This week’s question comes from Agil:
If I have crusaders with arbs, should I use Autoloader 3?
Dear Agil,
Thanks for the question and it is a good one. I am sure many
have a different opinion on this, and they are all valid. The Arbalest does much better with autoloader
three than without during the ranking process. Yes, you can build without it,
but then you are stuck at a reload speed of 2.8 until you get some foundry work
done. With Autoloader 3 you will be at 1.94 giving you more shots over the
course of a battle that lasts a bit longer. At Legend rank, it is .70 without
and .49 with autoloader 3. Meaning that in 2 seconds of fight you will get two
without the autoloader and 4 with the special.
The DPS is just that much greater with Autoloader 3. Can you
go without it? Of course, but you will get better performance from your
crusader with it than without out. And this is a type of fleet that should do
level 67 draconian strongholds for you if built right.
Here is an example of a build that could do multiple 67
stronghold holds. While you are building the fleet, you would do lower level
ones until you get it ranked and all the technology I have listed. If you do
not have the nuclear accelerator, then you can use harden barrel 3 and then
make room by removing some armor. You can use any D5 armor in place of the D5-M
I just used that as a place holder, and it is my favorite armor. Plus, the new
draconian strongholds have some missile damage that you are not shooting down,
so better penetrative protection the better.
Great analysis and information once again. Thanks Specs.
