Arc emitter BS did lose to 200 torpvettes and 200 autocannon/plasma corvettes. Let's just get this out front: that 150% damage buff and 20% range increase with tachyon lances/ arc emitters is just plain mean. Hit multiple targets. Meanwhile, a Devastator Torpedo Cruiser would have a better pairing with Carrier Battleships that just use Focused Arc Emitter, Strike Craft, and Missiles that go right through shields like the Torpedoes do. 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. Using crystal plating to improve hull points doesn’t work enough. For the auxiliary slots i do afterburners. On paper Cloud Lightning looks good, but its damage output is pathetically low. Somewhat new to Stellaris, and all the guides on ships I can find are for 2. Design B: Neutrons and Focused Arc Emitters. Their burst is immense and cuts through the stacked AE defenses. Not enough power for 6 shields. All you need for this massive size of fleets is: Enough energy and strongholds. 139. My typical loadout on battleship is Focused Arc Emitter, Kinetic Artillery and Neutron Launchers. Arc Emitters are extremely strong and well under estimated, especially as the enemy gets T5 sheild and armour. But I would just have them have a hull section with smaller weapons At that point, just don't bother with Battleships. just lost a battle that I honestly think I should have won enemy had 9 battleships, with focused arch emitter and 4 large plasma modules I had 150 corvettes with full disruptors, 2 shield modules and 1 armor module I lost, but not only did I lose I didnt manage to destroy a single battleship. Works pretty well against the ai. Pd corvettes provide strategic mobility to the fleet. Depending on the size of your fleet and the attackers, they may never even get into weapons range before they are eradicated. . Asking the Stellaris community a. Members Online. So, if you're not sure what to do with battleships or feel like your battleship game isn't as good as it could be, I highly recommend watching the video above. 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). I think Focused Arc Emitters can make sense to help you alpha strike units while whittling Shields/Armor; but it is wasteful to a degree. ; About Stellaris Wiki; Mobile view Arc Emitter [edit | edit source] A scaled-up version of the Cloud Lightning, itself a scaled-up version of the Disruptor, these weapons launch lightning arcs of chaotic and unstable energy at targets, ignoring armor and shields. First, range. This isn't. Main battle fleet is a BB deathball, with a lot of corvettes in a separate fleet to screen and distract.

Note that since the other weapons have no firing arc, the best setup right now are whirlwind missles and strike craft. If you have the Enigmatic Decoder then use that (it's just a better Auxiliary Fire Control), and otherwise the only reason not to use Auxiliary Fire Control is if all your weapons are already at 100% accuracy, in which. - Fixed Giga Cannon, Tachyon Lances and Focused Arc Emitters technologies having the draw weight and cost of tier 4 technologies despite being tier 5 technologies. The best counter to enemy strikecraft is your own strikecraft, as well as PD, which your hangar slots will provide. ago. Personally late game I just use Battleships with a Focused Arc Emitter, 2 Phase Disruptors, and 2 Plasma Cannons. Spinal mounts are better than 2xL, neutron launchers rule the L slot, so Spinal mount weapon + 4 Neutron launcher is the default. Against fallen empires the established wisdom is teching into torpedo corvettes and arc emitters to bypass all their repeatable shield and armour tech. Strike Craft are unnecessary if you are using.
