If any other empire has a ship in the L-Cluster, three new fleets will spawn at the factory. The Gray Tempest home system contains a factory station twice as strong as the usual fleet, which will create reinforcements every 10 years. Due to the huge number of strike craft that nanite titans carry, own strike craft are more useful at fleet defense than offense. Nanite ships have equal amounts of tier V armor and shields, and their special strike craft can’t do point defense, so the best offensive weapon would be Torpedoes. Therefore point-defenses are necessary, preferably Flak Artillery, and Crystal-Infused Plating or Crystal-Forged Plating components and to a lesser extent shields will help. Their energy weapons deal -25% damage to shields and double damage to armor, their strike craft ignore shields and 66% of armor, and their titan weapons ignore all shields and armor. Nanite fleets are composed of one titan and 5 cruisers, all equipped with a few energy weapons and numerous strike craft. If the colony is a habitat or a ring world segment, it will be destroyed instead.
If a Gray Tempest fleet bombards a colony until it reaches 100 devastation, the colony will turn into a Nanite World. Each Gray Tempest fleet will be about 10k-100k fleet power, dependent on the difficulty. In a tiny galaxy with only one L-Gate, the empire that activated it will endure the invasion instead.
All L-Gates in the galaxy except the first one activated will open at the same time and bring an invasion force. The most common outcome of the L-Gate activation is an invasion from the L-Cluster. Gray Tempest emerging from a reactivated L-Gate After L-Gate activation, it will grant visibility of the L-Cluster. Unlike regular gateways, L-Gates in enemy systems can be used during war.Īvailable only with the Utopia DLC enabled.Ĭompleted Sentry Arrays will not grant visibility of the L-Cluster before an L-Gate is activated. Only one L-Gate is located in the L-Cluster, in the Terminal Egress system all L-Gates in the galaxy connect to the same L-gate in Terminal Egress, and the Terminal Egress L-gate can be used to travel to any other L-Gate in the galaxy. Up to 10 L-Gates can exist in a galaxy – scaled by galaxy size, and new ones cannot be constructed. Once the first L-Gate is activated, one of four things will be found, with the following weights: If an empire owns more than one system with an L-Gate, one will be randomly selected as the target of the project.
Additionally, the empire will have to own a system with an L-Gate so that a special project will be added to activate the L-Gate, taking 180 days for a science ship to open the gate. Once 7 L-Gate Insights have been collected, the L-Gate Activation technology will become available for research. Once an empire acquires 5 L-Gate Insights, all other empires will be notified. Insights can be obtained by investigating certain anomalies, defeating certain enemies, researching the L-Gate Insight repeatable technology, asking the Curator Order for an insight every decade (at the cost of −5000 Energy) or, if Ancient Relics is enabled, spending 50 Minor Artifacts to discover an L-Gate Insight with a cooldown of 10 years. Upon first encountering one, the L-Cluster entry will be added to the Situation Log, requiring the collection of 7 L-Gate Insights. Some Black Hole systems are home to L-Gates these heavily modified gateways cannot be activated with the Gateway Activation technology.
