Raging, this may sound like a dumb question to you (and for all I know, it probably is a dumb question), but what's the big deal about smurfing, anyway? Note that this isn't a "smark alleck" question, it's just a polite, honest question. I truly want to know the issues involved, what kinds of problems it creates, yadda yadda. Perhaps you can explain it?

Hey, *fantastic* Deceiver_0! Did you get it all out of your system, or is there more? Feel free to vent more of that toxicity that's in your soul - I'm listening. I'm here for you, pal. This guy seems to have run into the exact same stuff I've witnessed online (you'll have to read down a ways, past all his comments about spam). Perhaps you can enlighten him to your point of view.

SpardaSon21, it is actually far far worse than what is portrayed on this thread. I have another thread that was prematurely shut down that you can see - Assholes of a Solar Empire - and I had so many names to put on that list that never got on that you wouldn't believe. My email box was overflowing with submissions. Furthermore, I continue to witness severe assholery online every night - far, far more than with any other game I've ever seen. You really have no clue how

The problem is the halcyon bombers. 2 halyons walz into my homeworld 30 seconds after game starts and there is nothing I can do. I starbase... well of course it dies instantly to bombers. I attack with my capship, of course it dies to bombers. I produce another colonizer capship so I can just run away and colonize a roid somewhere and survive, it is chased down in the next grav well and it dies. Meanwhile I have snuck another sb onto his homeworld, and he just ta

Well let me ask some of the experts about this? I've been getting hit with a TON of halcyon spammers lately. In fact, every game I've had the last few nights, if they were an advent opponent, they were spamming halcyons with a 2 halcyon start, one built right after the other, with more to follow. Now, I tried to counter this with the vasari skirantra, but my results were lackluster. So this brings me to my question. In that last patch or two, they buffed capshi

Just read some more of your posts. If you don't like spam, and don't like mindless play, you are in the wrong multiplayer online game. All I see online is spam and mindless play, and I've played the game online since it came out. Most people run "scripts" or "programs." Not literal computer scripts or programs. I suppose what I want to say is, most of the "skilled" people you will run into online are playing by a script. In other words, they know exactly

Actually, if you want a nice gaming experience, you should do the contrary to what some people are telling you and STAY THE HELL AWAY FROM 5v5 pugs. The quality of competition is good in the 5v5 pugs. The level of sportsmanship and quality of personhood isn't. You won't have any fun sitting in a room for an hour waiting for it to fill up, only to be booted by the host as the game starts because you don't have a recognized name, or aren't one of his butt-buddies he likes to

I guess I could show you the replay, but since you are one of the top players in the game (I hear), I hesitate to do it as you will no doubt find flaws in my game everywhere (my game is at a level below yours). At any rate, I guess the point is, look at all the stuff you had to write, and all the pro techniques you have to pull off, in order to beat this thing. Sure, I have zero doubt that you can do it. But what about everybody else? It's an imbalanced strat, meanin

I guess this is now the main advent script of choice, because an advent player started right next to me, and rushed me with two halcyons. I starbased, it was destroyed almost instantly. Then he killed my capship. Meanwhile, I snuck a starbase over to his homeworld, where he promptly went over and destr

Okay I'm tired of running into all the seeker/disciple with halcyon crap online. So I decided to go multiple kols with flak burst to try to counter the damn bombers from the halcyons (if you go fighers, they just get bitchslapped). So I get online, knowing that the first random person I play will choose advent and use this strat. Sure enough, I do 1v1, and that's exactly what happened. (Boy, I'm just waiting for the day when someone decides to use an original strat rat

[quote]thats the thing. i think their rationale was: well, Advent excel in SC, so their carrier should be rolled out sooner.[/quote] That's fine - nothing wrong with giving a particular faction an advantage in a particular area. Thing is though, it's still screwed - tier 1 lf counter the tier 2 (and 3) carrier. Tier 1 lf counter tier 2 flak. On and on. Normally you'd want counters to a unit being on the same tier or higher, not lower. There are exceptions
