZFVU88qFh-T8p{padding:0}._2nxyf8XcTi2UZsUInEAcPs._2nxyf8XcTi2UZsUInEAcPs{color:var(--newCommunityTheme-widgetColors-sidebarWidgetTextColor)} Industry 5 AI officers 6 Change History combat skills that improve the combat performance of your..
