Something went wrong and we got 2 or 3 casualties and the Defiler escaped, just before we are about to win.
Once again, we very very close. Closer than ever before!
We are also aiming to get the Galaxy Guardian achievement!
Koro I suggest that next time, we should have the portal group destroy and delay Biomorphs/Hunters to buy the main group time to destroy the defiler. The reason why I and a a few others died was because of biomorphs and hunters locked on to us.
Obviously speaking, the main group, upon seeing the defiler initiate warp, should pour everything they have into taking it down.

Yeah, the same thing you do to win escort mission in Vanguard outpost (lure all ships away from the cargo ship)

I still don’t understand WHY are we not doing the obvious and verified method. You need 2 engies - Naga for Main group and Octo for portal. You need an Aura with speed and dmg buff for portal. You need Viking for portals. You need LRFs for MIs - there is a time window to RT in the range of MI, turn around and MI is in 5-6km range. 2 LRFs are crucial to take it down, command is helpful to do so. Main group is staying in ONE group just to the back and below of the defiler. One LRF should have portals in the range of desintegrator, so can help if bios are spawned and can take cruise/doomsdays to help. Works everytime. It just needs some practice.

I think we should have more LRFs with HB and less gunships; looking at latest stats ive finished dealing almost double dmg than other ships (except for the other LRF), this considers dmg dealt by emitter destruction. RT is very reliable for MI when you know how to do it (i use 2D minimap and in most ocations i end up facing the MI when it spawns), also charging the HB a few secs after jumping helps a lot to take out the MI (with 1 shared cooler you dont overheat before MI gets destroyed).

I dunno either, to be honest. Run this idea next time, so that there is less confusion when we start off.
In 1 hour, I managed to put this together. It should be 100% accurate!
Defiler:
based on timer, when Defiler’s shield will always go up (Portal message will be shown), then another 15 seconds for the Matter Inverter to spawn
based on hull percentage, when Defiler’s shield will NOT GO up and an immediate Matter Inverter will spawn
Matter Inverter appears 15 seconds later, after Alien Portal message is shown!
Matter Inverter always spawns 12000 meters from Defiler’s left, on his opposite side!
Matter Inverter weapon arming activation time is 15 seconds!
If we are within the same time and hull percentage periods, it’s possible that 2 Matter Inverters will spawn simultaneously instead!
TIMER/HULL % DEFILER
Example:
100% - full health on Defiler
90% - based on hull % (-15 second delay) = Matter Inverter
25:00 - based on timer (-15 second delay) = Matter Inverter
70% - based on hull % (immediate Matter Inverter - no Defiler’s shield - Defiler vulnerable)
23:00 - based on timer (-15 second delay) = Matter Inverter
21:00 - based on timer (-15 second delay) = Matter inverter
50% - based on timer (immediate Matter Inverter - no Defiler’s shield - Defiler vulnerable)
19:00 - based on timer (-15 second delay) = Matter Inverter
17:00 - based on timer (-15 second delay) = Matter Inverter
30% - based on hull % (immediate Matter Inverter - no Defiler’s shield - Defiler vulnerable)
15:00 - based on timer (-15 second delay) = Matter Inverter
13:00 - based on timer (-15 second delay) = Matter Inverter
15% - Defiler tries to escape through the rift! (FOCUS ON THE MAIN TARGET ONLY)
0% - Defiler dies!
Timer is only the example here. It all depends, when the Defiler gets at 90% hull integrity.
- 2 minute intervals, with 15 second delay for the Matter Inverter is evident from the information
- at 70% hull, another Matter Inverter will spawn instantly and Defiler’s shields will be down
- at 50% hull, another Matter Inverter will spawn instantly and Defiler’s shields will be down
- at 30% hull, another Matter Inverter will spawn instantly and Defiler’s shields will be down
Sword. Mk5 Singularity, Mk5 Valkyrie setup as usual. I’ll be on at 7pm.
On a side note, I intend on doing Special Ops 10-12 on Tuesday and successfully saving all outposts. If you are interested let me know what you can bring.
