How to decide between destroyers.

I have recently collected about 95% of the resources of rank 8 destoryers and antares or sibyl, how should I decide which to build and which slots are to be equiped. (Not considering procyon because of its poor appearance. ) Now my decision is Archon, is there better choises, or how to choose the modifier slots?

Which is the best sector to collect beryillum and neodium?

The best destroyer is a dead one.

Otherwise collect A. Gage’s missions for beryllium. In open space very rare.

Imho at R8, Archon is much more comfortable to play, easily solvable energy problems, perfect module layout, Galvanized Armor not as crucial to the archon as it to Invincible.

how to arrange the number of modifier slots?

For PvP i find 

3x Shields

2x Hull

1x CPU

Mezon Cannons work very well.

Coil gun and Halo guns are pretty bad in t3, really lacking modifiers that are available in r11/r14

A low spread Meson OF DOOM is always a good idea! I personally would go for at least 2 CPU slots for further spread reduction. Gives you more punch at range.

Procyon or Archon are the way to go in R8.

Invincible is just a sitting duck, waiting to be killed without its shield.

Wat. I use coils myself and they’re better than mesons!

Then you don’t know how to use Mesons ![:)](<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/001j.png “:)”)

Full spread reduction and range ammo?

Inb4 curved and Infrared like WolfN00b

  • 1x Guidance, 2-3 implant, Crit Ammo +6-2, or (Not curved) Base Dmg ammo + 6-1/6-3

 - Archon with Base dmg bonus

And you get almost as accurate as Coils, faster traveling, much higher DPS weapon

Even with Kinetic Bonus on Archon coils are pretty bad, there are not enough passive slots on a Dessy to get all the crit and fire rate it needs, plus base projectile speed is pretty bad, neither ship bonus nor 6-3 implant boost it enough.

In r14 Coils are completely different story, where you can make them very devastating and long ranges.

Why is everyone on a hate mission with Invincible? I just got her over a week ago and she’s been really great!

You just got to know how to play her. You can’t tank as much as Archon.

I would say invincible tanks more than archon, unless archon gets enough time to heal. In terms of survb and dmg output, invincible is easier to fit.

Archon tanks more through static shields, 7-3 implant and base cost reductin gives him a huge edge over invincible in energy 

Procyon is fun if you like swirling around and hit and run tactic. Unfortunately it’s harder to dodge mesons so you cannot just face tank Invincible or Archon and spend 20s in the open running away ;p At least, if the other destro is fitted well. If not, then you can escape from them ;p

Personally I went with archon then Antares and working toward vigilant. archon has always done me well and I can even face off r11 destroyers pretty well if they don’t photon me to death. Antares is great due to being so fast but if a tackler gets to you and knows how to use it then you are likely doomed. Each faction has its strong suit and if that’s removed by another class, once again tackler for example, and counter then its just like any other ship. You have to learn your role and use its advantages and stay near your team and go back to your ENGI for heals when you need. That said you can get any destroyer and if used right is going to work out fine.

Yeah probably. But for Invincible, it’s more of a 1 time thing since you will rarely ever get all your HP back from engies.
