Reply to The Novalith-Akkan-Pirate Strategy (NAP) in Strategy Sins Forums

[quote]IIRC, you cannot even target a pirate base directly with a deliverance engine because it doesn't have population. Maybe I'm confusing it with uncolonized planets, but I seem to recall being unable to use my deliverance on a pirate base. Unless deliverance culture is somehow different from regular culture, it won't "defeat" the pirate base, either.[/quote] it can be targeted directly. just won't do any good in terms of its allegiance.

Reply to Wishlist: Fix some of the carrier micro in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

[quote who="Darvin3" reply="4" id="2129679"]On point #2, I think strike craft in general need to diversify their targetting. It's not a problem that fighters prioritize other SC, but rather that every fighter does so. When selecting their target, they should split up their firepower appropriately. You don't need 30 squads of fighters to chase down 2 squads of bombers. I can tell my units to focus fire on a cap if that's what I really want, but telling dozens of squads

[quote]I think this tactic is flawed, Pirates have sisge frigates in the gravity well, right? so the moment you colonize it, they will turn on "their" base.[/quote] they don't, unless raids have been accumulating there and not leaving. but yeah you guys are right about culture, doesn't affect pirates. mind, eyes of the converted still works on 'em, but you can't knock out the base with culture.

Reply to Staving off the inevitable Vasari Assailant rush in Strategy Sins Forums

fighters actually do more outright damage per pass than bombers against frigates. try it with a carrier cap when you grab your initial colonies. first try, with all bombers, second try with all fighters. once again, flaks are the exception. bombers do better against those. just because the bomber has heavy weapons doesn't mean it does more damage.

[quote who="bonscott" reply="9" id="2079634"]How could someone not have IE7? It's built into XP and if you don't keep yourself updated you're only asking for security problems. I never use IE7 except for one site that requires it, but I sure make sure I'm up to date with it. Frankly you are very dumb for not keeping it updated.

[quote]Hey guys. I don't think N3rull knows that other ships (such as ships with less than 6 armor) can be hit with nano disassembler. Let's not tell him and see how long he takes to figure it out![/quote] i'm going to have to admit that made absolutely no sense to me. ships with negative armor take increased damage, i believe. whats the point?

[quote]Um, has anyone ever noticed that the Marza is a "Dreadnought", which in itself states it is a more powerful ship then a Battlecruiser, Battleship or carrier...maybe I'm just silly that way, but..you think maybe it was called this for a reason?[/quote] a dreadnaught is defined as an all big guns ships...more powerful is a relative term.

Reply to Cap Ship Abilities in Strategy Sins Forums

[quote]This is virtually impossible, but with 3 lvl 6 Akkan ships you can chain Armistice nonstop. This means you can go ANYWHERE you want, or to permanently shut down any fleet you want to camp. Definite game ender right there.[/quote] unless, of course, that fleet is in its own system with friendly PJI's, then they can just run.
