Instead we see missiles hitting every time, meaning it's the difference between multiplying by (0. (50/50 armor/shields, half weapons good against shield, Hull and other half against armor etc) 2) Focused arc emitter/carrier/medium disruptor battleship (with afterburners) 3) Disruptor menacing corvettes (with afterburners, requires Become the Crisis). Focused Arc Emitter is undoubtedly the strongest one: it has a decent DPD, Superior range compared to most other weapons in the game, and its attacks always. Crisis fleets are not big in numbers.
