Arc Emitters have a base cooldown of 10 days, the Kinetic X slot weapons have a cooldown of 11 days while the other Energy X weapons have a cooldown like 0. Going heavy on PD is only necessary when fighting Prethoryn and L-cluster nanomachines. Field Manipulation The Field Manipulation tech tree focuses on Energy production and shields. 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. I’ve been running some tests against 10x unbidden using a mix of 30-40 destroyers with disrupters and flak, 20ish cruisers with torpedoes, missiles and disrupters, and like 5 carrier battleships with arc emitters. Plasma Throwers: tech_plasma_1. The downside is this is considered late game, because you must research Gamma Lasers to unlock Disruptors, then research all disruptor tech to unlock Arc.

It shoots a 30° electric arc spreading through nearby walls and between enemies. 1 (played yesterday) funnily enough i had much better results with full on kinetic than arc emitters and empty, arc amitters and lightning and arc emitters and pd+hangar, despite heavily researching energy weapon repeatables and no kinetic ones, than with focused arc emitters. The arc emitter has ~2/3 the DPS and the same range as its alternatives, although it lacks damage. ago.

Access to cloud lightning is well worth going to war over border access if you're already set on arc emitters. tech_arcane_deciphering: Armored.

Reply. Running a mixed force of missile cruisers (Nano-Swarm missiles and Devastator Torpedoes) and Battleships (Arc emitter, hangar section with PD and missiles, kinetic artillery aft). Not enough power for 6 shields. They have roughly 75% the DPS of the other X-L mounts and the same range, whereas med disruptors have roughly 1/3rd the DPS of t5 energy/kinetic weapons and shorter range. If that's the case, you want a screen of corvettes/destroyers rocking PD and Ion Disruptors.
