Reply to A very, very funny fact about Vasari capital ships in general. in Strategy Sins Forums

[quote who="JuleTron" reply="5" id="2122529"]Vasari's isn't about pure weapons, but about their ability to manuever their forces and run away when a superior force shows up. One of their capitals (the egg) is even described to be a flying city, hardly a military ship Every race has a civilian cap ship (Akkan, mother ship). Whats your point? Lore wise, the Vasari might be running away, but they have been rebuilding their empire in Trader Space. They are still slavers and

[quote who="markarian" reply="5" id="2127998"]Speaking of the empire tree. sometimes it gets full, and then starts jumping up and down, as fleets enter and exit phase space. This can make micoring in the tree very hard sometimes. I will often want to apply an ability and the target has 8 other ships around it so I target into the empire tree. But when it jumps around bad things can happen. Is there any way to freeze the empire tree so it won't move one me. [/

Actualy, the EA has quite impressive long range firepower ever since they rolled out the omega class Destroyers. The Combo turrets on the sides of the hangar section feature long ranged particle beams and a second burst type fire mode. usualy the ships will switch between burst fire and particle beam, burst fire basicly keeping the barrel busy while the particly beam charges for the next shot. Aside from that b5 nerd rant: you shoul

[quote who="Tamren" reply="6" id="2126952"]Quoting Darvin3, reply 3 to get the most out of the skill you really have to go in and target stuff manually. That's true of almost every ability in the game. The auto-cast AI isn't very good, so you really have to be ready to manage manually. If you aren't ready to do that, the ability is largely worthless. That said, if the AI is too stupid for a human to rely on it. It also means the AI is too stupid to be a reliab

[quote who="EadTaes" reply="16" id="2125714"]Quoting Levelheaded, reply 15 Err.... so wrong. Having the radiance in the fleet does not add anything to either the radiance nor the fleet. it will however limit the radiance mobility as everytime you issue orders to your fleet, the radiance will veer off trying to follow that order, most likely ruining that perfect lineup it just did to cb the crap outa things. Theres no need to do anything "very

Reply to Mazara vs. Desolator in Strategy Sins Forums

WALL OF TEXT! (Jump the bottom if you simply want to read the proposal itself) There was nothing hard about malice and cb. Line up your radiance to hit several targets and hit them with malice before it is about to fire. easy. easy back then, easy now. And Malice wasn't needed to be level 3 either, and isnt realy needed to be level 3 now, although its preferable. If you want to rebalance mb, you need to re-evaluate the TEC capitals allt

Reply to Cleansing Brilliance/Malice combo in Strategy Sins Forums

1.) As Malice is omni directional, always cast it after you see your radiance lining up. requires only minimal learning. 2.) Aim for carriers/caps preferably, they take the whole cb volley 3.) For added effect, try to at least hit 2 targets with the beam that are under the effect of malice. effectivly doubles malice damage. 4.) Have your radiance OUTSIDE of your main fleet. do not include it. let it roam freely. it will increase its mobility a lot and lets you use cb f

Reply to Mazara vs. Desolator in Strategy Sins Forums

Honestly: you should have both a radiance and a marauder in either advent or vasari fleets for many reasons aside interrupting a marza. Why? The radiance is a decent crowdcontrol tool and pair up good with all other advent ships, the antimatter burn is a long term disruptive ability that is effective even if left at level 1. Cleansing brilliance, while nice, is actualy not the reason you want this vessel with you. Crowdcontrol is. The marauder increases yo
