Summary | 0001321: Anti-starship arachnids can shoot everything | ||||
Description | Anti-starship arachnids are not limited to firing only on starships. With 160k damage and 7s reload they pretty much destroy enemy fleets single-handedly. I'm somewhat tempted to see if I could finish the game using only them. | ||||

No, that's on purpose. They're just especially mean vs starships. If they were so overly specialized they'd be worthless. Remember, these are core ships! |
|
A core fighter 5 does 115k damage against bombers every 4 seconds at 3900 range. A bomber does 300k damage against UH every 8 seconds at 6000 range. A frigate does 160000 damage to Light every 7 seconds with 10000 range. So their damage is roughly in line with other core ships... but I listed the damage against an optimal target. The arachnid does its full damage against everything. And they outrange almost everything and move twice as fast as any real combat ship. I mean, if it's really on purpose, I'll continue to cackle with glee while they burn and pillage, but it seems like they are the solution to any problem I have. |

the AI no longer builds arachnids. Quiet :p |
