Arc emitter is still your best weapon vs FEs, but I have to imagine that there's another design that has better performance against a wide variety of endgame threats. These cruisers went directly for the backline. What am I missing?Stellaris. With power booster on accessory slot. So I’m currently fighting the Contingency, so my fleets are all specked to Arc Emitters and Cloud Lightning with some corvette fleets with Phase Disrupters. 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). Against armour (scourge) Lances. Tachyons are good overall, especially against armour. Its almost like two options are interchangeable. Arc Emitters and Focused Arc Emitters, I believe, are the strongest bow weapon for battleships, alongside a full array of Kinetic Artillery. Derived from [Universal Arc Emitter] Mod, this is a L-slot arc weapon, kind 'a better and more expensive cloud lightning, or smaller arc emitter. The Arc Emitter is probably the single best X-slot weapon with its vicious alpha strike. 6+ Stellaris. Hull is 3300. Against shields ( unbidden ) mega cannons. If you go cloud lightning or arc emitter your entire fleet has to be 100% disruptor. You want +5% Damage buffs more than +5% rate of fire, to a point. Tachyon lance is close enough. Critical mass of arc emitters will annihilate any ship composition, but you do need to outnumber the enemy pretty heavily. The only difference was they were using Arc. It's a common question as to what the good ship designs are, and here's my copy/paste answer: Focused Arc Emitter / Carrier / Marauder / Whirlwind. Also, Arc Emitter / Cloud Lightning / Disruptors only really start to shine once your enemy is deep into repeatables. 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. Arc Emitters will suck, but on average a volley from those will still kill 4 Corvettes. These weapons will always have at least a 10% chance to hit, but between, say, an arc emitter and a torpedoe hit, the torpedoe is almost always going to do far, far more damage, while the. Simply have both fleets engage at the same time. If the enemy is faster, then they cannot. Arc Emitters and Focused Arc Emitters, I believe, are the strongest bow weapon for battleships, alongside a full array of Kinetic Artillery. You need to start a new game. Often you'll find that you're bringing their Hull to 0 HP at about the same time their Armor is going to. (And Arc Emitters just seem like the best X Slot Weapon now anyway and Disruptors are also alot better) TlDr: Half your weapons ignore shields, while a quarter is shit against them and the other quarter is shit against armor, forcing you to take down ALL the enemys defences and beeing inefficient at it. r/D4Druid. But this is close enough that you propably need a much longer test set to be sure. tech_arc_emitter_2. Make sure you're using Line computer on a BS rocking Cloud Lightning, artillery is absolutely inferior for this loadout. Critical mass of arc emitters will annihilate any ship composition, but you do need to outnumber the enemy pretty heavily. Focused Arc Emitter (energy) Kinetic Artillery (only good for facilitating energy weapons) Neutron Launcher (energy) Devastator Torpedo Whirlwind Missiles Marauder Missiles Disruptors (energy) Autocannons Strike Craft Guardian Point Defense (energy) So more than half are energy. This balances them out. The tachyon has 90% armor pen, and -33% shield damage. The Arc emitter splits its damage up too much. I've been doing more Stellaris math recently, trying to figure out optimal ship designs for 3. 6 isn't a Battleship meta. You can disagree all you want, but I've won a lot of games of Stellaris while not designing my own ships, hence why I say it's optional. The only time the Arc Emitter wins out here, is when 86% of a ships EHP comes from shields. Yeah the S- or M plasma on Line Cruisers are fine. The Low roll damage for a Lance is an Average roll for the Arc, even of rate of fire is countering consecutive low rolls you're better off damage wise with. I do a fleet of 15 Carrier battleships equipped with Arc Emitters and Whirlwind Missiles, and twice that number of Missile Cruisers, decked out with Whirlwind missiles and a Marauder missile stern. 1 Mass Driver; 3. a Tier 3 technology cannot be "drawn" until the country owns at least six Tier 2 technologies. Hi, so I understand tracking and evasion fairly well enough but I need others to give input on this if they know for certain because the Arc emitter…Literally all you need to do to win by giant margins in stellaris on any difficulty is focus on science and rush battleships with hangers and arc-emitters. Stellaris. But I’m also lazy. Depends on the enemy’s defenses. If you go with Battleships with Arc Emitters in the bow, there's no real point in using other weapon types. Still, in 3. 