Is it the Focused Arc Emitter o. 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. Mixing Focused Arc Emitter with Strike Craft doesn't make much sense. The arc emitter is Severely underated in my opinion and will do rather well i highly recommend it and to have several tech lance battleships to deal/soften up some targets. I've been using arc emitter carriers in my current run against 5x GA Unbidden and Contingency (using mods for forced ~2300 triple crisis), and while they were. Still, in 3. Giga Cannon is good for synergizing with Neutron Launchers and Tachyon Lance is good for. That said, late game going with the arc emitter front and. The 25x contingency battleship has 220k hull, 770k ish armor and 550k ish shield. It offers the best alpha strike) as many shields as you can fit one shield capacitor one reaction boosterNot to say Stellaris must follow history/be realistic, but it would give carriers a distinct advantage over other weapon systems. This balances them out. Targetting priorities. Note that since the other weapons have no firing arc, the best setup right now are whirlwind missles and strike craft. Content is available under Attribution-ShareAlike 3. Their DPS + shield and armor penetration sound nice, but if you're unlucky, arc emitters could. 6. The Arc Emitter is a short-range large sized weapon capable of producing electrical discharges similiar to the Electrical Discharge Coil. Field Manipulation The Field Manipulation tech tree focuses on Energy production and shields. Probably artillery is better. I personally feel that Neutron Launchers make a better pairing with the Focused Arc Emitter precisely for this reason, since they punish hull-heavy ships that counter the Focused Arc Emitter. For specific weapons, you can really pick your choice. An absolutely devastating weapon whose only real counter is high-evasion ships and the crystal hull components. Stellaris. The cost per point of HP is just so garbage for armor, and armor does not regenerate. Arc Emitters are only good against the Contingency. ago.

The lance does more raw damage but iirc the scourge have roughly equal hull and armor, meaning they basically take the same number of shots to kill any given scourge (lance does double damage but emitter ignores 50% hp). Tier 0 is used for starting technologies. Medium disruptor has range 60 and average damage 6. 12000. Disruptors and arc lighting are best used against fleets which have low number of ships but are instead very powerful, meaning they have large amount of shields and armor. • 4 yr. Arc Emitters: tech_arc_emitter_1. Spinal Mount: Arc Emitter Carrier Core: Missile/Missile/PD/PD/H/H Artillery Stern: Kinetic Arty 50/50 Shields/Armor, Green components I've just added Afterburners for the speed, Artillery Computer Pure arty BB's trade nearly 1:1 with this but they don't have the versatility of Strikecraft so they get shredded by BB counters. Thoughts on 3. Issue 2: Some ships can take the hit. Arc Emitters are also quite OP. Their damage is. Finally, the Focused Arc Emitter is actually the strongest of the three in isolation, but its downside is that it has no good weapons to combo with; Cloud Lightning has terrible combat stats and Disruptors are even worse. The other main weapon loadout is Neutron Launches with a Giga Cannon. Of course it also costs you the entire hangar front section. They tried to borrow from EVE Online, I guess, but didn't quite finish. Best Auras are locating and Reduction of Disengagement chance. These are energy weapons too and they completly ignore shields. I've been doing more Stellaris math recently, trying to figure out optimal ship designs for 3. Hit multiple targets. Usually you'll get better results just from 4 Neutron Launchers even when you have no anti-shield weapons to support them. (battleship/cruiser with gigacannon and arc emitter) and fodder arm (corvettes with swarm combat computer) Keep all Star bases at chokepoints upgraded and armed to the teeth, build missile defense platforms or, even better, strike craft platforms because as I’ve said before THEYRE THE HOT THING right now. There are multiple reasons for the choice, alone they might be sufficient, together they become overwhelming. The AI likes to use point defense and smaller ships, but if there's a problem just throw more bullets (swarmer missiles and strike craft) at it. 解锁：在鼠标浮层中查看. This mod also adds two new technologies to the. if you go heavy in frigates, and bypass armour and shields, you are going to spamm matter disintegrators, fighters,voidlightning,and arc emitters. Directions. 6 update. What am I missing?Stellaris. I am ~400h in Stellaris and still really luck of understanding all weapon types use-cases. Jump to latest Follow Reply. The tachyon has 90% armor pen, and -33% shield damage. This means 86% of the ships DPS is ineffective until shields are down. But if you are hellbent on having your race get close without going crisis, then i suggest the following: 40% generic corvette 20% PD corvette 20% torpedo cruiser with normal missiles on S slots, and dual afterburner to get close quickly. ago. The main advantage is that by the End-Game phase (assuming default 2200) you should have a few levels of repeatable tech on Physics for Energy Weapons to make AE+D+CL combo more powerful. 6. Society I usually alternate between the +15 Admin Cap boost (just to remove Beauracrat jobs to something more useful) and +5 year Leader lifespan just to keep high. So that makes them quite strong for sure. 1. Thus we can expect a Revenant to die for every 5 Arc Emitters. Ultimately went Kinetic on Battleships and Plasma on cruisers. Energy weapons are very good against all crisis and FEs - arc emitters against everything but prethoryn, neutron/tachyon vs them. Gigacannon needs to do 12600 to kill. Even without repeatables that setup should be more than enough to handle any of the crises easily. 电弧发射器 (Arc Emitters) 解锁：在鼠标浮层中查看. Arc Emitter/Cloud Lightning battleships is the only strong argument I've found as certain builds can make those comically dangerous, at least in the 3.

In Battleship vs Battleship (so MP because AI designs blow), things may change since the meta there is. If you use Arc Emitters mixed in with anything that doesn't ignore shields, you are wasting that ability entirely - as bad as mixing Torps and non-shield penetration weapons. I tend to try and make them as split and even as possible across the board. Arc Emitter/CL are always better since by the time you get these you should have completely eclipsed the regular AI empires. . That almost never happens. A better and stronger Arcology Project hsa. 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. @Holycannoli I find Focused Arc Emitters actually are the best X slot weapon, but the issue is that Phased Disruptors are mediocre and Cloud Lightning is bad. 2. Stellaris heavily rewards specialization, through planetary designations, efficiency-boosting buildings, species modification, governors, and a slew of other game mechanics. Generally I fit my ships depending on the composition of enemy fleets.
