Reply to Coronata Titan Feedback in Sins Rebellion Sins Forums

[quote who="Volt_Cruelerz" reply="3" id="3174507"]Originally, I had considered lower AM drains, but I figured since Det AM removes 208 AM and EMP removes 173 from all targets in radius, that an otherwise gratuitously large number really wouldn't be that gratuitous. I'd be fine with bringing down both the damage and AM drain as the numbers I gave are probably OP, but I'd be hesitant to bring them down too much because then the Coronata gets outdone by the Radiance or Dun

Reply to Coronata Titan Feedback in Sins Rebellion Sins Forums

[quote who="Volt_Cruelerz" reply="1" id="3174481"]I think we may need to rethink the way we consider the Coronata.. Note that due to the buff, Subjugating Assault is actually quite good against frigates. Unity Mass on the other hand is something that specifically targets large targets. Perhaps a better path would be to make it something that is more useful against starbases, capitals, and titans. AM drain/disable abilities? This would turn it into a u

Reply to Advent Overpowered?! in Sins Rebellion Sins Forums

The advent are all about late game fleet synrgy, the TEC are about having a strong economy. Strong economy generally means TEC excel at early game pressure and late game wars of attrition. TEC generally wins late game direct confrontations chiefly when their economy has a large lead so they can field a larger fleet. In general this means in a late game fleet scenario the TEC fleet isn't supposed to beat the advent fleet in a direct confrontation. &

Coronata Titan Feedback in Sins Rebellion Sins Forums

I'm glad to see the Coronata is starting to get some attention with the recent Subjugating Assault buff. That said, the Coronata still has some pretty severe unaddressed issues. The Problems: First off, while the buff to subjugating assault is nice, one fundamental flaw of the ability is still present: It does absolutely nothing against capita<span style="fon

Reply to Establishing Priorities for Balance [Updated for Release] in Sins Rebellion Sins Forums

Since the devs seem determined to keep the current form of Unyielding will, I just had a thought: What if the Advent rebels could start rebuilding their titan as soon as unyielding will activates? That would make the ability great as the invulnerable Eradica could stall for time while it's successor is rebuilt. Even with the opponent controlling the time and place of it's activation, the heavy reduction of that period of vulnerability when you lose a ti

Honestly I still think the best idea was have orkies need an upgrade to be able to jump(ideally a 2 rank upgrade that applies penalties after jumping at first rank). An orky with out 6 combat upgrades instead of 8 would be much more reasonable to deal with jumping into your system.

Hate to be a proverbial wet blanket, but we're starting to get a bit off topic- would sooner not see this become another argument over the legitimacy of stardock's balancing methodology. I get some that some people are frustrated, but I'm starting to get sick of seeing so many threads hijacked by this debate which generally IMO isn't very productive.

Introduction: It's no secret that the advent Loyalists are at present a weak faction.

Reply to Establishing Priorities for Balance [Updated for Release] in Sins Rebellion Sins Forums

By and large agree. But in addition to the unkillability, the AM drain on the kultorask is WAY too strong at later ranks. It renders frigates obsoletes by outhealing their damage output and even worse makes capitalships obsoletes by VERY quickly running them out of AM. 300 AM from the entire enemy fleet is ridiculous. SHouldn't be any higher then 150-180 at rank 4. Also, the ability returning 100% of stolen AM

Reply to Would lower damage balance corvettes? in Sins Rebellion Sins Forums

My only complaint with making fighters counter corvettes hard is that IMO, one of the main strategic niches of corvettes is countering carrier capital ships. That said, just reducing their damage type against fighters would be fine(hurting their AA capabilities). Making fighters kill vettes faster though I think would be risky as it would hurt their ability to counter one of the things they really should counter. Also one very easy to turn nob is make the

Reply to Would lower damage balance corvettes? in Sins Rebellion Sins Forums

What they really need is their own damage type. They do almost as much damage to LF as they do to LRM frigates- and considering their mobility, so long as they have the firepower to counter the latter(which they are supposed to), they likely will still have the upper hand on the former. Not to mention their damage type is just too versatile in general(there's a reason previously composite damage wasn't available until late game heavy cruisers). Simpl