55. I still recommend battleships but you will suffer losses. I personally go with neutron / gigacannon, but others use arc emitter / cloud lightning. The Meta Artillery Battleship™ is Giga Cannon + Neutron Launchers (although an argument can be made for 3 Neutron + 1 Kinetic), with the Carrier variant replacing the middle section with Carrier and taking Arc Emitter (you can skip small slots and PD, they will do nothing unless you’ve let the enemy get into melee range). )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. Null Void beams are great for a full energy build, mostly because they have amazing range on them for taking down shields. If that's the case, you want a screen of corvettes/destroyers rocking PD and Ion Disruptors. A place to share content, ask questions and/or talk about the 4X grand strategy game Stellaris by Paradox Development Studio. Since you want to be focusing on energy weapons repeatables for the Launchers, tachyon lance or arc emitter can share the same bonuses, which leaves gigacannon in the dust. 45k did it for me with nearly no losses and it was quick AF. A complete and up-to-date searchable list of all Stellaris technology IDs. These IDs are usually used with the research_technology tech ID command. Add like 10+ battleships to your fleet and rip the enemy apart? I heard that the Giga Canon was the way to go, but it looks like Focused Ar Emitter (II) is way more OP. Techs needed: Battleships, Megacannon (or Arc Emitter), Kinetic Artillery, Shield Hardeners, Autocannons Required Components: Line Computer Sections: Spinal Mount Bow, Artillery Core, Broadside Stern X-Slot: 1 Tachyon. focused arc emitter would be awesome if there was a good armor ignoring L slot weapon but there isnt (cloud lightning has bad range and bad dps) Its worth it to go for arc emitters and leave the other slots empty as soon as your opponent has less than ~1/3 to 1/4 their defenses in form of hull, which is the case for fallen empires, contingency. The effect seems surprised and i feel a lot. Considering how much shielding the Unbidden have, and Arc Emitters ignore all armour and shields, they seem to be the go-to XL slot weapon. 3. One can tailor it a bit for Prethoryn/Hidden as needed. never combine arc with anything else that isn't disruptor. This does extremely well against AI fleets, tearing them to pieced with direct damage to Hull/Armour. Getting thorugh the shield to increase the damage dealt to the hull takes too long because only 50% hit the shields. If thats Contingency, just use disruptors instead. Then while conquering late mid-game, T5 shields, weapons, armos, etc, I find my 3 20K fleets being obiterated by the AI's own 20K fleets, which have lower tech armor, lower tech shields, and the same weapon tiers. They tend to fall off a bit late game once repeatables have gone on for awhile and people are running arc emitters that are wiping out enemy fleets before strike craft can get into range. Going heavy on PD is only necessary when fighting Prethoryn and L-cluster nanomachines. Cruiser VS Battleship. For the record, in stellaris 2. My fleet of 800 BBs with 250% arc emitter damage and speed kills about 15 of those BBs in 2 weeks. 2. Finally we have the Focused Arc Emitter which bypasses both armor and shielding and hits hull directly. Technology in Stellaris is divided into 3 research areas with each area corresponding with one of the research resources: Engineering, Physics and Society. Neutron Launcher: crazy-high damage output, very much a mini-Tachyon Lance. @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. Since they join the fight behind your main fleet, they largely won't get targeted, so they really don't need much for defence. The Contingency got nerfed pretty hard in 1. It would be really neat if you could also test Giga vs Arc emitter, and likewise Tachyon vs Arc emitter. But arc emitter carriers slot nicely with missile cruisers. XL mounts in general are not as good as 2 kinetic artilleries, if simply because of the former's limited firing arc. but medium sized brawler cruisers and destroyers+corvette swarms with small distruptors are very effective against contingency ships if combined with cloud lighting and arc emitter/carrier battleships as they negate contingency ships heavy armor and shields while. Against Cruisers and below, the evasion means Lances are worse, and Arc Emitters become the premiere XL weapon. A battleship has around 3000 hit points. The only difference was they were using Arc. Every single post lauding the capabilities of Arc Emitters will contain something about them being a "corvette-killer", but. Your Carriers will be weaker and more vulnerable for the loss of Focused Arc Emitter and Point Defense, and you will be locked out of Artillery Battleships which could be a problem against the crisis, but there's enough here to work with. This mod also adds two new technologies to the. There are multiple reasons for the choice, alone they might be sufficient, together they become overwhelming.

