Arc Emitter + Strike Craft + PD battleships will keep dominating, which they already do against any crisis but Prethoryn and FE ships. Again, don't waste money on more than a single shield emitter for them, and load them down with arc emitters and kinetic artillery. Here's my copy-paste on the current ship balance and the most dominant designs: Focused Arc Emitter / Carrier / Marauder / Whirlwind Battleships are by far the best "all-rounder" ship. - My plan is to completely bypass their shields and armor with my Battleships and then deflecting their torpedoes and Strike Craft with PD and Flak picket. Arc Emitters are also quite OP. 7 all my ships from time to time began graphically shooting at star instead enemy ships, like on image. While I love the crisis in itself, there seems to be a bit of a thematic oversight (or potentially a balance choice) in which the Contingency. 1 arc emitter + 2 plasma cannons+1 phased distruptor +2 PD < > Showing 1-10 of 10 comments. Go with 3 BS variants anyway then you got all your vases covered. So go X slot arc emitters on battleship spam, slow/downgrade your engines down as much as possible (so you get more shots off before closing the gap), and if you can, pick a fight around a neutron star to go even slower.

KA are long range and each 1/3 of a Gigacannon in firepower. Sublight speed considered a debuff against 25x crisis because the player's advantage is the range of arc emitter. Technology in Stellaris is divided into 3 research areas with each area corresponding with one of the research resources: Engineering, Physics and Society. I personally go with neutron / gigacannon, but others use arc emitter / cloud lightning. The downside is this is considered late game, because you must research Gamma Lasers to unlock Disruptors, then research all disruptor tech to unlock Arc. Numbers roughly add up. XL mounts in general are not as good as 2 kinetic artilleries, if simply because of the former's limited firing arc. A place to share content, ask questions and/or talk about the 4X grand strategy game Stellaris by Paradox Development Studio. Even corvette swarms will faulter against them, as the battleships have such a range advantage that the arc emitters bring down such a large portion of the swarm. Especially about the targetting AI. Do that and then ONLY arc emitters will be viable as armor and shields are already repeatable, if hull becomes repeatable only weapons that go directly to the hull. These are designs widely known in the Chinese Stellaris Community, and I feel like sharing them, so I post this. Mixing Focused Arc Emitter with Strike Craft doesn't make much sense. I can see how the arc emitters aren't helping with defense breaking here. Stellaris. Arc emitters ignore shield and armour, but have a good chance to do pitiful damage, as their damage range is something like 1-350. They are the reason battleships are the best ship class in the game, that being said arc emitters are not good until you have a large number of repeatables (about 10 or more). woundedspider. Stellaris. I Iast played Stellaris a year ago, and I was shocked to see AI empires having fleet strengths in the millions. You need a few from every weapon or you are handicapping yourself.

Adding hull repeatables isn't really possible, because it would. This means a specialised build, either to ignore shield and armour entirely and use disruptors/arc emitters (with some point defence mixed in to counter enemy fighters. X weapons are best used against other battleships and are terrible against Corvettes and destroyers because of their low tracking. I just know in the last few games, 2 fleets of battleships will get rolled where as my 2 fleets of Disruptor corvettes are what saved my empire from. Tachyon Lance + Neutron Launcher stays competitive with Focus Arc Emitter + Cloud Lightning up to around 90 levels deep. 3. If thats Contingency, just use disruptors instead. I used battleships with focused arc emitter on spinal mount and cloud lightning on all large slots. You'd need 20 Corvettes with x3. Auto-best is not good, it frequently makes completely nonsensical design decisions. I can see how the arc emitters aren't helping with defense breaking here. Cloud Lightning; Giga Cannon vs Kinetic Artillery). 6, that means larger ships like battleships can only conceivably make use of hardening, as corvettes/frigates don't have enough aux slots to bother. Huh, for me tachyon combined with 3 kinetic artillery and a plasma is effective against any other build, as just kinetic really drops off agaisnt armour and crystal plating and gets stomped. Their fleets are mostly medium-sized, and their power is entirely dependent on simple. Null Void beams are great for a full energy build, mostly because they have amazing range on them for taking down shields. )Use a few carrier battleships with Focused Arc emitters and swarmer missiles, swarmer missile destroyers, and a sizable group of either corvettes/frigates and you'll be good to go.

Those that do will use cloud lightning and arc emitters with a strike craft bay. Tier 0 is used for starting technologies. Arc Emitters+Cloud Lightning are only "good" at high energy damage repeatables (80+). The alternative weapons are redundant and inferior in comparison as kinetic artillery and tachyon lances are both low in stats and bad against shields respectively. You have Focused Arc Emitter for a big damage weapon against large ships, Strike Craft clean up smaller ships easily, while Marauders and Whirlwind missiles provide a general-purpose long-ranged weapon to. 6 update.

Combining with arc emitters and/or torpedoes makes it more likely. I use cheap modules (arc emitters, tier 1 engines, crystal platings, if I had researched auxiliary fire control I would have added it, also before end game events I use regenerating hull tissue to reduce casualties), in x1 tech/tradition I would consider using shields instead, to survive 2-3 hits from large matter disintegrator.
