It offers the best alpha strike) as many shields as you can fit one shield capacitor one reaction booster Yeah, for single player, focused arc emitter carrier battleships, with pd and missles, are a very good all rounder. EDIT: It seems to lack some higher level weapons: at least Focused Arc Emitter, Tachyon Lance, Kinetic Artillery, Giga Cannon, Advanced Strike Craft and Guardian Point Defense are missing. 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). I’ve read around a lot that arc emitter is worse than running either X weapons, but the Fallen Empire targeted me and is bringing a 174k fleet to my 120k fleet. 57 days; Focused Arc Emitter takes 28. I have had insane games with focused arc emitters (wondershot) because you can just bypass all shields and armor. This page was last edited on 14 October 2017, at 11:50. On paper Cloud Lightning looks good, but its damage output is pathetically low. Auto-best is not good, it frequently makes completely nonsensical design decisions. Copy Copy tech_arc_emitter_2.
