"Swarm" and "Torpedo" behavior will charge in, "Picket" and "Line" behaviors will attempt to stay at the range of their median range weapons, and "Artillery" and "Carrier" will try to stay at the range of their longest ranged weapons.This generally increases the desire for ships to remain at range if possible.

Damage has been adjusted to be balanced as a Torpedo class weapon, and like the new Torpedoes, they deal increased damage to larger targets. Energy Torpedoes such as Proton and Neutron Launchers have been changed into G class weapons with a minimum range.Torpedoes now have a maximum firing arc of 25 degrees and a shorter maximum range.The Unbidden also get a reduced variant of this. Torpedoes now gain a multiplicative damage bonus to their damage based on the ship size of the target, as do Prethoryn missiles.Added a new ship size: Frigates are an advanced form of Corvette specialized in delivering G class weapons.If you do not possess any weapons that fulfill the selected role, it’ll do its best with what you have. Ship Roles can now be selected to auto-design ships that actually fulfill certain roles, such as Artillery, Brawler, Torpedo, and so on.More counters should exist for different strategies, and mixed fleets should be more viable than before, covering for the weaknesses of other ship types. The Stellaris 3.6 “Orion” update includes many changes to combat.
