I feel that they are insignificant to the equation. I can't really put my finger on why. Nothing wrong with using Arc Emitters - just that Tachyon Lances in 422 BB mono-fleet are generally better. So, let's say you are shooting at a ship that has 50% armor reduction, 100 shields, and 100 hull points. Also, since they all have a cool down of approximately 8 ticks, average. For instance, the Tachyon Lance + 4 Neutron Launcher Battleship design is terrible against Shields, but it has the lowest research cost of any max-tech Battleship design so you can field it much earlier and just brute force your way through shielding (also this design is terrifying during a space storm that disables shields). My Stellaris Suggestions: Add. The giga has 50% armor pen, and an extra 33% shield damage. Please note that I am rounding numbers, and ignoring carry over damage here. So unlike say Tachyon Lances that are equally fun to use in small and large fleets, Arc Emitters are definitely much more fun in large than small, as the variation in damage output is smoothed out that way. Against Cruisers and below, the evasion means Lances are worse, and Arc Emitters become the premiere XL weapon. Pick two of Giga Cannon, Tachyon Lance, Focused Arc Emitter, repeats allowed: Thus, our 6 possible combinations are: Giga Cannon, Giga Cannon. Cruisers with after burners can zip around a lot faster and are cost effective. You could go with the generic Corvette swarm (torps and disrupters), or you could go with Arc Emitters, Cloud Lightning, and Disrupters on your BBs. I feel that they are insignificant to the equation. I feel that they are insignificant to the equation. Torpedoes are ok if your enemy doesn't use PD, Energy Torpedoes are great anti-shield, but suffer the same targeting problem that sees many others suffer. If the target has LESS health than armor+shield, then ARC emitters are better, than Tachyon lance+null beam. Gigacannon needs to do 12600 to kill. Please note that I am rounding numbers, and ignoring carry over damage here. I've heard a lot of people say they prefer the lance series of super weapons over the giga cannon and arc emitter.

Also, since they all have a cool down of approximately 8 ticks, average. 19 Following. There seems to be a slight issue in regards to the balancing of the Contingency crisis all in all. Auto-best is not good, it frequently makes completely nonsensical design decisions. 99 vs Carrier, 20. But Arc can ignore shield and armor, which occupy nearly 2/3 hit. This gives up the immediate power on the first volley since the Kinetic Artillery have less range (so the Tachyon Lance's first volley will hit into shields) but it will have overall higher damage output over the course of the fight. CryptoI've heard a lot of people say they prefer the lance series of super weapons over the giga cannon and arc emitter. In a space storm, Tachyon Lance just murders things. Arc Emitter + Cloud = Poor range and performance on the Cloud Lightning, they actually deal half the damage per weapon slot compared to Disruptors Arc Emitter + Disruptor = Terrible range of 40, and the shortest range computer on battleships (Line) only advances to medium range (50) which is a notable damage loss on targets which don't. I've heard a lot of people say they prefer the lance series of super weapons over the giga cannon and arc emitter. . I feel that they are insignificant to the equation. It has one of the highest DPS per slot ratings in the game, at nearly double that of the Arc Emitter. Giga Cannon is good for synergizing with Neutron Launchers and Tachyon Lance is good for delivering consistent killing blows. 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. A more specialized Battleship that will do even better against starbases are Tachyon Lance + Kinetic Artillery. thee test between 2 giga opposed (one for plasma, one for MD) is okay. 2.

I've heard a lot of people say they prefer the lance series of super weapons over the giga cannon and arc emitter. The arc emitters and cloud lightning can be replaced with pure anti-armor/hull weapons - tachyon lances and neutron launchers are ideal, and will always be hitting for bonus damage. Please note that I am rounding numbers, and ignoring carry over damage here. I can't really put my finger on why. 18 * 2 = 30. Giga Canon is inferior to the other options in all tests I've run, the targeting behaviour is just problematic. If you go with the Tachyon Lance, back it up with a 50/50 mix of Neutron Launchers and Kinetic Artillery. Focused Arc Emitter, Tachyon Lance, and Giga Cannon are all amazing in the X slot, and Neutron Launchers and Kinetic Artillery are great in L-slots. Crypto The only case I think Titans become really good is if you're using the Tachyon Lance/Kinetic Artillery Battleship paired with Neutron Launcher Cruisers. I’ve been running some tests against 10x unbidden using a mix of 30-40 destroyers with disrupters and flak, 20ish cruisers with torpedoes, missiles and disrupters, and like 5 carrier battleships with arc emitters. For PVP the Tachyon lance is king so I don't use anything else. . They ignore shields completly.

Battleship: Tachyon Lance, 4 Neutron Launchers - Artillery Tactics 80 range Titan: Perdition beam, 6 Neutron Launchers - Artillery Tactics 80 range I got rid of all the missiles and tried straight plasma III's, but again hit rate was not so good, so I went back to stormfire + lasers, while keeping battleship and Titan the same. NK_2024 Collective Consciousness • 3 yr. X- slot tachyon lance, 1 neutron launcher, and 3 kinetic batteries is your basic beat all artillery battleship. giga cannons are double damage double size gauss cannons with extra range and arc emitters are only good for killing corvettes. GameStop Moderna Pfizer Johnson & Johnson AstraZeneca Walgreens Best Buy Novavax SpaceX Tesla. Generally, you want your spinal mount to be a kinetic weapon or an arc emitter since you take out shields before you take out armor. This is just not comparable.

Precursor Clone, is based "loosely" on a load-out used by some of the Fallen Empires. I've heard a lot of people say they prefer the lance series of super weapons over the giga cannon and arc emitter. 3. Penetration fleets work out decently normally and very well under certain circumstances because hull damage triggers withdrawals which oversell their damage somewhat. X weapons are best used against other battleships and are terrible against Corvettes and destroyers because of their low tracking. Please note that I am rounding numbers, and ignoring carry over damage here. But arc emitter carriers slot nicely with missile cruisers. I feel that they are insignificant to the equation. I recommend running brawler torpedo cruisers (torpedos/disruptors or torpedos/autocannons) and a 50/50 mix of carrier battleships (Focused Arc Emitter, Marauder Missles, PD, Strikecraft and Whirlwind Missiles) and artillery battleships (Tachyon Lance, Kinetic Artillery). 1 Laser 2.

Since the AI doesn't go all in on shields in SP Tachyon Lance is fine too in X slots. The AI doesn't use enough Torpedoes, and will lose most of their Torpedo ships on approach to Arc Emitters and Missiles, and the remainder are picked off by the PD of the Carriers. I've heard a lot of people say they prefer the lance series of super weapons over the giga cannon and arc emitter. Well, Medium Gauss and Laser can be pushed far enough by 40% modifier (Gauss is 75 range, Laser is 60, Artillery AI stays at 80), but I'd still suggest Carrier over Hangar because 2 Medium guns can't match 1 Hangar bay in DPS while locking you to Artillery rather than Carrier AI.
