My Star Sonata Teammate is Epic

Hey there, sorry its been so long since my last post, but I'm still here!

I was playing Star Sonata yesterday, and while I was emptying a galaxy for the second time, trying to find some Seraphs, my teammate randomly chose to give me 5 drones of 2 types, out of nowhere. These aren't cheap drones either. I'm talking 2 death-warmed-over (DWO) drones (75 million credits each) and 3 Mzungu mining defenders (MMD) (100 million credits each!!!), for a total of 450 million credits. At the moment, I'm doing quite well. But, to me, 100 million credits is a lot of money. So, 450 million credits worth of drones is a big deal. DWO drones are really powerful. The 2 of them can do more damage than 3 Acme combat drones.

To find more information about DWO drones or MMD drones, check out the drones page on the Star Sonata wiki for all stats. I used CTRL-F and typed "DWO drone," or "defender drone" to find them.

The MMDs run out of power for their weapons pretty fast, and they die really fast too. But, they do good damage, and most things are not resistant to their weapon. My class is Engineer, so at this point I can lay 5 drones, where most people can lay 3. My drones are also stronger than other people's drones. The only thing that I need to work on is my ship. I have piloting tech 17 (skill level), which means I can use ships up to tech level 17. Tech level 16 drones cannot be use in a ship that's tech level 15 or lower. So, the only ship I can use for my Acmes and DWOs is a Leviathan.

The Leviathan, or "Levi" for short is NOT a combat ship. It is a MERCHANT ship. But when backed up by 5 high-powered drones, its shortcomings are less of an issue; although they never quite dissapear. Two advantages of using the Leviathan, are their massive hull space and it's size. The hull space, after loading WITH all my drones and gear, I still have about 4,000 hull space left, which is a massive amout for a combat ship. It's size is 150, which you can equip one solar panel for approxiamately every 10 size. So the leviathan can have 15 solar panels. I still have gear to buy, like 3 more DWO drones and a better shield. But I feel, it's a pretty good ship. My only quarrel is the speed, even with a speed-boosting bouquet augmenter (For those of you who play the game, this is not from Rosemaries, it's from Basils).

I'll keep posting stuff about my Star Sonata gaming from time to time.

Have a nice day!
