X4 Foundations: 9.0 - Odysseus, the long range specialist, station demolition test

Hello everybody, Was talking with a viewer about how awsome are the new railgun turrets in 9.0, with me being particulary pleasantly surprised with L mass driver turrets range of 16 km, and I thought...you know what...for my next xenon cleaning expedition, I will take the third eyes for a road trip. And so, you get station demolition test, sniper edition, with Odysseus. Observations: 9.0 introduced heavy guided rockets, the new heavy torpedoes, in order to make the destroyers the heaviest dps delivery platform in the game. However, an alternative was added, the so called, railgun turrets. Basically you trade the dps from the destroyer's "torpedoes", for the 16 km range of L mass drivers. I personally like this type of race specific "buffs" very much, especially with my rule of terran tech for terran ships, paranid tech for paranid ships, and so on...race choice should matter, with advantages and disadvantages. from what you will see, the Odysseus performance really put in the question the meta of main batteries dictating the distance keeping behavior of destroyers. There was some usage of the main batteries, but I don't think all the Odysses use them, so it looked more like the turret range was dictating the distance keept. while impressive, the Odyes performance is not perfect...but...is that avoidance behavior I see at 04:46 ? Personally, I think is just good RNG, but...the behavior is possible, if not always reproducible... So, if you want the sniper experience with destroyers, give the third eyes a try, its not all about missiles. :D Like always, hope you enjoyed my struggles, take care and have a good one. :) About me: I like to share my X4 Foundations experiences, some because they are really amazing, some because they are really anoying.
