11. Forgetting to change hw as your empire expands. As for your list, i would say its good although i have a small quibble with number one. Once you get to 40+ ships focus firing can actually hurt your dps because you tend to overkill stuff. Also, starbase eco is trash because it takes 82.5 minutes to pay for itself and the two levels. You should really only build it for when theres a pesky dead asteroid or gas giant blocking your trade route. I would say the idea that TL is s

Seriously, I am sick and tired of all the people on ICO thinking VL titan is somehow a crap ship. It gives me a freaking migraine. Just because it doesn't have any flashy abilities like chastic burst or scattershot does not mean it is useless. On the contrary, its actually one of the best titans. MPJ basically is a get-out-of-jail-free card, meaning the Vorastra can never die unless with exceptionally poor micro. Desperation melts any frigate fleet into butter, and it even works wonders o
Goafan do you want to be co-captain with aresiv?
...the prevalence of trolls. No joke, this is worse than MDs. Guys like sleeper can derail a 5s lobby for more than 40 minutes, as they constantly spam chat with useless shit like "your retardedd" and "no u r." Trying to set up a PUG process with captains and numbers is literally impossible due to the endless spam. This was not a problem several months/year ago, but given the extraordinary low player count these days, and the fact that there is only one 5s lobby at any given time, it pisses o
Add teun to the list of recruits... Did not know he played on ICO...
Please gtfo woeaintme, your past 10 posts have consisted of nothing insults toward me. They are not only devoid of any substance but clearly had nothing to do with the topic at hand. If you dont have anything to contribute to this list I suggest you leave and go play with easy AI.
As Ryat cleverly told us, why bother building corvettes against a titan when its railgun can just one shot your ships?
Seleuceia, you just dug a hole so deep with that post its likely Stardock will fix minidumps before you climb out of it. Your "logic" is filled with nothing but buckets upon buckets of hogwash. It is amazing that you seek to insult me at every opportunity, when I have done nothing but offer the hand of friendship. Allow me to refute your nonsense point by point: [quote who="Seleuceia" reply="7" id="3458435"] Quoting RagnorakEviscerator, reply 6Instead, building a starbase
Seleuceia, I have treated you with respect and dignity throughout my posts. It is sad that you demonstrate no such considerate behavior in return. I urge you to abandon your hostility toward many of the members here, before you are known as an obscene and vulgar person.
I just singlehandedly guided a PUG process in 2 minutes where the entire lobby was dead for like half an hour. That makes this post invalid. However, I played like utter shit in that game so I guess that was karma from the minidump gods...
[quote who="Seleuceia" reply="5" id="3458424"] In small numbers, lums are quite vulnerable to corvettes, but when the numbers are sufficient the corvettes don't counter very well...what is best to use as your counter depends on your faction and on whether the limiting factor at the time is resources or construction time....if you are Vasari and it is construction time, you are better off with kanraks...if you are TEC and it is resources, you are better off with corvet
The bigger problem is the low player count. I just spent two hours waiting for a 5v5 game to fill up because there was less than 100 players online.
It is a pretty common occurence for skilled players to build their own lrms to counter illums. Given that you dont play multiplayer, you might not have seen this and thus are still stuck in an outdated mindset.
Goafan, vettes dont counter illums. It is actually the other way around (especially with malice support). Your best bet to counter them is to just build your own lrm and form a huge blob so that the illum beams have trouble targeting more than one ship. Or you could just build fighters.
Don't make me post that replay Seleuceia... You know, the one where I demonstrate the true power of TEC?
Tier 2 player here. Good first draft, although as others have said, needs definite improvement... [quote who="Seleuceia" reply="1" id="3457789"] Lia probably should be moved up to tier 2...his eco is great and he can hold against tier 1 and tier 0 players on the frontline, hell I've even seen him hold off Doci for a while...I'd certainly pick him over about a fourth of the tier 2 people... Vahpe should definitely not be tier 3.
