I dunno if that's enough time for the devs to fix the bugs found by the players playing the beta... but the release date's their decision.

Some vasari experimental teleport lab flicks a switch, blows up, then you see a kortul on the run followed by what looks like a diagram of the vasari moving from planet to planet with each planet falling dark as the unknown enemy arrives a short time after the vasari remnants leave, indicated by the planet turning red in the

[quote who="Coridane" reply="18" id="3014318"]I learned a lot from this campaign. I ended up taking the fight to them and my last stand was around one of their planets, engaging multiple fleets, but they crushed me. Next campaign, I'll do a better job of fortifying my planets. I think I also need to create more smaller fleets for defensive purposes, as one of my friends suggested. I tend to rely on a single, super force.[/quote] A fortified starbase on one of your worlds
[quote who="dbkita" reply="11" id="3014119"]As a Vasari near the end of the game, I aim for roughly 100+ bomber squads at maybe an 8:1 bomber to fighter ratio with 30-40 flak. Rest of my fleet is 12-13 caps heavy on the Skirantra (though a couple of high level eggs are very devastating when used in tandem), 20 subverters, maybe a few overseers to help heal caps, and a boatload of assailants. I no longer even bother building enforcers or skirmishers. The former are fodder for bombers and the l

[quote who="Darvin3" reply="4" id="3014043"]Back in Entrenchment you stood a chance by getting a starbase operational right away, but without immediate feed that just can't happen in time.[/quote] How did that work? Unless it was an Orkulus, couldn't the attackers just fight/bomb from outside the range of the SB? And even if it was an Orkulus, it's not that effective against large single targets like capital ships.
He's saying that he thinks flak should counter bombers better, I think. And if that's what he's saying then I definitely agree. Late-game massed bomber squadrons in particular are too effective IMO.
Thanks a lot for uploading this. I definitely learned a few things. * kbroke - Advent was somewhat trapped in a pocket by Exterminate - TEC. kb colonized the key roid giving him a way out, but didn't make any attempts to build ships or defend it. Starting with a Progen and a Halcyon hurt him a lot - if he had built frigate factories on the roid ASAP and spammed Disciples he probably could have overwhelmed Exterminate, who had civic labs and did a whole lot of civic research, di
[quote who="Coridane" reply="4" id="3013795"]I think someone mentioned this in the starbase post and I meant to reply to it, but I'll reply to it now: I was unaware that Hoshiko's could repair structures. I assumed they were only ship to ship. So they can also repair structures (turrets, extractors, labs, ports, etc.)?[/quote] Anything with a repair ability can repair anything else friendly with hull points, as long as it's within range.

With a triple Sova-rush like the one you mention, it's more difficult, especially so if the two players both have Embargo. Doable? I don't know, it depends on the skill level of the players involved. While your 30 LF or so will do quite a lot of damage against enemy caps, if the enemy retreats their Sovas in time / repairs and if both aggressor players build supporting LRM you'll probably be dead, simply because you can't produce ships fast enough to keep up with the enemy'
I'm assuming you're talking about the very dangerous level 2 Embargo-Sova rush strategy that seems so common in 5s nowadays. Scout manually and quickly. If you see a Sova coming, don't build a second cap, just use your first one; maybe scrap your cap factory for a bit of extra funds that you'll need. If you're Advent, built a lot of Disciples ASAP. Build another frigate factory on your HW to produce faster. 20 to 30 Disciples, properly micromanaged, should
I still really don't like the idea of leaving the Advent without some sort of mobile repair ability, for caps at least...

[quote who="Ryat" reply="1" id="3013721"]LRMs do good against caps but cruisers are the anti-LRMs you might say.[/quote] Heavy cruisers are the only real good anti-LRM unit... that, and flak. but the AI doesn't know how to do that.
Do your best to keep your starbase alive no matter the cost. If that means sending flak frigates into the area to act as meat shields, so be it. Make sure to have a few Hoshikos around your SB at all times as well. I, for one, always avoid building starbases in neutral gravity wells like Gas Giants because they're difficult to repair effectively. In a neutral well, they can be repaired at most at a rate of 20 hull/sec: but if you have a SB on your own world with repair platforms y

[quote who="the_Monk" reply="18" id="3013578"] While I played the game for a while...watching the nerf-bat strike homerun after homerun on this and that unit is what ultimately turned me away from the game was that it seemed to be impossible for the DEVS to balance things in such a way as to mitigate the use of unit-spam (whatever was considered the new "OP unit" before being hit by the nerf-bat) as a viable WIN strategy. If games can't mitigate that, then I'm out. I
