Stellaris Titans: the AI cheat code that we want

[krios41]

Many reasons:

1) The Ankylon fits with the mammalian ships design: boxy, crude shapes of grey metal, solid and geometrical.

2) The Ragnarov is a freudian ship, built as a glass cannon: supreme range, high burst DPS, but poor defences and poorer still ship to ship engagement weapons

3) The king of the hills among titans in SoaSE is and always be the Vorastra Titan: fleet annihilator with its ultimate, built with 4/4/2 in attack/defence/energy can decimate anything that survives the Maw, or jump away if needed thanks to teleport.

Sadly, thanks to its design it would fit more with the Unbidden/ AI rebels:

“THE MAW HUNGER!”

Only flaw with the Vorastra is the high micromanage tho. When you have a good fleet you don't have to worry about your Ragnarov being a glass canon.
But maybe the fact that you can reinforce your fleet ridiculously quick as a TEC has something to do with it...

I like micro, when it isn’t a hassle (and SoaSe hadn’t a bad micro)
Everything that isn't a capital ship is food for a Vorastra, while with a couple of Jarrasul Evacuators used in tandem, enemy titans can't even leave a gravity well if you don't want.
And let's not talk about superior movement speed, teleport network and the combinations with Kostura cannons... all that silliness that makes the Vasari Loyalist able to attack any planet everywhere and gobble down any fleet with ease, when the ships are used to their full potential.
You can glass a capital planet before the enemy fleet even realize it has to defend it…
But I can respect the preferences for the TEC Rebel: VS AI, the "Liberated Resistance" research is an insta win button.

... Am I the only one here who prefers the Advent titans? I need the Eradica for my evangelical zealots.

Advent yes: best faction lore wise, imo. And best bombers in the entire game: both number AND quality.
But Advent rebels are shmucks.
Coronata titans is so much better:

We're still missing the best titan for Stellaris fungoid... ideas?

 

[GamingHUD]

I normally opted for the Advent Loyalists and thus the Coronata because the whole "sacrifice friendly units to heal" mechanic has never really gelled with me in any game.

Ragnarov remains my favourite though.

Once the Eradica hit lvl 6 though it was such a pain to fight because of that post death invulnerability period though. I also thought it happened to be the best looking of the 6. Micro-phase jump on the Vorastra was so powerful though it was difficult to pick anything else.

For the fungiods, they actually remind me a lot of the Borg. Maybe a Borg cube but with rounded corners and edges?

SoaSE alien rebels for fungus.
with a little simplithing Vorastra Titan would work for bugs

Except for the look...
I mean, when I think to fungoid, I think Blorg....
Borg have cubes, but Blorg?
Companion Cubes?

We need a special ship set only for the Blorg. And this should be the Titan of the Blorg-type vessels of course.
But the normal fungoids should have something more... organical I think.

The only thing I find a little relevant is this:

Chagos brain coral: but, as the name imply, are corals. Nothing to do with fungoid.

would work better for mineraliods

Maybe use this one as titan for fungoid titan: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morchella_esculenta

The fungoid ships are hardly that fungal-looking, honestly. Rounded, bulbous, sure, but there are plenty of cables and little capacitor-looking things. Honestly, the only ship that plays particularly strongly to an actual "fungus" look is the Starport, what with being loosely mushroom-shaped and spewing out spores green gas constantly.

Perhaps this Biog living craft from 2000ad's Dan Dare will suffice?

From the weapons_components.csv file:

TITAN_LASER;300.00;-300.00;4000.00;6000.00;0.75;0.00;0.90;30.00;45.00;180.00;150.00;0.85;0.00;0.00;0.00;0.00;0.00;0.00;

The titan laser deals 4000-6000 damage, ignoring 90% armor and deals 25% less damage to shields. It has 85% accuracy and 0 tracking. That means more or less it can one shot everything. The one exception would be an extremely high shield tank which might be able to get enough shields to take one shot. I've made Battleships with 3000 shields before, which after the shield damage penalty would be able to tank a hit.

Whats the cooldown/warpup?
