Doesn't bypass (though the Arc Emitters usually do most of the work) but has way better range. It’s inside the forward hard mount, then a little up.

So, let's say you are shooting at a ship that has 50% armor reduction, 100 shields, and 100 hull points. I have got some value from Arc emitter X slot, triple kinetic artillery, and double M plasma cannon. Finally we have the Focused Arc Emitter which bypasses both armor and shielding and hits hull directly. Stellaris. 6. Stellaris Dev Diary #297 - Leaders, The Council, and Agendas.

Finally, the Focused Arc Emitter is actually the strongest of the three in isolation, but its downside is that it has no good weapons to combo with; Cloud Lightning has terrible combat stats and Disruptors are even worse. Arc emitters + cloud lightning battleships are both fun and worth it. This is a powerful combination of long-ranged weapons that synergize and give strong performance against any kind of enemy fleet composition. 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.

Titan full Loadout of best Design. Arc emitter battleships, carrier battleships, and kinetic artillery battleships. 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. The arc emitter is Severely underated in my opinion and will do rather well i highly recommend it and to have several tech lance battleships to deal/soften up some targets. Gigacannon needs to do 12600 to kill. I just wouldn't put them on the L-Slots in battleships, they totally underperform there. Top tiers should be used for the comparison - and may be, I just can’t tell as-is - so a label there would be nice, and different tier information useful for which weapons to use throughout the game. Arc Emitter + Cloud Lightning is the combo. It's stuck at a tech level behind Phased Disruptors, which in turn are stuck a tech level behind NL/KA and don't even come in L size.

Just focus on Battleships with: full shields (their only weapons are energy based, and your strike crafts+point defense should easily neutralize theirs), cloud lightning/arc emitters (they have strong shields/armor but weak hull), point defense and strike crafts to neutralize theirs as already stated. The Meta Artillery Battleship™ is Giga Cannon + Neutron Launchers (although an argument can be made for 3 Neutron + 1 Kinetic), with the Carrier variant replacing the middle section with Carrier and taking Arc Emitter (you can skip small slots and PD, they will do nothing unless you’ve let the enemy get into melee range). Unbidden are heavily shielded, so penetration still works very well, and that's what I used. Otherwise 95% accuracy and 100% accuracy would be pretty similar. 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. Crisis need rework. I’ve had trouble in the past with their arc emitters and need a counter.
