stock ships vs leviathan
I've been trying my luck against the leviathan lately, and so far, I've managed to beat it with 4 oenones and 4 enyos. I've tried it with other ships, like the two Moira ships, but so far, I haven't had any luck with them. The battleships seem to be completely useless against the Leviathan. I thought I'd try to kill all the PD with an Enyo, then overwhelm the ship with 2 Arcas carriers, but the point defense lasers in the core take out the drones too quickly.
Anyway, for people who have beaten the levi with the stock ships, what ships have you used and how fast have you killed the levi? My fastest time is 2:50 remaining with 4 Enyos.
And is it just me, or do the asteroids seem to target the player excessively? They always seem to spawn behind me...

Maybe. I've managed to defeat Leviathan with
4 Enyos
2 Enyos and 2 Moiras
4 Moiras
4 Moira Xs (very close call. 10 seconds left)
4 Hestias
The big problem in Leviathan mission is that it has 2 aegisdeflectors between invulnerable sections in each 4 sides which take too much accuracy to destroy.

Hmm, DarkenShroud actually got over 137000 points...
I actually wonder how he did it.

Anybody come up with a mathematical maximum of points you can get on Leviathan?

I just used one of my custom ships with alot of blaster fire, got extreme points for prolonged fire on the levi just now. Seems you get more points the more damage you do to it. A higher score then just beating her down quick. Not sure how I got such a high score, might be from hitting it so much, and at the sametime killin her fairly quickly too. That or its giving me to many points when I do lay down the law. I still think its possible to get a score like mine by making it take more damage, instead of killin it quickly. Seems the more damage you do, in a short amount of time, affects your score. At least when testing in sandbox mode.
If it ain't broke, then don't try to fix it

You have only yourself to blame for failure

My experience also confirms that inflicting maximum damage as much as possible means you lose potential earnable points for blasting off parent sections and destroying child sections in the process, as the game does not count the child sections lost toward damage inflicted.
Case 1 -> using heavily modded plasma charge to destroy some of the sections and core at 2 min and 30 seconds. Around 70k points
Case 2 -> modded pinpoint accurate weapon that ONLY kills the Leviathan Core without touching any other section at exactly 2 min and 30 seconds results in less points.
If anyone else can confirm this...

That's with stockers or customjobs. The key is targeting the Aegis generator directly with precision weapons that won't cause an 'Aegis Flare' to cover and protect the target. Mining beams are perfect.thanto_ wrote:Yeah, the inner aegis pairs are really hard to kill. I tried with the lancets on the oenones, but they tend to hit the aegised sections instead. As for using the teller torpedoes... every time I've used them, they just get taken out by the PD beams.
