[quote]If someone is 2-3 jumps away and you did not upgrade your HW immediately, the apppropriate time to upgrade it is when their HW is on fire and the broken hull of their flagship is a now an art deco monument to your everlasting glory proudly on display at your Homeworld's capital.[/quote] Nice. Cykur, FTW in more ways than one.

Reply to [balance suggestion]Fighters damage vs Caps in Strategy Sins Forums

I Disagree with the 150%->200% LF vs Heavy Armor. Just increase DPS by 200% for LFs. Each LF has half the DPS of an LRF, which is gay sauce if you ask me. EDIT: I meant 100%. 200% would be sweet.

Make your own decision if you want to. If replays start working, I will post them as they become available, as I mentioned before. Unfortuately, there won't be any replays to post for people already on the list.

Or just a blatant DPS increase. I have been maintaining that LFs counter carriers, and I still do. However, I have come to realize that when faced with an LRF with 20 DPS and 75% or an LF with 10 DPS and 150%, I have to build one of each. Those LFs are just too fragile against LRFs, and if your opponent is good, he will have plenty of LRFs to counter your LF spam. The only thing that makes me still buy the LF is that fighters/bombers only deal 50% d

Reply to Race Balance at Different Game Stages for 1.12 in Strategy Sins Forums

I haven't played a lot of advent, but one thing I have noticed is that they have arguably the best LF ability in the game. Not only can it STEAL antimatter, but it can restore that antimatter to any of your ships. This is extremely useful. While I agree that TEC has some awesome abilities, it is hard to keep using them. Flak burst is a large drain on the AM. I will also say that cobalts get teh 2nd best LF ability in the game. Vasari have the toughe

What really sucks is when it is a dead end (like above) and you acidentally send your cap there. There's about a 90% chance it won't be able to jump out.

Reply to Sieges - Does anyone even use them online? in Strategy Sins Forums

[quote]Finally...Siege does not have heavy armor...it has LIGHT armor !!!! Use fighters to kill them, not bombers. Turrets work just fine too...I'm just commenting on the people who were recommending bombers vs siege.[/quote] While this is true, I suggest picking bombers for colonizing. Generally, neutrals have flak frigates and the bombers are much more resistant to flak. For planet defense, I agree 100%, fighters are the way to go.

Reply to Cap ships - do they suck or what? in Strategy Sins Forums

Completely agree with Cykur. The Tele Push/Flak Burst/Jam Weapons/Repair Cloud will greatly tip the scales when engaging with carrier spammers. Having air superiority is a must, and 1 cap (50 fleet points) can basically nullify 100's of fleet points worth of carriers if managed properly. Another item to note is that if you are buying another cap, it is often VERY worthwhile to buy at least to level 2. Each level gives you better abilities, hull points, armor, dps, and
