Oops I messed up. Of course armor is subtracted from damage, not the other way around. Correction made.

So uh ... how do you shoot down silver towers? I have classic problem, that they run away from my tanks and interceptors that can keep up with them do not have enough armor and hull to survive.

Do I need a wing of Sabres?

Do you have max reaction Lokk'Naar pilots? Those increase survivability a lot. A sabre can be a tank too if you equip thrusters in the missile slots to maximise evasion.

If you're able to choose your engagements (not going against HKs), then you can set up one craft to be a super tank with no damage, and 1-2 other craft to deal all the damage. Just make sure the tank craft attacks first. Also get max reactions on the tank, and max bravery on the DPS.

Actually, you want the same bravery or less on your damage dealers. If they have more bravery than your tank, they will close in faster. Easier to coordinate if all craft have same bravery.

I’m running +100% engagement speed on my tanks and +50% engagement speed on my interceptors for exactly this reason. But the issue is that my tanks are not fast enough to catch silver towers.

I guess I just don’t have strong enough tech yet. Maybe codex vessel with high tier shadowtech drive will catch it and be tanky enough. Or maybe avalanches are the answer. What problem can’t be solved by more nukes?

Silver towers sadly nuff, missiles have trouble cutting through the rapid regen before running dry.

@meridian thanks a lot!
i never bothered with gambling so far, because the prizes (bananas, shotgun ammo and first-aid kits) were quite underwhelming
