Starship combat with #Manticore is also much more difficult than #ExtremeMode

Imagine, if you will, the total insanity of taking on a large incoming #Watchtower fleet with Manticore. I just splashed 26 ships in a mindbending 3D dogfight, with the hostiles using that extra dimension almost as well as I do, while being a lot tougher. I had to stay ahead of their fire and shake off missile lock immediately, looping in and through and around them to keep out of the crossfire, because (as I learned very early in trying Manticore) once shields are broken the ship is trashed after 1–3 hits.

It’s asymmetric warfare all the way, without any clear advantage to exploit but your own wits during daredevil maneuvers. You can’t adopt a brute force approach, because you can only have a max of 9 fleet ships so Watchtower will always have you outnumbered; since the Vanilla game only allows you to own 10 ships at a time, that’s where the mod caps it too (even with mods like #Darkstar installed that increase your owned fleet capacity IIRC).

#Manticore is a surprisingly good tactical combat overhaul #StarfieldCreation

I’m not going to sit here and say I love everything about it, but overall it does exactly what it says on the tin and provides “brutal, fast-paced combat encounters” far beyond Vanilla+ #ExtremeMode
