All Steam has going for it over Impulse is that it is established. Every other aspect,

Reply to TEC Carriers FTW!! in Strategy Sins Forums

no worries at all :) Interesting perspective - TEC should lose the battle, all things being equal, because it can afford to replace its ships where the other races can't. This might need a buff then, because when I play as Vasari TEC is usually spending all that money to buy my crystal :P

[quote]Furthermore the 1.1 patch was about making balanced fleets and your saying QQ if i make an unbalanced fleet i loose[/quote] Kruppe, what are you talking about? Look at the original post. No one is talking about making unbalanced fleets. I am trying (with your help?) to figure out how to make a balanced TEC fleet that stands a chance against a balanced Advent or Vasari fleet - specifically without relying too much on capital ships...

Nice constructive roundup, Jinx. It sounds like you want deep gameplay without removing accessibility - [quote]In order for a game to be embraced by the hardcore competitive folk, the game needs to have features which allow people to really "GET GOOD" at the game. In other words, the distance between a 'noob' and a 'pro' should be a near endless chasm. That said, the game doesn't need to be noob-unfriendly, although it will often degenerate into that unless the noobs can pr

[quote who="EadTaes" reply="1" id="1971894"]Well it realy depends on your oppenents and if you get tehre before them or not. Soemtime just 20 fighters will do but otehr times you need to ahve only that and rely on your combabt ships to kill the enemy fleet. Also gettign a few flaks is always good 10 to 20 is what you want no mroe then that or it is just wasted supply. Unless your vasari, then you can spam flak frigs like mad. Untill your opent out spams you with light frigates. [/

TEC Carriers FTW!! in Strategy Sins Forums

So I'm trying to figure out how TEC fits in the 1.1 game. Yes their capships have useful abilities (please don't marzabait on me) but where do TEC fit into a carrier race? Can we come up with a scenario where TEC wins a carrier battle against matched Advent or Vasari without Cap abilities? I'm thinking a 30 minute fleet with legs would be 15 carriers (all fighters), 15-20 LRM (reserved for cap killing), 40 Cobalts (carrier-killers), and 20 or more Ho

Reply to Tip: when you are losing carriers vs. carriers case..... in Strategy Sins Forums

As Vasari, I supplement my carrier fleet with MARZA! O wait this isn't the marzabaiting thread.... But yeah, if you spammed carriers only and still lost the strikecraft battle maybe you should consider at least a minimal diversity of 2 light frigates for every carrier you build for your next fleet. Unless he's got a huge number of bombers or light frigates and as long as I have other ships I'll keep the carriers in the gravwell - better than the AM hit.

Lillith is old-school desert religion. She was Adam's first wife. They bickered because she claimed she was equal rather than subordinate. She ran off, wouldn't go back even to save her children from God's wrath, and mothered a whole bunch of monsters and demons, the Lillim. Adam wouldn't stop whining, so then God hooked up Eve, who was supposed to respect Adam's authoriteh

Woah, Servo delivers the goods too. Thanks TBO.. The way my work network filter is set up I can access Stardock forums but not GPG. Is there any way GPG devs could update here at the same time they update over there? Or maybe e-mail it to Stardock reps and mods and they could just have a post titled GPG Forums Demigod Updates or something.... It might save some speculation, since I'm sure I'm not the only one behind a filter
