and it can mean that you don't have to kill the base itself. you can colonize quickly and blow apart the bombing ships while they are busy with trying to get to their former base.

Reply to Irritated. You perhaps shouldn't really 'sell' a dodgy beta test... in Beta Feedback Sins Forums

Actually, being a beta tester was a perk for those who pre-ordered (which I do believe it says you are doing). you don't pay to be a beta tester, it's just something you get for pre-ordering. it's your choice on whether or not you actually download the Beta. (edit: missed the post above) also, you're complaining because the BETA isn't perfect? THAT'S WHY IT'S A BETA! if you don't want to be a beta-tester, then don't download the beta. the only real do

Reply to Vasari vs Hard AI help in Strategy Sins Forums

Use RA at all of your planets (or just flip it to autocast and watch for your supply to get low), and that should get your fleet on it's feet. also, I'd suggest skipping the Carrier cap (unless they are strikcraft-swarming you) and getting more Devastators for fleet mingling, Desolators for line battles(where the groups of ships stay separate; try to focus on one or the other, as the AI will generally pick one type of attack and stick with it - usually rushing into your fleet) The Desol

[quote who="ThaMahstah" reply="19" id="2012401"]Well, by the look of it activating two RAs in the same gravity well only gives you one RA. (Though they still take the resources.) [/quote] if you stagger them, they should work. i mean, hit one, wait til 30 seconds after the ships arrive, then hit the other. then you wouldn't have to wait for the cooldown, and you would get 2 RAs. but it's only theory

I haven't had more than one in a well, either. it's just not worth the tactical slots or the creds. esp since once i have it, i have enough planets that I activate them all once and I have a fleet as large or larger than any other player's.

[quote who="ThaMahstah" reply="7" id="2012156"]I think it sucks. You spend thousands and thousands of resources researching it, then you spend a few thousand building the Phase Stabilizer(s), then you spend another few thousand activating the ability, which has a very, very long cooldown, and your reward is about 5 mismatched ships per Stabilizer. Don't use it, it'll lose you the game. [/quote] so says the TEC/Advent player who just doesn't know how to

big one that needs to be micro'd for Vasari: Phase out hull, on the Antorak marauder. that's probably the one that should be micro'd, or turned off. never use it on autocast, because like that it's worse than useless. it will target the ship you are attacking, forcing your ships to switch targets, and it is a pain to retask them each time.
