X4 Foundations: Large scale argon fleet engagement

Описание: Hello everybody,

As some of you might know, I decided to use an argon fleet to liberate the xenon sector I show you in my previous clip.

Argon fleet composition, all argon tech:
1 Colossus flagship + 40 torpedo Eclipse, 2 gatling + 2 torpedo launchers, on defend commander
1 Colossus + 40 interceptor Eclipse, 2 gatling + 2 ion blasters, intercept for the carrier
10 Behemoth, bombard for the Colossus flagship
1 aux ship + 20 flak Minotaur on intercept+ 20 torpedo boat Cerberus on bombard
Note: if you have destroyers in your fleet composition, you need an aux ship for repairs. An aux ship is slow and mostly defenceless, so the M ships protect against S/M ships (Minotaur) and capital ship ambush (torpedo boat Cerberus)

Casualties list, by the end of the engagement, including the stations demolition (could not be encluded in the clip because, like usual, I ran out of space on my HDD):
10 Eclipse bombers
3 Eclipse interceptors
2 Behemoths (lost another one due to the fact that the first defence station was on an upper plain, and even with my demolition tactic, enagaging defence stations from below, is a big no no)
8 Minotaur Flak
20 Cerberus torpedo boat

I think this allow you to make a tier list for ship types combat effectiveness, base on survival rate, we have:

1. S interceptors = survival rate 92.5 %
2. S bombers = survival rate 75.2 % (against lots of capital ships, lost count, but I'm sure some avid watcher can give the exact number :P)
3. Capital ships = survival rate 80 % (with babysitting + fighter support)
4. Gunboats = survival rate 60 %
5. Torpedo Frigates = well, this one is easy....survival rate = 0

From what I've seen, the Paranid seem to be the superior fleet, if you want to do station demolition (the only circumstance, were you need destroyers, and subsequently, aux ship with M ships escorts) because with the use of Blast Mortars, no missile components are being consumed by the carriers and aux ships (except with the torpedo Gorgons, since BM don't have an M variant).

About me:
I like to share my X4 Foundations experiences, some because they are really amazing, some because they are really anoying.
