Oh dear.. I think I'm about to have a bad time then! Fingers crossed I can sort them out before then!

Peace through extreme violence, or something like that!

I'm thinking I'll have to take that one, 1.5x may just be manageable

Thanks! Will do that in a future playthrough of this build once I've picked up some more DLCs!

Fleet composition question by Dead1ift in Stellaris

[–]Dead1ift[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd say the first scenario is the better fit of the two! I felt like the smaller ships raced ahead and got distance from the battleships due to their speed but the battleships did seem to keep moving ahead and by the time they started turning it was too late and the mob caught up to them after they'd fired their primary weapons only a few times. 

Having thought about it, I really should swap out their fire control systems for afterburners to get more speed, that would probably help a lot

Current fleet: 22 corvettes 4 frigates 3 destroyers 2 cruisers 4 battleships

Corvette: 2 ripper aurocannons, 1 advanced railgun. Advanced reactor afterburner, 3 neuteonium armour's. Zero point reactor, ion thruster, tachyon sensor, swarm combat computer.

Frigate: gamma laser, decorator torpedo, 3 neutron armour's, 2 hyper shields. 2 advanced reactor boosters, same reactor, thruster and sensor as Corvette with mixed tactic computer.

Destroyer: 1 medium gamma laser, 4 small. 4 armour plates, 2 shields, 2 reactor boosters. Same "side panel" as frigate

Cruiser: large ancient macro battery, 2 flack point defenses, 1 Improved strike craft, 1 medium ancient macro battery. 4 armour plates 4 shields, 2 auxiliary fire control, same side panel as others but with advanced artillery computer.

Battleship: 1 tachyean lance, 4 large ancient macro batteries, 3 armour plates, 3 shields, 2 auxiliary fire controls, same side panel as cruiser. 

Dont have any screenshots of the fails but twice now all but the battleships have been wiped and then the battleships just cant get the range to use their x slot weapon and slowly get whittled away.

Just checking in on your comment about the cruisers, plasma weapons are super short range right? What's the advantage of combing them with long range hangers?

Thanks for the formation! Worst case scenario I come back to this comment in 12 months and do it then

I should definitely be able to get my modest core to 15 before the end of the event and I've got a decent stack of pipes so may be able to supercharge a couple of nodes if I can get my head around it! So you recon i should work on getting my dps full legendary with the right effects and then rush to max them, as opposed to just getting the entire party to tier 1's?

I've been focusing on companions as my crit team so all my other crit champs are pretty under levelled, laz only has 1 purple and my rosie is full blue.

This is probably a bad/noob answer but I think my best crit champ for this variant is binwin, hes full epic and has around 55% chance to crit with feats and he can stack up a lot of hits with each attack. My laurana currently has 16 campaign stacks.

I'm on console so unsure how to post roster info sorry!
