Picard, what you wrote above is sensible and fair, but you still do not understand the very point of WHY MB is imbalanced and your previous post was a little different than you describe now. 1] MB is imbalanced because it gives tec, and ONLY TEC, an admin's kick button that works on everybody that dares to stare out of the window for the wrong 10 seconds. Maybe watching 10-sec porn scenes while playing Sins is something one deserves to immediately lose for, but Vasari a

Haha, standard mathematical abuses. Ok, here's your logic. Behold. A well upgraded starbase has 12k life and 21 armor (or something like that, it can easily have 26 armor and over 20k life, but whatever). Mister Bobucles stacks some armor reducing effects and applies -21 armor debuff on that starbase. The starbase's infocard says it is now 12k life and 0 armor. Mister Bobucles' logic says it shuold

[quote]Anyway, the proposes on the other page were not necesarily in line with MB being "imba." If one were to compare the abilities to make them in line w/ MB, then thay would not both deal dmg and heal the casting target. I thought the idea here was to propose MB balances, possibly in the realm of "fixing" other caps' abilities, not to create another "imba" abilitiy. So if y'all want more imba abilities to counter or mimic MB, then at least keep it in line with MB's dmg potoential. Anything

I think it IS a DECENT idea of how to solve the issue. Maybe MB is not overpowered, but it SEVERELY stands out of the line of ALL other abilities. It is the ONLY ability that ALONE, with NO SUPPORT, puts ALL the pressure on the ENEMY . If he doesn't act fast, he lost . The damage it deals is practically irrelevant. What is important is the underlined part. It is sev

Eh, those Marza lovers. Take a piece of paper and run through ALL lvl6 cap ship abilities and try to explain why they rock. You will see that ALL lvl6 cap abilities MAY ROCK ONLY IF you have certain other units in your fleet or in CERTAIN situations. For instance, Volatile Nanites, one of the coolest Vasari cap abilities, requires you to have massive DPS on your side. If
