I can see silent pings from enemies. Starbases don't upgrade with Alloy on. With Alloy on, you get serious +/- cash and resource fluxuations and can buy when you are in the red. You can also start research and build structures in the red with Alloy on. I have noticed that if you have a cap ship and some frigates that you give an order to jump, the frigates sometimes don't get the command. At first I thought it was me, but after it happened a few times, I

Yeah, you put a Vasari mine layer at the sun and you can coat the whole sun with mines in no time. Mines are OP.
[quote]It's not a bug. Directing a ship to move to an uncolonized planet directs it to colonize that planet.[/quote] This IS A BUG, and I have already reported it. It's absolutely annoying and it NEVER happened before Entrenchment.

I am starting to hate work...I need to stop reading these posts at work. How am I supposed to get anything done now?
it's up. join in.
Login in people, ICO is back online.
Actually, they are probably working on it. However, this is the longest it has ever been down.
To follow what Cykur is saying, the vasari have the advantage of grabbing up neutrals with their scouts. However, their scouts cost more (it is the ONLY scout that requires metal to build) and it takes up 3 fleet supply instead of 2. It is also the WEAKEST scout. 1v1 against either an advent or TEC scout and the vasari scout will die.
[quote]From that I'd say 20-30 cobalts max, if you see your opponent going carriers, then start pulling out some other ship types.[/quote] If your fleet has carriers with fighters and LFs (e.g., cobalts), and your opponent keeps bringing in carriers, then keep pumping out LFs. The carriers you have will keep his SC busy and your LFs will roast the carriers; why build anything else (except [quote]the HOSHIKO(TM)[/quote])? PS. Cykur, you're my hero. Because ICO
I now know why despite siddy's crazy side, I enjoy having him in our clan.
@ kyro v1.12 replays do not work in v1.12. This was true in v1.1 and v1.11. I don't know about SP, but no MP replay shows what happened. The chat logs are great, but it will not show what worlds are occupied or fleet movements. If you need more elaboration or replay files, take a look at my other postings about this problem in previous versions. In those threads, I included replay files for you to look at (and apparently haven't). <a href="https:/
yep, it's happening again.
Replays Still Don't Work In v1.12
Did I mention ICO hates me...perhaps because I use Alloy...I don't know...but I am really starting to get frustrated.
Played 2 games tonight. Finished 1, but two guys got a disconnected from ICO message. They also got dropped from the game (unlike previous version's disconnect message). I go the disconnected from ICO message in the other game, and didn't even know I wasn't playing with my friends until I tried /f chat. ICO is broken...
I concur that ICO is down and there is a serious bug about available games not showing. I figured out a bypass, but ICO prompty went down.
Another item that will help your carriers out is researching better AM regen rates and storage capacity. Not only will it help your carrier fleet, but it will help your anti-SC cap ships (especially jam weapons, flak burst, tele push) as well as every other cap ship. Also, researching the anti-AM abilities for LFs are a MUST now.
Actually, beyond Siddy's smurf, there is still ADT rhetoric on ICO. There are quite a few people that if you join their game with a DT tag, they will either boot your promptly or say "no DT" and then boot you. You ask them what DT ever did to them and they either don't respond or they say we stack the teams.
Yeah, I think DT would be up for this. Where's CoN been though?
OK. But still, you could hav just said "Hey guys, join my clan. We have a structure and here's how to identify yourself on ICO. PM me if you are interested in joining. A weblink will be up shortly."
I never knew that the game would start if a v1.12 wannabe (but still has v1.11) joined a v1.12 game. What I normally see happen is idiots who can't read the title to my game (which says something like v1.12 beta ONLY 4v4) join but then stay in the game lobby and don't get assigned a player position. Then, when you click start, the same idiots are stuck in the game lobby and no one is there to answer their "wtf?".
Who has time to post crap like this?

It turns out that Shalom posted right above me, so you might want to PM him. As for JohnJames, I have no idea. I mostly just know people from their online screenname.
