Introduction

This video explores a powerful, versatile corvette design in Stellaris 4.0. The speaker argues this design, utilizing artillery combat computers and specific weaponry, could be the only ship design a player needs throughout the game.

Key Takeaways

• The "Lame Corvette": An early-game corvette build using blue lasers, flak batteries, and a swarm computer for high evasion is exceptionally effective.
• Artillery Combat Computers: The introduction of artillery combat computers for corvettes revolutionizes their combat role, allowing them to engage at long range and avoid close-range enemy fire.
• Ancient Nanom Missile Cloud Launcher: This late-game archotech weapon, despite its minor artifact cost, delivers devastating damage due to its high fire rate and massive missile volume. The artifact cost is offset by the updated Faculty of Artio Studies building, which generates minor artifacts.
• Late-Game Corvette Swarm: A massive fleet of these long-range missile corvettes, combined with their high speed and evasion, can easily overwhelm even late-game battleships and other powerful ships.
• Faculty of Artio Studies: This building significantly increases minor artifact production, making it easier to build and maintain the nanomissile corvettes.
