Top 5 Ships in Sins of a Solar Empire 2

TEC Kol-class Battleship

The Kol is equipped with some very powerful weapons, including heavy beam cannons and autocannons, which allow it to engage effectively with both enemy capital ships and strike craft. Its Flak Burst ability is particularly strong against swarms of strike craft, making it a valuable ship in large-scale battles. The Kol-class is also known for its heavy tanking ability, allowing it to absorb significant amounts of damage during frontline engagements. I can surely say that Kol is simply overpowered!

Advent Seeker

The Seeker is designed for speed and manoeuvrability, allowing it to reposition quickly during battles. This makes it highly effective for hit-and-run tactics and flanking manoeuvres when players can freely exploit enemy weaknesses. It can also provide valuable support to allied ships with the help of its abilities, such as enhancing the effectiveness of nearby units. This makes it a great ship in larger fleet engagements, where coordination and support can turn the tide of any battle.

Akkan Battlecruiser

The Akkan serves as the primary colonization ship for the TEC, enabling players to expand their territory. It’s possible due to one of the most powerful broadside attacks in the game when fully upgraded. Direct confrontations with enemy ships aren’t a problem either for this ship, allowing you to deal significant damage during battles. I think that Akkan can easily fulfill the dual role of a combat and colonization ship, which makes it a versatile choice for early-game strategies.

Kodiak Heavy Cruiser

The Kodiak, equipped with powerful autocannons, excels in engagements against lower-tier enemy ships. It’s designed to absorb significant amounts of damage, making it one of the toughest ships in the TEC fleet outside of the capital ships. This durability allows it to stay in the fight longer, providing sustained firepower against enemy forces. Heavy cruisers aren’t terribly versatile, but they can do what they do best, which is help clear paths through enemy lines.

Percheron Light Carrier

Lastly, compared to other capital ships, the Percheron is relatively inexpensive to build and maintain. It can support two squadrons of fighters or bombers, providing significant air support to the fleet. This makes it effective for countering enemy bombers and engaging lightly armored targets like long-range frigates. I noticed that, due to its design, the Percheron typically operates from the edges of a gravity well. This allows it to stay out of direct combat while still contributing to the battle through its strike craft.

That’s it for my list of the best ships in Sins of a Solar Empire 2. Stay tuned for more SoaSE2 tips and tricks articles right here.
