Challenge #1 - ES Lyon

Description
The youtube channel Lifelorehosted an AI tournament featuring this ship. It's a pretty fun watch:

This is an AI challenge. Construct a ship that costs no more than 1.500.000$ and try to defeat this in an AI vs AI fight in creative mode. If you can beat it, you're a better cosmoteer than me & you get cookie. :)

Bonus points, if you can do it from close range.
Have fun. Let me know how you beat it.

(To do an AI vs AI battle go to creative mode, click on the 3 bars in the top lest, click the "Battle Helper", load up both designs, click go & watch the fireworks)

Challenger stats:
Speed: ~33m/s
Price: 1.500.000$
Features: 16x Ion Chamber, 6x Shield Chamber, 8 Nukes, 22 PD.

Update 11/11/22: The Ion range nerf apparently hit right after I got done building this. So the challenge is now to beat it up close. xD
Update 12/11/22: Made it a bit faster and added a shield to a key weakpoint thanks to tips from Excelsior member PyroMancer.

Whew ! I had this ship downloaded for a while, but I just got around to fighting it now. I didn't have any 1.5 mil ships, so I first tried it against one of my 1.3 mil ships. First time mine won, and the two next rounds had yours win. It's a shame that the ai sucks at using broadsiders, my ship didn't roll its armor at all!!!

With that out of the way I designed a quick deck cannon/large cannon ship w a few EMP missiles, and it beat the ES consistently off the get go. I will note, designing the ship took a bit longer than I'd thought it would because I didn't want to cheese it with a direct counter like nuke spam, flanking, or any form of kite that the AI sucks at fighting, but it was a good fight in the end regardless!

Unfortunately I have no clue how to post images on steam, so you'll either have to take my word for it or track me down on the Discord lmao.

How many flaks are needed to shoot down a single nuke? I've never seen them shoot one down that is already speeding towards you. Flaks seem kind of broken in general. They often don't shoot, even if they could.

Yeah, most of the things i make have a bit of flak down the sides for any looping missiles, they are the only thing that can reliably take out nukes (dozens of tests against the awful Voluntas in game launching 24 at a time).

Ion ships always tend to fire straight down the middle so a solid armour spine is one of my go-to starting points, can really nullify all those expensive credits for a while to let your weapons go to work.
Yaddah  [author] 13 Nov, 2022 @ 9:41pm 
Simple, brutal & effective. But you probably didn't need the 4 Flaks, right? Did they shoot down some nukes?

Nice design, don't usually do small ships so was a difficult one, settled on keeping it simple and just outgunning with armour providing more bang for buck on defence.

Haha same to you. This was tough, one round of those nukes instantly vaporizes one of my poor ships so I just had to hope they could get around behind it and start breaking stuff up. I let the AI do all the fighting in the interest of fairness. Aaand... my De Laine class frigate is pretty powerful, but has an ammo consumption problem so they weren't able to actually break the last parts of it, but it was dead and disabled anyway.

Nicely done tn44.
