[SC] Surgeon vs Saturn

Ok guys, so I have a question. Who would win in a 1v1 fight surgeon or saturn?

 

surgeon but the player plays a big part in it as its down to skill aswell

 

Skill? Surgeon will win because it gain 6% more damage...

 

wow 6% more dmg and 1 more gen slot so that mean a saturn cant beat it hahahahah ok then

 

the better player wins

 

IF both ships are sitting still and equipped the same then yes the Surgeon has an advantage. But a skilled pilot in a Leonov can destroy a Surgeon also. So as stated in a 1v1 fight the skills of the pilot come into play. IF you just want a comparison of the 2 designs then yes the Surgeon is the better design to have, you get extra shield or speed (from extra gen slot, your decision) you get 6% boost to DMG, XP, and HONOR, then you double boost everything and maybe throw in the 50% boosters for XP and HONOR, and a couple of the KAPPA 5 hour multi boosters and have a pretty good ship, as long as you have the defensive skills to outwit others offensive maneuvers or have the better Pilot Bio set up. As I have pointed out there are a lot of variables to be considered and as such is why you were told about the "SKILLS" of the opponent as there is no ship that is completely foolproof to be the best to use. Then of course I did not even touch on the drone formations that can be used to create even more variables as to whether it is better or not.

In General it is the better "non-skilled" design for the Goliath, like the Pussat is the best for the Vengeance (I know I just opened a can of worms with the Lightning pilots) but it is MY OPINION and I am entitled to it. LOL!!!

So if the boosts are what you are looking for then fly the Surgeon, if using skills is your choice then fly one of them (just remember they have cooldown timers for them). Some people even like the smaller ships depending on what they are doing at the time.

Enjoy the game the way you want to play it and that is the best you can do.

 

Well the only thing still bugging me is, that 20% hp boost from saturn, and I am wondering if that is better than 6%dmg and 1 gen. slot...don't count honour and exp boost with it...

 

6% DMG eats 20% HP pretty quickly especially when it is given the entire battle where the HP is not regenerated once lost. So I still say the Surgeon is the better of the 2 designs.

 

Saturn competes very well with full herc and double boosted HP booster, and surpasses with techs items. Saturn shines in multi ship attacks where the extra HP saves your bacon time and again with ring formation. Its really more a choice between defensive style play and all out attack.

 

it would all come down to skill but in a game thats almost pure dps to win its hard trying to run a defensive build the 20% hp combined with hercs means you can have huge shield you also lose 10% dam for no havocs this way so they would be shooting 16% harder each shot in the end the dps build would have the #s advantage i would think. you also got to look at speed with surgeon that extra speed controls the match pull out let rsb recharge go in changing like hell enemy can do same but you control the timing thats huge and more than makes up for the extra hp hell i seen a video guy almost dead just kept going in for one rsb shot while the attacker just hit X4 the rsb and diamond got him the kill so skill is where its at use the tools you got

 

Ok i have to wonder why everyone only says the saturn only gives 20% hp cause from what i understood when i got my saturn it has 20%hp and 10-15% shield bonus can't remember which one? But i think their both pretty even ships. Even though my choice is surgeon.

 

The Saturn's only bonus is the 20% extra HP, think you might be confusing the Saturn bonus with a full set of Hercules since they offer shield and HP bonus when you have all 10 equipped.

 

well the only thing surgeon has over saturn is 6%dmg and 1 gen slot

 

may as well just use solace instead of saturn

 

Which ever one has the booster - LOL ... I fly the Saturn ... Use your Tech weapon - MWAH

 

incorrect but essentially so. Surgeon without Havoc is not feasible. Surgeon with hercs would not compete well against Saturn. It is implied that Surgeon will be using havocs on equips to max out damage and saturn will be double hercing to max out defense.

 

To be real about it the only reason I even like flying the (Surgeon) is for the honor and exp.
