Comprehensive and easy to understand, highly recommend for newbies to watch! Remember as well newbies, if you have a particularly important choke point, you can level up a general to place on your fortress habitat/world that will buff your defenses further! Genius armorer on admiral also buffs platforms if I recall.
Thanks man, this is exactly what I was looking for. Been playing Stellaris for a while now but I never min/max or got too deep into the systems, I just like to roleplay my empires. That said, I am getting tired of my hard work getting destroyed by the freaking Khan or an Awoken FE
Well, it's another way to play but looking at how rude the AI has become with the 3.8 i can only say i definitely should give a try at this strategy ! It looks like a good path to follow until cruisers are unlocked, avoiding building corvettes that will be useless fast 🤔
Well sadly because of the many changes to the game since this vid dropped. its usually better to make ships than defense platforms. So stacking armies on planets with fortresses on them with an orbital shield generator is usually your best bet now. As soon as an enemy is preparing or declares war i would do this with every planet on your borders or if you can in your empire. That way you win by war exhaustion.
@@darthflorida-man sadly defenses have got the nerf bat after i release that video. I keep it up in case it becomes strong again. And also because it isn't wrong if your gonna do it.
@@darthflorida-man Yeah that was a good video and it helped me when it was released. i guess those were the good old days when defense was good but yeah. Neutron launchers used to be goat with defense back in the day. However im pretty sure that despite what youtube says that it was actually more than a year. remember sometimes youtube grossly miscaclulates upload date estimates. ive seen videos that were 5 years old and know for a fact where youtube said it was 2 years ago or even 1 year. So be careful, make sure to check the date.
Did 5 of these in a neutron star with zroni stormcaster, astro-enginners and the rubricator, on a fanatical purifier crisis run, 100% sublight speed reduction, with all the buffs, neither of the 4 crisis, or any empire could get through that

Yeah I'm doing a defense playthrough right now. Definitely give it a try.
What do you recommend for me (who dont have any DLC yet) to create a good defesive plan?

Good content
Is this still viable? Should we use something else now other than missiles?

@@volairen Montu also has a video where he uses only neutron launchers, but that was also a year ago. Thanks.

Play at 1.25x and save yourself some time. 😅
why not ruination glare? 50% extra range on starbases means its range malus is negated!
