[quote who="GoaFan77" reply="1144" id="3197357"]Sorry guys, I guess I should have explained what I'm trying to do in more detail. I don't care about the cosmetics of being phased out either. I'm trying to get the AI to use an ability better. One of the things you can do to narrow a target filter is define if that target is in normal or phase space. If I were to make an entity phased out all the time, but could still operate as a normal ship, and made the ability only target object

[quote who="Seleuceia" reply="1145" id="3197397"] Quoting SpardaSon21, reply 1141Then you should copy Magnetize. I'm reasonably sure you could remove the damage on impact and add frigates to the target table for the various buffs and it should do what you want. No, magnetize will kill the frigates upon impact, which I assume is not what he wants.... Trying removing all finish conditions and see if it works to any degree, then add them back in one at a time...<br

[quote who="SpardaSon21" reply="1137" id="3197204"]He could also be using "PrioritizeNewBuffs", which would cause that issue.[/quote] Yeah got it to work regular now, except reversing the sign on repulse and making it positive isn't pulling the ships in, instead it's making them move like slugs, almost freezing them in place. I could do that with disable engines....I want to pull them in.

The inverted repulse is working, but something is instantly resetting it. The periodic interval time again activates it, only to instantly be reset. Any ideas?

[quote who="GoaFan77" reply="1130" id="3197174"]Has anyone done any experiment with getting phased out objects to move, or even shoot weapons? Or are they hard coded to pretty much just sit there? Also still looking for anyone who can basically tell me how to get a white planet (like ice worlds in vanilla sins) to be white, instead of the mostly blue look it gets from the star light.

Question (for diplo 1.34) I want to replicate the "Magnetize" effect, only for ships. I want to apply the ability to one hostile ship and it attracts other hostiles to it. It does not need to apply at the same rate or apply damage. I want to make a "lump" of hostile ships that can't separate themselves for a time. I will probably need this in detail. Can send PM. Thanks.

Most players turn off pirates for competitive MP. However, it has been noticed many times that noobs find pirates very deadly, while any experienced players find them bugs on a windshield. Most games against the AI, with the exception of the first one or two raids, I never place a bounty. This should give you some comfort, as you get used to the game you will find pirates get less deadly. 12hrs is a very, very long game against 1 hard AI. With practice you'

In reality, the TEC is the best only in that it gives more of it's repair up front. The duration for the repairs that do a slower rate in fact last longer, so the total amount is the same (or close). SttC is so powerful because it is up front. Time is Money. TEC are the best against focus fire. Against spread out fire it is not so noticeable. Lore wise, Volt's make some sense. They are probably growing replacement or "healing" the ship while TEC is more like rebuilding

[quote who="Volt_Cruelerz" reply="16" id="3195735"]Well, techincally you could go..

[quote who="ussrAvA" reply="10" id="3194725"]SP hones your skill as a noob, nothing more.[/quote] MP and SP are totally different. You can't call one a noob for being skilled in one of those areas. If you play SP you're tactics are going to be far different from what you "learned" in MP. Works both ways.

[quote who="Frostflare" reply="18" id="3194412"]TEC names: Many appear to combine Slavic, Greek, and Latin elements; Since the Vasari names are of alien origin, we have no idea what they mean and can only go with phonetic similarities, since the only repeated phonemes are "surak" (Sulsurak, Tosurak, Lasurak [transport], Junsurak [flak]) and "astra" (Ravastra, Karrastra, Vorastra). I would give a great deal of forum karma to know what these phonemes mean.[/quote] Inde

[quote who="bilun" reply="7" id="3194341"] The tec Loyals certainly have issues and to be fair the Ankylon probably isn't one of the stronger titans- but titan balance has far too much complexity to be properly reflected simply by 1v1 titan battles. [/quote] He knows this. Testing with a support fleet makes things a lot more complicated though.

for a new player, concerned about your concerns... how big of a balance issue is there?

For one, are you looking for MP or SP or both? SP it won't be as noticeable. The people who notice the most imbalance are of course the ones who spend the most time on it, i.e. the pros. I would not call it glaringly broken. Perhaps now with the patch 1.03 the most obvious is the jumping Orkies, and the devs are going to work on that. If balance is your only concern, I would say get Rebellion, it'll be worth it if you like the rest of what you see. Note: I mysel
