That Loyalist Titan upgrade has one very distinct use as far as I can see Exidius. Negating TEC Loyalist Militia Buffs. If the Advent Loyalists instantly capture the planet, it's no longer a friendly planet for the Loyalists, therefore they lose their buffs.
The Advent Rebel Titan is even more hilarious if you consider the fact that the Rebels get tech that randomly resurrects their destroyed ships at semi-regular intervals. Blair nailed it, they're a god damn zombie horde.
[quote who="Silfarion" reply="2" id="3100718"]My issue has been around since day one... my ships always choose the shortest planet jump path, even disregarding Pirate bases or faction homeworlds. What's worse, they pick these paths even if another same amount of jumps path is available, if the path to it is even a tiny bit shorter. I shouldn't have to shift-click to baby sit their movements. =P But I agree with your first issue entirely, it's a small t
[quote who="davidabc66" reply="2" id="3100848"]I'm right there with you on the Advent titans, hate the look of both of them... When I think Advent, I'm thinking Radiance Battleship, sleek and deadly. A look neither titan comes anywhere close to. [/quote] Really? The Radiance? It has to be my least favourite Advent capital, and most Advent ships are anything but "sleek and deadly" looking, including the Radiance, the thing is incredibly boxy. I'm drawn more towards the like

To raise a more creative solution to making Titans counterable, in my eyes (and I theorycraft), the best way to bring down a Titan of any sort is kill it's antimatter dea d. Unfortunately our absolute best weapon against antimatter (light frigates) are completely nonexistent against a Titan. This leads to the Dunov, Radiance and Kortul, two of which are fairly lackluster otherwise, potentially seeing more play as Anti-Titan Capitals. What would anyone think of incr

The Vasari may be better equipped to deal with the Ankylon, hell they'll probably devour the thing, but that's only because what they do best is single target damage. However, the races in this game should not operate on rock/paper/scissors, they never have, so saying that the other races

There are no "beta keys". Preordering the game gets you into the beta. If you already have Trinity or Diplomacy, you even get a discount.
During this preview, Blair mouses over a few of the unique Advent Rebel techs, if you pause, you can read the descriptions. Reanimation: Allows the renewed Unity to create a temporary clone of destroyed enemy frigates or cruisers. Return of the Fallen: The power of the purified Unity causes some ships to be revived from time to time.

I have played several games now doing what you all are claiming is so out of balance and calling the Titans OP. BS, I lost my Rebel Titan trying to take out an enemy planet. it got wasted at level 3. So please do not try and pass off that the titans are OP or built way to soon. Because they are not. Again, I will say this again as some

" ResarchSubject_PLANET_FOR_A_PLANET.entity I have no clue whose this is, but it sounds evil... " I may have some ideas about this one. In the faction selection screenshots that were posted, the Advent Rebels were supposedly able to sacrifice their planets to deal "extreme" damage to adjacent planets.

[quote who="martox1" reply="88" id="3099453"]there is no point in push the titan back in the tech tree other than to make it useless and no matter were it is at ppl will still have then within 30 mins period and as it stands now we need to wait for the advent and vasari to get in before we start to call them op[/quote] There is a huge difference between a 15 minute Titan and a 30 minute one.
Pirate Titan would be a no. A Pirate Capital (salvaged Kol, most likely) wouldn't be out of the realm of posibility at this point in time, but if it were added I'd only want to see it guarding the homebase or when someone's dumped like 15k on an extreme level mission for the pirates.

I didn't realize it was random, I presumed that it was always Ankylon, Advent Loyalist and Vasari Rebel, I shall go check it out now, thanks. Edit - Right you are, that's looking much better. I like, seems my fears about it were misplaced.

[quote who="Allquixotic" reply="5" id="3098910"] Example: the Advent could have a capship that can capture enemy ships by directing a "culture beam" at the ship, completely enveloping their communications and (okay how unbelievably sci-fi do we want to make this?) altering time so that they perceive time at a faster rate, thus they spend several months being brainwashed in Advent culture in a matter of seconds, and come out of the "beam" completely devoted to the Advent.[/quote]
[quote who="Allquixotic" reply="8" id="3099403"]nd if you're the Advent, you already have starbases that can move (albeit not phase jump), so it's even more of a yawner.[/quote] Do tell. (In all seriousness, I agree, Titans need a counter, but siege cruisers isn't the right option.)
Well those nutty TEC Rebels needed xenos to shoot, so Ironclad threw some Vasari Rebels on the Artefact Planet, clearly.
That planet is there for the Artefact Planet victory condition.
Which begs the question - Why is the Ankylon's damage output so high if it's supposed to be defensive fleet support? They're being used as lone battering rams because they can both tank everything and cut through them, Ragnarov may kill them a bit faster, but it drops like a brick without a support fleet to keep it alive.
