[quote who="SpardaSon21" reply="45" id="3221601"]I don't know why RiddleKing is bothering to post anything right now. Phase missiles>everything else is an obvious conclusion since when fully-upgraded they bypass shield mitigation 30% of the time. Ilum vs. Assailant wasn't part of the discussion until he posted it as part of some "Advent are the best race" agenda he has going on.[/quote] its not accurate thats why Focus fire

[quote who="bilun" reply="43" id="3221578"]What part of the thing you quoted has anything to do with the assailant Illum matchup? Besides which you're making the comparison between beams & phase missiles entirely based on one class of ships, LRM, which becomes obsolete late game once titans start gettting leveled up regardless.[/quote] The only argument you could have said is how do you explain having to deal with phase missiles from
[quote who="bilun" reply="41" id="3221563"]The topic is that fully teched phase missiles kill ships faster while thier targets have shield points left then when their targets have 0 shields left due to shield mitigation only being applied to shield-piercing damage once shields hit 0.[/quote] Im telling you now that illums first 2 shots is mitigated at 15% before the third which is mitigated higher Assailants first shot is mitigated at 15% but the second sh
Bilun-shield mitigation is not part of the shield system. All ships have 4 defenses : Hull points Shield Points Armor Shield Mitigation: Shield mitigation is present when shields points are 0. Shield mitigation decreases the amount of damage from all attacks regardless of source. Shield mitigation starts at 15% but with advent culture techs this usually becomes 17% for their ships in the e
[quote who="bilun" reply="8" id="3208290"]That said, I maintain changes should be handled very carefully. The Advent Rebels are in a rather starnge place balance-wise. They don't really have a strong foundation built on a large number of useful tech so much as they have two absolute bombs which make them competitive.[/quote] you've never played masteria1's advent. wail is too difficult to understand because currently any ad

i was about to copy paste japanese but it failed- trolling in another language requires i install new fonts. Its a Shame...
$30 dollars for an upgrade is ok, $28 would have been better but i ain't complaining.. The annoying part for me will always be the fact that this games engine uses one cpu core for that price. but of-course its understandable that there trying to cover there marketing costs on top of everything else.

Is there a maximum ping allowed to see players or join games on ICO? In either case these should be 2 different things in terms of restrictions.

They neglected to do the following "Players can play the Vasari Rebels vs the Ai in the single player mode and have the ability to use Starbase Mobilization" "This feature is disabled in multiplayer games" The reason being because they thought the VR would loose their fundamental gameplay advantage. The bad: They do not want to nerf the crap out of this starbase to make

I prefer level 6 halcyons at the edge of gravity wells spamming over hundred Squads of bombers with their ultimate ability while supportef by a rapture with concentration aura. Caps do counter titans guys and can escape gravity wells with a click of a button if the ragnorv is chasing them.

Why a Multiplayer only free to play game works: You can verify the games validity and cd key You can drive ads to it throughout the day Each player online becomes a source of revenue by creating traffic in viewing online content and visiting other sins websites.

Pay to win is free to play, Either spend money on a titan or a soda and fries. Your telling me that you can't afford it? The problem only arises by the medium of purchase. Some people don't have credit cards and bank accounts. When you talk about the deliverence engine then your talking about balance patches. ofc we can go as far as custom paint jobs, logos and planet types. <p

It wont fail and the trick is making the game playable on the free package vs premium packages. E.g you can still build a mother ship and fleet composed of frigates to defeat heavy cruisers and titans through the use of carriers. You can further extend carriers with purchasable squadrons. Utility cruisers like Subverters, Command Cruisers and Subjugators are also purchasable content. The game must be playable t

[quote quoting="post"] I'd been meaning to run some tests on The Stilakus Subverter ever since the Fiasco with Advent culture techs causing all weapons to have a shield bypass chance since Shield disruption uses the same modifer and syntax as the bugged version of the advent culture techs. Tonight I finally got around to it and lo & behold I was right. Shield Disruption gives ALL weapon types 20% shield bypass chance- not just phase missiles.<b
Theres actually an hoshiko strategy either than just spamming them with other frigates and cruisers? Lord have mercy.. Quick Question: Whose not building Hoshikos, Guardians and Overseers. If your not then you need a strategy for each 1. I love you guys.. just mix your eggs with baken, tommatoes and peppers even. Just mix it up and you'll do just fine on the battlefield. <
