Subversion was only useful in frontline attack. Because the duration is so long that it stacks. You could end up with a very slow buildtime in 1 grav well, which is useful when you are fighting at someone's factories. But it's not that useful.

If u tell it to go to a ship, it will generally heal that ship if it needs it.

I hate cruel AI, only cause you have to 1) cheat them, 2)Map has to have only one early chockepoint and 3)Game takes needlessly long :/

Advent need a better lategame econ tech also. I think they need a buff to alure of unity. TEC have Pervassive econ, and Vasari have Returning Armada. Advent have Alure of Unity, which is terrible in comparison.

What about giving scouts an upgrade ability that costs metal/crystal that turns it from a scouting vessel to a more combat vessel? It would probably have to be a researched ability. You could replace the martyrdom upgrade, as ti is mitigated by shields, and is largely useless.

Diplomacy 4v4 match - Not a bad game, but over quick. I was up against SlackahChiken, and he went 2 caps first, I went 1. You see why going 2 is not always the best. I had bigger fleet whole time cause of this, and he was on the defensive. Which let me expand to the volcanic and I totally out econed him.

Here is a resource focus upgrade which I thought of myself: It is always active, but the bonus is in an area around the tradeport. So you have to build the tradeports near constructors. Edit: Also I would like to see a lot of the abilities converted to passives. So that each cap has at least 1 passive ability. I don't think you can balance it otherwise, since Vasari especially suffer from lack of any sort of antimatter regen for their caps. While a ship like Adv

This is very good thread. I hate facing vasari now. And I find killing caps with Scramble bombers really cheap. Anyway. Aside to fixing all the imbalanced issues I would love Caps retooled. I'm tired of the lvl 6 magic number. I believe that the ultimate ability of a cap should work from lvl 1, and simply scale with levels of the caps. This would fix a lot of the problems a lot of the caps have. Of course the ability would be much weaker at lvl 1. For example Missile bar

Sweet. Thnx for those. I guess we can just pile em up in this thread. I would repost but I'm feeling a tad lazy atm! Maybe this weekend I'll submit copies of them for the wincustomize. We need to get some replays in there also as new players don't know where to get replays at all!

I'm wondering if it's time for a new replay thread. I have not played much in months. And I am really bad. Therefore I would probably depend on submissions from more regular players. Aside from links to off sites, I think it be a good idea to upload some into the wincustomize. As the games I have seen in there are relics. There are some of my games from over 2 years ago! What you guys think? New replay thread yes/no?

No, not even close. ICO is not a failure imo. But there are things that could make it much better like ability to rejoin game in progress and Spectator modes. For the most part people that do play it or have played it, played it quite a bit. So to those that MP is attractive, would say it is a success. Problem is not many strategy gamers like MP. Each having their own reasons. Most often it is fear of not being accepted. But that is a psychological issue that plagues all of mank

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="15" id="2612545"]Well clearly I won't be modding or getting Civ V now. [/quote] I thought you might say that. It gets even worse. If people do mod, and the mod mimics stuff that is in one of their DLC or other paid add-ons, they will be sued!

EA is just a big evil corporation (thou so is gamestop). Such things will feel entitled to as much money as possible, and will go the best way they can about it. Yes EA is trying to steal money from Gamestop. But worse yet, they are trying to steal OUR rights of first sale. If EA could they would make you pay $5 every time you heard the name of one of their games spoken to you.

I liked the We Can't Win episode. Though not as good as the previous, it does create future plot points. Especially with Anna's daughter being a traitor to be.

Sure, last episode was fairly good. I suspected the sexy girl was an agent. Damn she was sexy :O

Pretty good episode tonight. Issue I had thou was why didn't the 5th column members take the pills? Wouldn't they rather die fast then be skinned alive?

I've had some ridiculous pirate raids on me to a point where I just turn them off now. I'm talkign about raids lunched with 250 credits at the start of the game taking out starbases :( I want pirates to be strong, but it's ridiculous now. Also I ahte the planet bomber raids myself! So annoying. I got the starbases with loyalty upgrade only have the pirates to slaughter my starbase then kill the planet anyway.
