Reply to Sova, Halcyon, Skirantra - Do Capital Carriers suck or what? in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

Alright, I just remember. Many REGULAR capital ships like the Akkan, Progenitor Mothership, etc already start out with 1 Strike Craft while being able to be useful things like Colonize. All Caps are able to carry up to 2-3 SC already on their own. CAPITAL CARRIERS despite that other less specialized Carriers already carry 1 SC to begin with only start with 2 SC while being much much weaker than the other ships. How does this make sense? Also this effectively means a lv. 1-3 Capital Sh

They added a third squadron to the light carrier? Holy shit that makes carrier spam 33% more deadly and uncounterable now. Soon, anyone who isn't spamming carriers will not be able to resist the OPness of them now. It all adds to the insanity. [e digicons]:D[/e]

I want an Destroyer Class unit. It could soft counter carrier spam with Flak, and counter HCs while losing to (mass) LRF spam, and just slighty lose to capital ships. Way I see it, LRFs > LFs Carriers/SC > LRFs HCs > LRFs Carriers = Destroyers > HCs (mass) LRFs > Capital Ships > Destroyers > HCs

Reply to Is there a poll option for these threads? A method to create a general consensus. in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

Fair enough, eh well Carrier's having more HP than a Kiodiak is still wrong, only a slight 15% nerf to shields and hp would be enough! All capships do not have Anti-SC, only usually 1 can reliably hurt SC and 1 other with a marginally useful ability. I'm advocating for a "weak" Flak on most cap ships maybe equalivant to 1-2 Flak Frigates each and let the Akkan, etc ship be equal to 4-5 Flak Flak Frigates. Let capships benefit more from the hull and armor upgrades.

Not at all, if the general concensus of the SINs community believe these mentioned issues are completely fine as it is, then I'd be proven wrong. I have a strong feeling that a large part of the community does believe there are balance issues with capital ship survivalibility and Carrier/Strike Craft spam.

Well at least after several names exchanged between the two of us, there is something in common now. However, it wasn't the purest test as all three factions doesn't get Hoshikos, however in general carriers do have pretty heavy shields and hull points too already. [e digicons]8C[/e] I conducted a causal Flak test myself yesterday. Can supreme micro of Dunov's Kols and Flak Frigates alone defeat Strike Craft? It was not a 1v1 but a 3v3 but the opportunity did come up where my

Is there a poll option for these threads? A method to create a general consensus. in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

There's been a lot of debate about several imbalances in the game right now and due to the contested nature of the topic it's very hard to form a general concensus about the balance. Namely: -Capital Ship balance, should they have better survivalibilty and some type Flak capability? (Starbases included) -Flak balance, should Flak Frigates continue to be useless? should Flak receive some sort of buff? -Light Carrier/Strike Craft balance that

I and many others still mantain that Capital Ships should get some sort of "weak" Flak except for the Mothership type Capital Ship (Akkan, etc) which should get moderate Flak capabilities. The Mothership-class ships will now be very useful in mid-game battles to help with AA instead of dead -weight next to the Combat Capital Ships. I and many others mantain, it's highly unrealistic for huge expansive cap ships to not have any sort of Flak at all, even if they weren't designed to just

Maybe the best way to handle this is to not only buff flax and nerf carrier but do both. If w

Why dont we simply do a mod? Change the settings, up or down. Adjust the carriers, the strikecraft, the flaks, etc...?

All people want is to counter carriers without spamming their own carrier spam.

Capital Ships deserve Flak guns, not only because its highly highly unrealistic for ANY capital ship to not have any, but they deserve "some" weak type of Flak. In fact, its HIGHLY unrealistic for Caps to NOT have any FLAK.

Sorry man, Instantly replacable and free Strike Craft, high shielded/hull points Carriers (even more than a Kodiak btw) and the ability to jump out at anytime due to unlimited range is ruining this game. No one is nerfing the strike craft, themselves. Carrier's should cost antimatter or resources to replace Strike Craft, and we all know Capital Ships deserve som Flak and Flak in general needs to be buffed. I'm sorry you just don't see any of that.
