[quote who="ARESIV" reply="5" id="3371065"]Actually starbases happen to be of limited effectivness because of this, at least if you go against a human enemy. [/quote] But against AI it would be unbearable at higher difficulties, having to destroy a fully upgraded super starbase at all of his planets [e digicons]x_x[/e] so his point of view is right against AI somewhat..
[quote who="Apheirox" reply="54" id="3371050"]This is on normal speed, the default.[/quote] I know it's default but from the start I've played on fast speed for years, and recently on fastest, and all numbers are changed on these levels. So maybe there are people who don't know this goes for normal speed, so better to make it clear.
[quote who="Apheirox" reply="52" id="3371047"]The value of 40 you were given, which is also the value the game's wiki states, appears to be too high. A 100% allegiance planet with 80 pop produces 2.3/s (~35 pop/credit), and one with 40 has a rounded-down displayed value of 1.1/s. Homeworld's 480 pop @ 110% allegiance produces 19.8 creds/s, which gives us a value of ~33 pop/credit. Enemy homeworld's 100 pop @ 40% allegiance yields 1.1/s, which suggests a value of ~36 pop/credit. Lo
1. Vasari has better population growth, though still Advent benefits the most. 2, Culture is still a weak thing and can be countered quite well.. You are right, this social specialization is good, as Advent in AI games I rarely build trade ports now, and still have a relatively good economy.. I only need trade ports if my starting position lacks high-pop planets..
WOW, looks good :) An idea came into my mind: you should make some nice pics where loyalists and rebels are "hating" each other (from one race, no matter which, so like Tec Rebel VS Tec Loyalists, or the Advent or Vasari ones), so a fight maybe, or an argument? Or a two part picture showing the two faction's leaders and armadas maybe (focusing on titans, because so few things are faction specific in appearance..)? I don't know any pictures that are of this topic
FOR TEH LULZ how i hate Armistice... only way to stop it if you make AI jump several times in a row, and hope he does not have his culture improved to refill antimatter.. but he always does.

[quote who="ZombiesRus5" reply="8" id="3370379"]That's not possible.[/quote] Then how do you explain seeing those nice explosions near a planet that was not even near a gas giant? Hopefully the guy will post some nice pics on this. Or maybe I was just so tired I was hallucinating?? :D I dont think so...
[quote who="Vash_AMR" reply="6" id="3370368"]but it happen out side of the giant gas too[/quote] Yes, I remember this too, pictures would be good, showing that this happens at an xy type planet too, I think the effect of Gas Giants sticks on the ship that leaves that gravity well for some time. And it shouldn't.
[quote who="crazyewok123" reply="2" id="3370317"]Did they fix the 2GB mini dump problem?[/quote] They will never in this game... Maybe only in the sequel if that is going to happen. They only introduced some improvements so the game reaches this limit harder EDIT: I meant difficult, not hard, English....

I have seen this happen many times with ships that recently went through a gas giant grav well and just jumped to a neighbouring well.. I think that ability is broken, as it does not stop being on ships, so when they die, an area attack of ~80 happen

You will get your ass handed to you.. If they ally and get the pacts even your upgraded ships will die in no moment, not speaking about even a fully upgraded orkulus going down just from some (not more than 15) crazy damage heavy cruisers (they had 50+ damage per sec each..) and a titan support

If you are attacked while your trade ports were only built, you lost the front.. But they can also give a huge advantage
[quote who="Furball-09" reply="2" id="3370002"] Is there a ranking somewhere I'm missing? I'll take another look on the forums. I play as Uberstew.[/quote] not really, there isnt a current ranking, I think he keeps tracking the pro players in his head, what he sees from skilled games, who is still playing, etc..
I will explain why. In my recent game I am Vasari Loyalist, having an Advent Rebel ally, and a Tec Loyalist and a Vasari Loyalist opponent, all AI. I have a good economy, have some nice planets on random medium large (my favourite map, it gives some breathing space). So, the problem is, the unfair AI's both have all the fancy stuff from TEC and Vasari pacts, and it is shockingly strong.. without a full fleet they are very dangerous.. With a Vorastra and 2-3 level5+
[quote who="Timmaigh" reply="46" id="3369996"]It actually becomes a non-decision.[/quote] When I play VL I never strip a planet.. Is there any advantage in stripping them? I prefer having an oldschool economy to this stripping and piling up resources.. I prefer to have huge income late game.. only in the late game if I like I strip some newly conquered ex AI worlds that are far away from home and have low allegiance. What was your strategy Timmaigh with the stripping?

always queue your first capital ship at the first moment of the game.. you had absolutely no ships for a long time.. And scouting was started a bit late..

[quote who="Seleuceia" reply="3" id="3369988"]There is a 40% drop in culture strength for each jump from the source of culture...so, planets one jump away are only feeling 60% of the culture, and that alone makes it much easier to defend against culture...[/quote] good to know these numbers.., so I guess the TEC research for culture loss makes it 30 then 20% decrease for each jump from the original planet.
