As a German I really felt that "zack!" at 6:16

I’d say out of all the weapons covered I’d swap the railgun and deck cannon positions in your list. That rail fan mega ship you showed has like 3x the fire power of ur massive straight ion/chain gun ship whilst only being half the size lmao, and if you were to throw some emp launcher modules on either side of the ship literally nothing can fight it as long as ur crew macro is on point so that u have 100% uptime on the fan. By FAR the most broken strat (followed closely buy a ion nuke ship like ur crescent mega ship). All and all a good guide u got a sub!

Hi, Thanks for your support, I really appreciate that! You are right, my railgun ship has by far the most firepower. However, a MEGA-ship with railguns is resticted in its size and I’d also say in its shape (but its still the strongest weapon in this category). The Deck Cannons on the other hand are extremly universal, you can literally throw them on every build, size and shape of your ship doesnˋt matter here as much + they also have decent firepower for their size and that is why I decided to put them in the first category and not the railguns. Have a nice day and see you next time :D

That is indeed a cool concept! Complicated, but very cool and worth trying.

I use 5 ship base on moba concept..tank,support,sniper,jg,mid...tank will have heavy aemour and shiele..support will become ship taht carry extra ammo and repair part..jg will become agile ship that can attack enemy and run..snipe i use rail gun to shoot from distance and deliver heavy power..mid will become full laser ship

@@shinrate sounds like a good plan! 😊

On mining laser - why is it low on the list? it has the same damage per second per power use as the ion while also being happy being buried inside with not even lil holes for fifing, and can aim wherever (not literally 360 but you get my point) - range is a decent reason ofc Also confused why you can't mount and use the exterior energy weapons (laser, hvy laser, disruptor) the same way you mount the chain gun, inside a tunnel that protects the weapon. This technique with diagonal ships also makes the cannons useable and protected

@@entitxy_4810 Hi there, to use mining lasers sounds logic at first and isn‘t a bad idea, but sadly mining lasers have many disadvantages. Firstly I think, especially after the update, they do less damage per energy now then Ion beams and have less range, as you already mentioned. On top of that, mining lasers sweep around quite a lot, but when it comes to lasers, you want some focused damage output to take down certain parts of the enemy ship. And Ion beams have another great advantage: prisms! They not only focus the laser beam, they also increase its range, which means you can conduct the beam throughout your entire ship, allowing you to turn otherwise useless ship parts into great damage supporters. So I wouldn’t say its impossible to use mining lasers, but it’s simply ineffective. Same goes for lasers and cannons, you need a lot of them to be effective, and that means you also have to expose wide(r) parts of your ship (especially with cannons). Its just way better to fill this space with more powerful weapons like nukes or chain guns. I hope that answers all questions,thank you for this great comment and I wish you a nice day :D

Diagonal to normal is it possible?

[@Gobbo-Gamer]

yes I think this should be possible, but to be honest I havenˋt tried it yet, btw I can tell I am already working on something… ;)
