Stellaris - The Juggernaut (Also the Mega Shipyard) 

Juggernaut in a nutshell: Xenonion Reporter: “So, where have you come from to serve on this ship?” Crewemember: “I *live* here.”

"You can only build one" *Laughs in upcoming mods*

Next Expansion: Introducing the next larger ship class....the Craftworld! Imagine a planet with engines and MORE GUNS!!! Why I hear you ask.......Because!!

It’s not meant to be effective it’s to send a message.

corvette? no battleship? no titan? maybe juggernaut? JUGGERNAUT!!!! low self esteem? build a juggernaut! car broke down? build a juggernaut! stuck in the middle of nowhere and your phone is empty and there nowhere to pluggin your charger? build a juggernaut!

ASpec its a Giant Honking Huge Ship. Thats all the reason you need to build a Juggernaut.

The mega shipyard, I'd have settled just for the double ship build speed! You're going to crank out battleships like they're destroyers! XD

Having a Juggernaut acting as a mobile star base would be useful for fighting an endgame crisis accross the galaxy.

"You can only build one" *_Modders: "Are you sure about that?"_*

"You can only have one." Mod "You can have Juggernaut fleets."

The Juggernaut sounds like it will actually be really useful if you're in a federation. So many wars take place on the other side of the federation, where it takes you absolute ages to reinforce. Not so useful if you're just expanding your empire across the galaxy, but real handy if you're trying to expand your federation. And federations are the theme of the expansion pack.

I wanna mod out the limit for Juggernauts. A Juggernaut armada sounds epic.

1:40 "You'll Never fly this bad boy around without any support whatsoever." Me: sends collousus alone into enemy territory to neutron sweep the planet.

I think the supremacy looks Hella fine as a flagship. Also the star forge gonna be the best mega structure for xenophobic militaristic empire.

Aspec: “this is not optimal and a waste of resources” Me: “but it’s big and cool. So I don’t care”

Sees new juggernaut class New ship classes mod Flagships: how cute.

I find the Juggernaut incredibly useful. But to each their own.

A juggernaut could be very useful when fighting the unbidden. Since there are no shipyards to capture, you have to go back to friendly territory, which can slowly expand. But the jughurnaut allows your rletes to repair after every fight without leaving the space you fought for undefended.

I wonder if there are gonna be End-game Crisis Juggernauts? Like maybe the Prethoryn Scourge could get one? Or the War in Heaven, with the Fallen Empires using their own Juggernauts? Or the Nanite Swarm? Oh jeez, suddenly those end game threats seem a lot scarier. =/

"I don't use juggernauts, I don't see any reason to build them". Gets his great fleet sniped and anihilated by a smaller force across an entire system.

Basically the Juggernaut is like the Supremacy class mega star destroyer from The last Jedi. It even kind of looks like it.

"a flagship" *FTL PSTD INTENSIFIES*

I just realised we have Juggernaut and Colossus in Sellaris. Kind like in a Deadpool 2

RIP, u gonna get demonetised for saying cocaine

Because the juggernaut looks cool is why you build it

Great, just when I thought my Stellaris addiction was cured...I get triggered. Oh well, time to fry another laptop.

Of course, you know the SpiffinBrit. :)

I feel like the primary advantage the Juggernaut has over capturing an enemy shipyard is simply the fact that it is mobile. This means you can reinforce and repair ships in-situ, at the battlefront itself rather than several jumps behind. in addition, it isn't a static target that the enemy for the enemy to zero in on and reclaim, and the enemy shipyard thing also relies a lot on luck - you need to find and capture it, and then hold it against your enemies - and there is no way of knowing if this new shipyard will even be in an advantageous position for *you* when reinforcing fleets. By contrast, you can move the juggernaut and its escort fleet, so you can position it to be maximally effective with reinforcing the front line fleets yourself, and you can therefore respond to shifts in the front better than if you relied on a static station.

What if the mega shipyard also applies to the Juggernaut with it's bonus speed time?

Just the point out, the juggernaught has got a couple shipyard sections to allow for frontline repair, upgrade and building. Makes it a little more enticing

I like that they're working on something to make strike craft and missiles more viable but a 30% debuff to enemy point defense damage and rate of fire is nowhere near enough IMO. Hopefully they add some other tech or other mechanic that increases strike craft evasion and makes them scramble and engage from greater distances than large capital ship mounted weapons.

"Your death approaches!" -Juggernaut

Feels like 1)ECM Emitters and Strike Command should be put onto single module with bonuses combined; 2)same goes for Munitions Plant and Target Acquisition Array; 3)Subspace Amplifier should be buffed to 50%?

