Jesus man, where do the assholes in this community come from? Why do you keep attacking me out of the blue? I already told you I didn't play you, and that wasn't my game, but just for the sake of argument, WHY THE HECK DOES IT MATTER? And why the heck do you need a replay? I said I couldn't build repair because he took out the builder. But either way, WHAT THE HELL DOES REPAIR HAVE TO DO WITH MY POINT THAT VASARI CAPS ARE OUTMATCHED AGA

[quote]Have you tried a kortul?Even 2 kortuls since you had a 2v1 there?A level 2 or 3 kol will be pretty nasty against a sova.Eliminating its am or disabling sc while it heals itself and deals good damage to the sova.A kortul and a skirantra would be awesome as well.[/quote] I tried Kortuls in a test last week against Advent Halcyons. I told my opponent to come with Halcyons before the game started (which he usually does anyway). The Kortuls were crushed by the bombers even tho

[quote]one more thing the sova is a combat cap, it is designed to do tonnes of dmg. the skinantra is a support cap as all of its abilities focus on helping the fleet. the argument about caps should be able to beat each other is not valid, because different caps have different rolls, the sova is ment to deal dmg, the skinantra is ment to have an unkillible SC presence.[/quote] [quote]Thats what I was trying to say.As fleets grow the sova becomes less and less effe

[quote]The above are with absolutely no fleet support, but if you brought in even a single Sentinel, you could easily defeat their fighters.[/quote] No, if you get to bring in something, he gets to bring in something too. Let's keep the tests simple, no need to complicate them - your capship of choice (vasari) vs. his sova (tec). That's what this is really about. I think there is NO capship the vasari can field that will beat his sova and defend your roid. Yo

But design obviously makes sense to me, because it is a known cause (the only known cause) for complex machines. You can witness design every day. No one disputes that machines come about through design. So we have a known cause (the only known cause) which I can see every day and witness first hand wi

[quote]The Skirantra is a very powerful ship, and I've yet to come across any evidence that it is disadvantaged against a Sova.[/quote] Well I provided my experience. If you are skeptical, try it yourself. Put a lone skirantra against a lone sova (both the same level). Have the sova attack your roid. Try to drive him off with your skirantra. Report your results back here - I want to see them. [quote]As well as repair cloud, the level 6 ability is

[quote]You basically have built in an axiom of sorts, kind of like how physics in essence has 'made up' the law of thermodynamics.

I didn't just arbitraily up and decide to declare some "truth" to myself one day (design). Evolution simply doesn't make any sense to me. I've studied it as much as an

I admit that I haven't tried it, so I'm just talking out of my ass here until I do, but I really do think that egg+skirantra gets owned by dual sovas, because a single skirantra can only make 3 or so fighters. This means he will counter your fighters with fighters from one cap, and go bombers with the other cap, and you'll lose. And we have already established that even dual skirantra heal will not overcome dps of a single sova, so you can't rely on heal for anything. A sing

DesConner, that wasn't my game. Now I have to go see one of my girlfriends :-) (busy busy) but I will upload my game tommorrow. To everyone recommending a kortul, sounds good in theory, that's why I tried it in several tests last week against a player nice enough to donate some of his time and play advent against me. A single kortul gets slaughtered against a single halcyon, a dual kortul gets slaughtered against dual halcyons, that's WITH both of them having jam wea

Okay, hypothetical situation. I construct you a map - two starting terrans, with a roid in the middle. Two players of equal skill. You play vasari. The other guy plays TEC. He even tells you what he's coming with up front - a one sova start, or a two sova start. What are you gonna build to counter him and contest the roid? Even TWO skirantras will have to retreat from one sova, so skirantras are out. But you build any other cap, it gets slaugh

First off, I wish you'd tell all the players I play against that spamming two of the same caps is pointless, because that's all I ever see (2 halcyons, 3 halcyons, 4 halcyons, 2 sovas, 3 sovas, 4 sovas, etc.).

Just finished a game against a TEC on a small map. I was vasari. What's the best early answer for vasari to halcyons or sovas? Near as I can tell, skirantras, so I built 2. Game starts. We both pick up a couple of roids, and meet in the middle at my asteroid. He attacked my asteroid with a single sova, backed by a couple of cobalts. Went straight for the roid, started bombing it. I already had my 2 skirantras there, so they attacked his sova.&

[quote]Wrong, and that's where you prove you don't understand science.

Bottom line, I don't feel as if the burden of proof is on me to "disprove" an unproven theory. The burden of p
