Hull is 3300. Against a Xenophobic FE, your best bet is a fleet of Battleships (don't build anything else) with the XLLLL design: first section is Spinal Mount featuring an X weapon using the Arc Emitter / Focused Arc Emitter (this is really important), second section should be Artillery and have 3x L weapon, and last should have a single L slot. 1 arc emitter + 2 plasma cannons+1 phased distruptor +2 PD < > Showing 1-10 of 10 comments.

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. Neutron Launcher: crazy-high damage output, very much a mini-Tachyon Lance. 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.

Another thing to consider once you get to the artillery battleship stage of the game is that the Focused Arc Emitter is actually pretty good as an alpha strike weapon: it has the full 150 range and deals around 2/3 as much base damage as the other X weapons, but completely skipping shields and armor will get you a lot of outright kills on large. Reply ironsasquash. The battleship equivalents seem to pack multiple arc emitters each that can one-shot your corvettes regardless of evasion thanks to their 100% accuracy and tracking.

Do that and then ONLY arc emitters will be viable as armor and shields are already repeatable, if hull becomes repeatable only weapons that go directly to the hull. AE/Cloud lightning does more than 3x the damage against FE fleets since less than 1/3 of their health comprises of hull. Focused Arc Emitter in the front, a couple hangars in the core, and a couple Whirlwind Missiles in the stern should theoretically create a design that will be moving between 120 and 150 range. Lances don't ignore shields, but do ignore 100% Armor, vs 50% armor ignore for the Arc Emitters. This is a bit of a problem given the way the tech curve works in the current balance, since plasma is only relevant for maybe a few decades, so there's little point in even teching into it at all.
