I had some of the same issues with the AI over using the Novaliths. Yes, you can counter them with a Starbase and Aux govt. but it does get old after a while hearing the same comment over and over as they fire that thing at you. I would prefer an option to disable super Weapons, if possible.

[quote who="JohnJames" reply="12" id="3103214"]I stopped a Level 1 Loyal Titan numerous times with just a SB, and I've killed them by draining their am and a fleet, no titan [/quote] Exactly, the Titan is not the end all weapon in this game, yes its is a very powerful weapon. but it can be countered with a heavily defended Starbase and a small fleet backing it up with repair yards. I know, I had my ass kicked by this same type of scenario recently.
OK, nice. I did look into the Known issues of Yarlens and did not set this listed there. Maybe it should be. Thanks guys,
I agree, stop trying to Nerf it and stop trying to keep people who want to build it fast. Its equal across the board, if one player can do it. then so can the other players. Its not unbalanced. to me, having a Titan early will keep those who like mass building frigates and trying to rush you. The Titan is the great equalizer. and I like it this way. Again, this is a matter of choice for each player. you either decide to build the Titan or you don't. Sto

[quote who="felikey" reply="1" id="3103053"]I agree that the pirates and rebels showing up automatically is a problem. Numerous times the approach I've taken is to suicide them in an enemy system, which, due to the pirate abilities, is actually very useful for gaining more credits. Yet sometimes they're more effective than I mean them to be and they don't actually die. Having a toggle switch, perhaps on the main screen, to turn this on and off, would be very very helpful. <br

Its like a reward system. you pre-order our game and we let you play and t
I haven't seen anything really posted on this yet. so here it is. I have played several games now against the AI with friends and after taking removing all Alien influence from a world by destroying his structures and the planet pop. the Culture is not detracting from the world. its staying constant. This even happens when you have a fleet of Cap-ships in the gravity well which is supposed to remove the Alien influance, this also causes you to not be able to take over

[quote who="NeoOnyx" reply="3" id="3101003"] Quoting boshimi336, reply 2 I have a suspicion (unconfirmed) that Titans originally were larger as the Titan Foundry seems disproportionately larger compared to the Titans being built. Larger ships end up having very difficult path finding issues more often the bigger they get. I think in general the sizing isn't too bad. I agree...the Titan Foundry would need to be resized. I was expecti
[quote who="Yottsu" reply="2" id="3100390"] 1. what I think would be a cool feature: -specialise the titans to their faction's play-style ie make the loyalist titan stronger in friendly territory and make the rebel titan stronger in enemy territory. The loyalist titan does get a boost to one of its abilities while inside of a friendly gravity well - Furious Defenses. Do not forget, the two factions also get to research some faction specific techs as well. For example
[quote who="Seleuceia" reply="121" id="3100310"] Quoting Darksxx, reply 118 that is the beauty about choice's. each player makes their choice how you counter it is entirely up to each player. It isn't a "choice" when the only way to win is to rush build your titan....and it isn't a "choice" when the only counter to a titan is another titan of comparable level...I see people saying things like "Titans can be killed, I just kil
Yes, make it a much bigger explosion. kind of like the one the Starbases had with the Balknights Explosions had. Super nova!!
[quote who="Timmaigh" reply="110" id="3100157"]So, what is general consensus, if there is one? That Ragnarov is okayish - therefore destructable, but Ankylon is OP? [/quote] The only thing I can actually agree with that Ankylon Titan is OP is the fact that when it is combined with a fleet. the Disable ability does make this ship very hard to kill along with Armistice that the AI will use on you. This is the only thing that makes this ship OP
[quote who="DirtySanchezz" reply="103" id="3099989"] Quoting noobcaek, reply 46 You could always push back their deployment by changing the titan factory from using tactical slots to logistics slots. As it is currently you can whack the factory pretty much anywhere. Having it take up logistics slots would make it more of a choice, as you'd be possibly sacrificing trade ports/labs, and it would also make it take slightly longer to get a titan as you'd need m
[quote who="sporemaster" reply="96" id="3099849"]personally i like the idea that if your titan dies it keeps the experience cause if your enemy has a high level titan you will never be able to get your titan back up to the level you had it (or it would be EXTREMLY hard to do) [/quote] I can comment on this because I lost mine, just because you get all of your points back does not make this a bug or out of balance. if your titan dies at Lv 3 and you rebu

[quote who="Teun-A-Roonius" reply="7" id="3098145"]You do know that they nerfed the Novalith cannon...right? Yesterday one of my asteroids got hit by a Novalith Warhead and I didn't lose control of it. I did have a Shield Generator around the planet, so maybe that does actually have influence. I'm not sure though. [/quote] I wasn't aware that those did actually prtect your planets. The only state that they protect against incoming damage from ships. I
Ill add that the Pirates can be naturalized pretty quickly and not by using a Titan. Build a Novalith Cannon and blast the Pirate Base. no more threat. Pirates naturalized. And I have seen this done first hand so yes it is possible.
[quote who="KL3MZ" reply="2" id="3097985"]yep, some people told me the same after i killed their titan, it kept its level, i don't think thats good, kind of defeats the point of killing titan (exept for the cost ... witch isnt so much once you have the techs and the factory) Also, 15min to get a titan is a real problem for mp, even if the titan wasen't invulnerable, i think its too easy Then again, you're right about the ma
[quote who="RonLugge" reply="1" id="3097772"] There's no hope of winning a game if you can not defend against the Novalith Cannon. Auxiliary government SB upgrade.. [/quote] That is a lame option. and its not very viable. Also you fail to understand that the Novalith is being spammed to death. the AI built 15 of them. that's unacceptable.
OK, I got my first taste to playing the Rebels against the Loyalist on Cruel Aggressor tonight and it was very disapointing. The Novalith needs to be toned down, the AI just kept building these and spam firing them. It was rather rediculous actually. There's no hope of winning a game if you can not defend against the Novalith Cannon. I would suggest that the Shielding you can research and put around a planet have the ability to also block shots from the cannon to
