In singleplayer you can just mass these, the AI will never counter them. One mechanic in favor of bypass weapons is that ships lose 1% fire rate for every 2% hull lost, thus an alpha strike from Arc Emitters can reduce sustained damage from enemy fleets.

It also seems like spinal mount carriers with arc emitters are better carriers. 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. Community Hub. Most urgent late game problem.

But, what makes them better than missiles, strike craft, or kinetics is the fact that they have higher. but theres nothing wrong with a good Arc emitter 😂 also, fit a battleship with low range, high damage brawler weapons like neutron blasters to hold the line. In singleplayer you can just mass these, the AI will never counter them. Magyarharcos. This is my first time I played with Stellaris, I think this is Stellaris Apocalypse, and apart from an early aborted attempt, this is my first game, so I don't know what can be. My fleets usually have a composition that looks generally like arcs/neutrons on the battleships (artillery computer), artillery/plasma on the cruisers (line), autocannons/pd on the destroyers (picket), and autocannons/plasma on the corvettes (swarm). This means 86% of the ships DPS is ineffective until shields are down. Mixing Focused Arc Emitter with Strike Craft doesn't make much sense. There are 3 possible X-slot choices at their most highly upgraded versions, and the Juggernauts can equip two X-slot weapons on a ship (including both the same or two different ones). Depends on your other ships and weapons and what type of defense your enemy is using. 3. . So Mega/Giga cannons are the way to go in most cases. Cloud lightning and Arc Emitter can also roll several low damage hits which can cause you to lose much then normal. It goes double for a penetrating design, though, since Cloud Lightning is really poor (bad enough to make me wonder about using Arc Emitters with Neutron Launchers and Kinetic Artillery to leave my new starbases stronger while sacrificing less firepower) and Disruptors are absolutely useless, but Arc Emitters are good. 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 complement everything else. ) Reply . tech_arc_emitter_2. Arc Emitters are already balanced, and don't need a change. The 25x contingency battleship has 220k hull, 770k ish armor and 550k ish shield. A battleship has around 3000 hit points. That almost never happens. Ok so I will be going Arc Emitters + Phased Disruptors and Full Armor with 1 shield because I like to keep all my weapons in one tech and all of my defense in another tech for maximum repeatable technology efficiency. So in ideal Gigacannon situation, Arc remains close. 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.