For example, the command research_technology_tech alien_life_studies will research Alien Life Studies. I used battleships with focused arc emitter on spinal mount and cloud lightning on all large slots. It can be a good option when going pure energy, as it will punish shield-heavy opponents that Neutron Launchers struggle with. 1 (played yesterday) funnily enough i had much better results with full on kinetic than arc emitters and empty, arc amitters and lightning and arc emitters and pd+hangar, despite heavily researching energy weapon repeatables and no kinetic ones, than with focused arc emitters. 1 (played yesterday) funnily enough i had much better results with full on kinetic than arc emitters and empty, arc amitters and lightning and arc emitters and pd+hangar, despite heavily researching energy weapon repeatables and no kinetic ones, than with focused arc emitters. Use X - 4M 1 hangar - 2M battleship loadout with arc emitters and all medium disruptors. 25+ arc emitters (or 50+ if you stack fleets) going off before the enemy is even in range will cause casualties and can win you a battle before it even properly started.

In EVE, for example, the projectile weapons don't use energy, at all. 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. i also have 20 crusiers in the same fleets 10 with disrupters+ plasma and 10 with normla alsers and gaus guns as gunships for smaller shipsIs there any way to remove arc emitters from use? My latest game has just turned into a match of whose X Arc emitter armed ships can destroy the opposing first which is pretty dull, i want to see my big ships dukeing it out with the enemies. Arc Emitters are already balanced, and don't need a change. I can see how the arc emitters aren't helping with defense breaking here. For battleship going with focused arc emitter in the x-slot, since you will lack any hard hitter weapons it is best to just hit the hull directly with your x-slots from longer range. 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. Build throwaway fleets of nearly naked PD corvettes, and soak up the first volley of torpedoes when you engage. 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. They have a fleet with about 90 of them and a single battleship, combined power of about 150k. Now im not a pro Stellaris gamer by any means so I figured id ask on the forums abit to see what is meta in the game. So you're often better off equipping just the arc. After your first fleet engages, have a second fleet of naked battleships engage. Don't even research them. Helican Jul 19, 2016 @ 9:11am. 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. So the battleships and cruisers try to maintain permanent 100 range while firing. 50% get to the shield. So that’s 2M damage per week. 1 Missiles; 4. So in ideal Gigacannon situation, Arc remains close. 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. The Arc emitter splits its damage up too much. If we divide this by the 3000 hull points each of those ships has, 5 carriers go down immediately while a sixth limps. Tachyon Lance + Neutron Launcher stays competitive with Focus Arc Emitter + Cloud Lightning up to around 90 levels deep. 4 Anti-Shield. Also, the void cloud lightning is better. Lances don't ignore shields, but do ignore 100% Armor, vs 50% armor ignore for the Arc Emitters. Stellaris currently has no AoE of any kind, again barring the minefield aura. The juggernaut is different because it can rotate so the arc emitters can always fire. Disruptors pair well with missiles, torpedoes, arc emitters, and strike craft. You either go with 4 Neutron Launchers or 4 Cloud Lightning. 例如：“异种. There's even an argument for picking the lowest tier engines to save on alloys. Of course it also costs you the entire hangar front section. Best Auras are locating and Reduction of Disengagement chance. The tachyon lance does 15. These are also easily moddable via its file, see #Tiers . distruptors are good in early to mid game,after that when fleets get bigger and carrier battleships come to play,they are useless. 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. Arc emitter battleship for less than 300 alloy,Allows for insanely massive production. All Discussions Screenshots Artwork Broadcasts Videos Workshop News Guides Reviews. That leaves you with lances or arc emitters. Issue 2: Some ships can take the hit. They also still lose against corvettes with similar results.

The damage spreading is somewhat known. It takes 5k corvettes to match the dame of the arc emitter alone and I’d lose about 300 ships per day. ago. Stellaris cheats and commands. It seems that arc emitters are slightly better. Slaanesh-Sama • 4 yr. Tho i have yet too see anything beat Arc Emitter spamm. 2. All are pretty good but GC has the edge. So you take a look at the x slot weapon options, glance at the stats and see that the arc emitter is a full penetration weapon, the tachyon lance is a hull shredder, and the giga cannon is a shield killer. You have Focused Arc Emitter for a big damage weapon against large ships, Strike Craft clean up smaller ships easily, while Marauders. !!! This is the Stellaris 2. Focused arc emitters and cloud lightning do wonders against them, and use some flak cannons to deal with their strike craft (or strike craft of their own). so no reverse engineering. They have roughly 75% the DPS of the other X-L mounts and the same range, whereas med disruptors have roughly 1/3rd the DPS of t5 energy/kinetic weapons and shorter range. Why bother having shields and armour tech when a battleship can have its hull removed with one volley. Arc emitter/ carrier core / multi missiles. Giga Launcher + Kinetic Artillery is also a good alternative to rip through their shields, or maybe even missiles given that they have shield penetration, but those require another set of repeatables. Basically, if MD are bad at focusing.