Aspec, I've got one word for you; Strike craft!

“Lemme uh lemme uh get a sip of my beverage here.” Classic.

The reference to the spiffing brit made me laugh

SO i guess things are going in a way for Empires to say "Its not about the money, its about sending a message".

'40% range is my favorite' (c) Aspec Also Aspec, after federations comes out 'Why do my battleships charge in enemy weapon range when they can shoot things far far away?'

Can't wait for people to make mods for this thing

If not using mods i see this as very OP think about it: War on an enemy you are 1/3rd through their empire when your fleets are looking pretty bad your empire is on the other side of the galaxy and it would take to long to refit them all and get back then the Juggernaut shows up and your fleets refit and rearm and now they push through the enemy's lines like a hot knife through melted butter. It sounds amazing.

Munitions Plant sound nice for my despoilers! Means I can rob planets of pops faster!

Juggernaut will be screwed if a middle aged woman decided to pilot a cruiser by herself and launch it into lightspeed into the Juggernaught

As a small detail thant annoy me I think they should rescale ships stations and planets i think a battle ship shouldn't be bigger than a planet

It cant merge into fleets, and its effects are system wide. Its a mobile base and you can put multiple fleets in its orbit.

Imagine a nomads origin where you start with a (possibly weaker) juggernaught and cannot build any starbases!

3:30 - It means they'll be able to shoot *first*, which is valuable, given Stellaris combat generally gives more value to the alpha-strike than to DPS or tanking.

The juggernaut sounds awesome for the sole reason that it's fucking huge, it's just a shame it doesn't have more firepower cause if we go by the usual, this thing will take space for two titans, and I don't think it has more firepower than those combined, so it'd be nice to have more guns on it. As for the mega shipyard... OOOOOOH FUCK YEAH!! Is it huge? Check. Does it have some useful function? Check. Will it help me get overpowered? Check, check, aand check! This thing is awesome and I love it

Strike Command and ECM emitters sound like they're not that great unless you're running mods that give you freedom to specialize with the applicable weapons, like tactical ship sections or extra ship components.

ABSOLUTELY *SHITTING* FLEET POWER

If the juggernaut can repair the ships while flying that would be usefull and sick

"Its the equivalent to a Gustav cannon from ww2" GUSTAV CANNON PTSD INTENSIFIES (COD WWII)

that target acquisition array would be really powerful used in tandem with a corvette based tackle fleet that could go engage the enemy so your larger ships could maintain their distance and thus saftley engage the enemy without them being able to fire back because they dont have the range and the corvette tackle fleet keeps them from getting closer

ok I just realised. The juggernaut has 2 shipyards. that means it can repair on the move. A MOBILE FUCKING REPAIRYARD!

As a gigastructure player that mega shipyard has nothing on my hyper assembly shipyard

So who is gonna make the Snoke's flagship and Thanos' ship????

Have the mega shipyard, then leave the jugg with a support fleet one system back from the front line creating ships for the main fleet at double time.

Years ago when i first started playing I look up stellaris video and came gere. I pressed play and after I heard the beginning speech I thought it was pretensions. How far I have come.

Honestly, I would have tried making the Juggernaught a solo entity, that would benefit from being alone, while also from being surrounded by enemies. Give it some selfrepairs every time it kills something, and some levelling structure, much like Titans in Sins of a Solar Empire. With levels giving more abilities, probably more weapon slots instead of ultimate abilities or so. Or the ability to equip greater weapon sizes.

More stuff that you can build only when you've effectively already won the game.

A portable shipyard would be a great addition, opinion?

Paradox: we should add an even bigger ship that bridges the gap between titans and colossus Some stellaris designer: saw the last jedi

If anyone is up in the air about constructing this beautiful thing. It can upgrade itself, switching the fleet buff on the fly. But that's really a minor thing compared to its BFS factor.

Hears spiffing brit popping in at an unexpected time in the video to promote Yorkshire tea

0:18 That's just the Vasari Titan from Sins of a Solar Empire.

Thank you for your video. I like the idea of juggernaut as a show of power

Magashipyard in a nutshell: Need ships? Not any more. Fallen empire declared war on you? Not a problem

Well I didn't initially realise the benefit of the FTL cool down reductions as the juggernaut is slow sub-light so it seemed stupid to travel with it, but that explains why ships set to follow are left behind it, when they are faster. It presumably has this ability itself without the aura. The jump drive penalty reduction is really useful, I have noticed before some fleets were less badly affected by jump penalties, but the game hides why (apart from psi-drives).

I needed this ship two campaigns ago, it was brutal.

