scouts are nice for rushing in and taking out their super expensive structure like novaliths... not so effective against RA because once you get your gates up, you have oodles of cash. I forgot to mention that HuntingX also had colonized the most planets so he really did have oodles of cash.

[quote]I didn't play the game, I have no info on it... yet let me point something out: scouts cost a mere fraction of a phase gate or lab, and can be built in mere seconds.[/quote] The problem with that argument is that when a vasari player gets RA and has multiple phase gates, money isn't an issue any longer. All he'd spend money on at that point is research and getting fleet size upgrade. For him to have to rebuild 1 or 2 labs isn't a big deal. Keep in mind that 10 scouts

Indeed, Vanechka. Maybe I'll try explaining it differently why it's imbalanced... In a normal game, assuming no player is rushing tech and they are consistently attacking each other, both players' technologies will improve as the game goes by. The difference is, the Vasari player's end game tech is an I-WIN button. The other races, do not have such a tech. Stopping them from getting the tech altogether is not a counter and it's not even always viable to do so. Peopl

no no, cast malice BEFORE you cast brilliance. Malice button first. Cleansing button second. From my tests, one case some ships got damaged, in the other case they were not. They also had the exact same formation and all variables were constant (both situations were loaded form a save file). I should also add that I've also tested it's propagation onto structures and that also works. edit: I just saw your false positive comment. I'll have to test more to see how much dama

it definately works. I've tested in single player. I saved right before I fired off my malice and brilliance. The first test was without malice. The second was reloaded and tested again with malice. There was a very very noticable difference. So noticable in fact, that I managed to kill a computer on unfair mode using just 2 motherships and 3 radiances (and no other units at all, except to defend against annoying siege frigate spam)

Uh-oh, did you hear that? It's OFFICIAL! Itharus is officially tired of people crying about RA, as opposed to what I can only assume was unofficially before. Itharus, did you even bother reading the thread? People aren't simply complaining about RA because they lost to it; they're complaining, giving suggestions, and identifying what's broken about it. In your extremely long winded post, you ramble on without ever touching on the key points of imbalance on RA. The fact is

Personally, I think the timer is a nice option as well. The only thing I'm against regarding setting up a timer is the opportunity cost to implement it. I'd prefer the devs focus on game balance before adding any bells and whistles.

However, also consider that strikecraft are out of flak range for the majority of the time and that carriers continue to build them even when shot down.
