DesConnor you seem to forget that fighters were meant to counter Light units? such as LRF? which have shields? the main reason flak have missiles is because you arent going to be shooting at fast moving units with a wave cannon? or a pulse beam? you want 100% chance of death which is why they use phase missiles. not to mention of course thats how their special ability is used? AOE missiles..? its like typical flak today..

i like how the OP and the rest of the people in here dont like vasari.. you dont realize how horribly OP advent used to be and in some ways still is. Just because phase missiles utterly eat your holy "shield trinity" doesnt mean they are OP. there is a reason why vasari allow most of their ships to use 1 weapon type. i sincerely hope you realize that all those things up there dont balance the factions especially since most of those nerfs are vasari nerfs. th
[quote who="superfleet" reply="4" id="2641994"]i am the BEST advent eco player [/quote] Love the irony of this comment.
see what i happened to find with advent is if its early game a mass of flak will essentially stop vasari bombers since they arent in the mass needed to neutralize caps. because you have flak you then get ilums and you completely change the strategy of the vasari opponent. as advent of course.
nerf SB. longer cooldown = gg i used to remember when people would laugh at me for being vasari. and now theyre numerous. it makes me sad.
Magnetize as far as i know doesnt work. i tried it yesterday and no strikecraft were damaged by it.
[quote who="Twilight_Storm" reply="7" id="2609107"]??? Then it is BY FAR the superior ability. However, it still only protects the kortul, not the fleet unless they're RIGHT there next to it. at least the other two damage the craft for the fleet. -Twilight Storm[/quote] what are you talking about it is the superior ability..? meh sure they damage the craft for the fleet. but if you have enough flak... youll do alot more than simply
jam weapons i feel should work in a way so that once the fighters/bombers enter the bubble they cant fire, instead of how they work now ( the fighters/bombers, have to be inside the bubble already for jam weapons to work.)
that magnetize tactic sounds very interesting. last time i tried magnetize back in vanilla it didnt seem to work correctly.. but ill definitely try that. the problem with fighters is that in close fleet engagements the enemy will have flak to nullify your fighters. and your flak wont kill bombers effectively.. jam weapons is viable but the AM required for it will leave you vulnerable for a long time.. as with the kol ideas. telepush may work. if the guy hasnt already assasinated your halcyons
So i just started playing again and ive noticed the SB buff skirantras got. and it seems to me its very difficult to counter because of the fleet composition being flak kanrak and 2 or more skirantras with scramble bombers. how is one to counter this?
you do realize that that healing ability on the skirantra is worse than that of reactive nanites? id take reactive nanites over healing cloud ANY day. skirantras are all good and well. but when your skirantra is about to die i dont think you want a skirantra to heal it rather than an overseer which will even buff the armor..?
Eadtaes is well known for his view on the government. No matter which way you spin it you will always look like a "politicians boyscout" to him if you even attempt to show that the government, or anything pertaining to what you say, is irrelevant. The fact that i say we should disregard conspiracies isnt because they are false or even because they are true. it is because they do not matter anymore. what happened happened. thats that. ill be a political boyscout only if that mean
[quote who="IrationalFear" reply="86" id="2595897"]I already brought up that point. Had you given serious thought into those words, you would have actually read the thread and known that. Be informed before criticizing[/quote] i felt that since no one decided to pay you any mind that i would have a greater chance of success. which i did. you of all people did :)
Can i ask a simple question? what is the point to any of these questions? this happened 9 years ago.. 9! does this have ANY relevance to todays problems? yes the war and all that garbage but i mean really. what is the purpose in digging out old conspiracies? Just let it be. The past is past. If yesterday is done then certainly 9 years ago is buried and forgotten. We neednt worry about this today either. because its DONE. lets stop wasting forum space shall we?
Scouts reveal the mines. anything else can attack it. but flak and fighters are by far the best way to deal with mines.
Point of the matter is the people on this list have more often than not PISSED YOU OFF. no one else here would have even THOUGHT of a thread such as this. therefore its a personal vendetta against those who have "wronged" you in your sight. therefore it is bias. and therefore a bash.
lol proto. what about your "end game tendencies" ? more than once ive seen you camp behind a star based planet surrounded by the 3 end game fleets and not quit. why be a hypocrite?
Proto. get off your wagon. im BSC and the only times i go AFK are the times where something MORE IMPORTANT THAN THIS GAME has come up. and that is rarely. and even so i said i have to go or brb or something like that. ask anyone. i RARELY go AFK. this thread is a simple attack on players. you are no better than anyone of us.
ive beaten cykur before. my cap strat doesnt call for ONLY caps.. that is simply stupid. but it doesnt call for frigates.
we can 1v1 sometime. seeing as you couldnt even handle sovas i doubt anything is impossible in that sort of game..
Are you really going to sit here and tell me i have ABSOLUTELY no choice in the way i choose to play this game? i can tell you right now if i wanted to win with all caps i could. Dont sit there and talk as if you are a pro. ive seen it done before. sure its difficult but it requires a savvy player. end of story. this isnt just because of the new patch. its all about evolution. period.
There is no secret hidden mystery to this game.. its simple and straight-forward. to win you must better your opponent. how you go about it is your business. its all about counters. just because one guy builds 3 or 4 caps doesnt mean I need 5 to counter it. it just means i need CAP KILLER FRIGS. caps may have been buffed. but the only reason you see people making more of them is because of their personal preference or a strategy they have in mind involving the ship. this has nothing to do wit
Vasari are forced to rely on random chance (neuts), straight up superior play, starbase rushing, or overall just being a better strategist. its really because of the unit cost and how relatively weak the vasari units are.
im pretty sure i smash greyfox. im pretty sure you and i are even 1v1. and im pretty sure ive beaten archnemesis more than hes beaten me.
