I put in about 200 hours before Disharmony, then floundered enough in Disharmony that I decided to play some other games while the community figured things out.



Any good guides for battle tactics?

Basically early game glass cannon ships with nothing but long range kinetics are the #1 cheese. Since it takes a lot to survive past the long range phase against them without taking heavy losses. Anything else and you're just going to get killed in the long range phase, I don't see any point of long range missiles or lasers, LRKs are just mathematically better now.



Late game this gets countered by '4CP tank' ships. With the new system you only need around 5 kinetic deflectors to reduce the damage from kinetics by about 85%, on 4CP ships anyway because of their low hull weakness. Melee kinetics are arguably the best weapons on these tank ships because they're the most DPS in the game considering all phases combined, but getting to the melee phase without being 1 shot in long range phase or retreated upon is the problem that needs to be overcome.

Thanks for this stuff, good guide

There have been some tests done in disharmony using dreadnaughts that you may find helpful. heres a link: /#/endless-space/forum/27-general/thread/10605-math-makes-power-module-useless