Juggernaut is just two Titans stuffed together

Its litterally Snokes flagship from the last jedi and I am actually really onboard with it

Instantly subbed when he thanked spiff for the Yorkshire tea

and how do you build the [mega] shipyard, the icon on the construction ship display is just yellow and isn't doing nothing

How do I unlock the research for it? I have researched citadels and battleships but it doesnt appear in the research menu

I don't wanna fiddle with every 20 stations i get each hour, so this seems neat.

They need to add more capital ships or ships in general. They can add super battleships, interdictor ships, raid ships(to steal damaged ships), fighters(with skin packs), salvage ships (ships that go into the system after a battle and give you Materials) and stealth recon ships.

This is the unholy fusion of the Supremecy and a Triglavian World Ark. Guess you can just raze any stations you come upon when you send the murderdeathfleet after that empire that looked at you funny.

Going to be interesting with the NSC and Kurogane Mod which already has Super Carriers, Dreadnoughts and the Flagship itself which is crazy insane with Titan class weapons, carrier capability and more Flak than one can shake a stick with

I say Juggernaut is mainly going to be a Roleplay tool, just to add to the flavor of people's games, no true reason to make it for conquest or anything.

I had a game once I had several citadel stations with full shipyards some where captured from other empires I conquered but if I wanted to build a full fleet it only took about 5 or 6 months in game to build a full fledged fleet, that same game I was fighting a 6 front war against the rather stupid ai and was actually wining against a large federation. Losses where irrelevant as I could replace any losses in short time, also my empire had a vast gateway network which also freed up allot of resources that would be used in preventing space piracy. Something the ai doesn't do and uses allot of their fleet power battling piracy.

12:52, i like this type of content, you may continue this path.

Need some sort of inter-system artillery piece, that can fire one system (increased by research) that causes deviation to world's, and can target anything larger than a titan It would be cool if it was built similar to habitats aswell.

Very nice another content but did they do something with game performance?

We need to tell paradox to make a RTS ground version of battles. Like you zoom in on a battlefield to fight. This would make the game go up M A S S I V E L Y

This is gonna be monstrous when paired with the gigastructure mod lol

I'm researching this rare tech now I'm so excited

For the orbital bombardment, you forget that you have to bombard infested worlds and the sterilization hubs, so maybe that is why you take that module

Has anybody else noticed that, with a few mods, you can now recreate Homeworld in Stellaris?

Fanatic Purifiers will love the Juggernaut! Haha makes clensing planets that have been contaminated by filthy xenos so much quicker with a +30%

A juggernaught with the ECM module in the middle of a rapid-response fighter/missile fleet? I like this concept...

lol at the spiff tea comment. Does the man have a lifetime supply of tea? That's a good friend to know.

I use the Juggernaut from time to time to protect the L-Cluster, just as an adition to 1 fleet and citadel, just because it is a strong strategic point from where you can distribute other fleets quickly and if I have my Mega Shipyard close to an L-Gate, but that is the only idea I ever had for this ship.

The megashipyard could be a really interesting way of changing up how militaries are structured throughout the course of the game - if you can shit out a megafleet in under a year, why not build a fleet wayyy above your fleet capacity, go into deficit for a war, then as soon as the war is over, decomission most of your fleet? Basically this means that 1000 years later, militaries have come full circle; from CKII raising levies and dismissing at the end of a war, EU4/Victoria 2 having standing armies, HOI4 semi-permanent volunteer/conscripted armies, stellaris permanent fleets and then later on fleet levies late game that are decomissioned at the end of a war.

I think the reason for the Juggernaut existing is that you can stay on the offense longer. You won't need to retreat for reinforcements or rely on the ships making it through multiple star systems without being interrupted, since you can just build more on the spot.

These are very useful for countering attrition on distant battlefields (especially during the endgame crisis, buying time for the other surviving members’ fleets to come and give the unbidden a good spanking). It’d be so anticlimactic if they spawned near all my fleets

Personally the Juggernaut plays to my favorite style of warfare prolonged front-line combat. Really I always put regenerative hulls on my ships so that they can keep going as I push into my enemies territory. Now with the Juggernaut I can build ships on the front. Also finally allows to make fully nomadic nomads once Federations come out.

Strike craft need a SERIOUS buff. In concept I like them alot. In practice they don't do anything at all seemingly.

If it has two shipyards on it, would that mean it can upgrade on the spot/ repair?

I want to put my space emperor on the helm of the juggernaut and let him use it as his personal holiday yacht.

Now we can have fights over super massive shipyards, just like starwars!

I found something to finally call the THICC BOI
