This is only one example and with weapons slots only, you already can see that Mortalens can have 50% higher fire power than Harkonish one, but there is something else I want to show. Mortalen frigate have 2 large weapons slots with 180arc of fire and 1 with 270arc of rie at front of ship+ 2 small weapons slots with 180arc of fire and 1 with 270arc of fire at back of ship. You can see Harkonish frigate have 2 small weapons slots with 360arc of fire + 2 large weapons slots with 180arc of fire on sides of ships. So if your ships have any 360degree weapon slots, dont waste them on ‘seeking’ type weapons, put there weapons with direct fire like rail guns or laser beams or point defence.Įvery race have different ships, you all probably know that they look different, but do you know that they are build different too? Click on reference above, you will see comparison of Harkonish Fleet Frigate hull to Mortalens Fleet Frigate hull(same hull types for 2 different races). Please have in mind that my english isnt my native language and isnt at the best shape.Įvery weapon slot is showing you in what arc/degree weapon will be able to shoot, but what game isnt tell to you is that all ‘seeking’ type weapon have 360 arc of fire no matter in what slot you will put them.įor example if you will put missile weapon in slot on back of the ship with 45 arc of fire, it will be able to shoot at targets in 360arc around your ship. With time I will try to update this guide, add more things or edit existing tips/mechanics if those will change. I think those mechanics/tips should be know for every player who like to design their military ships. With already 70 hours of playing behind me in DW2, I decided to write my first ever guide on steam about stuff that game itself dont say to players and which I was testing for last few days. Those are pretty crucial mechanics in term of ships designing, plus I will share some tips with ships design. Stellaris nsc drop pods.Distant Worlds 2 dont tell about many things in term of weapons and ship behaviour.
