You like those just because they look cool?
You're probably gonna have a Skiranta Carrier vs. three Radiance Battleships and you're gonna be like "NO don't destroy it it's too pretty!"

yes, it kind of similar with the space ship from the 2nd Alien movie

dude who cares if he like it for how it looks its a game.

advent- Radiance caus eits badass, and the carrier cause i destroy with strike craft.

TEC- dunov cause it looks kool, kol for firepower, sova for fighter/bombers

Vasari- dont play as them, they look funky

not to mention the passive bonuses some of them have.....would rather give 150 ships a decent weapon bonus than have an extra 5-10 ships

and hood......the egg will eat your soul

In alot of games, I tend to mess around and build Capitol ships only, and being a big fan of them as I am, I'd love to see some buffs...

-Mostly to the Combat Oriented Ships. Kortul, Radience and Kol. They don't have the abilities of the other ships, only the ones to deal damage, to power themselves, and to defend themselves. Therefore, they need a damage buff. Leave the HP, Shields and armor alone, I'd love to be able to see a Kol actually become worthwhile, and be able to actually destroy enemy ships in goodtime. You know something's wrong when you have a Sova or a Akkan doing more planet securing and enemy killing than a Kol.

And another thing you guys seem to be overlooking, is the Advent's Halycon Carrier. With the fighter/bomber buff's this ship alone with the Extra fighters could be dangerous, but then the Psionic Push is really anti fighter as well, as it affects ALL fighters in the radius. But what makes it shine, is it's energy weapon cooldown. At level 3, it shaves up 22% cooldown for ALL energy weapons, and advent is made purely out of those. And in a tight fight, the ships that shoot faster usually do better.

Note: An Illuminator Spam plus and Halycon and Progenitor = Good game, period.

I primarily play Advent and try to build my fleet around the trio of Radiance, Progenitor, and Halcyon.  However, I tried a couple games as Vasari and Tec but found I greatly missed my Radiance's 'Taunt' ability.  Admitedly, these games were Single player and I imagine in MP games, such an ability wouldn't be as useful. 

I found the Dunov nice for its Shield Restore ability, but I didn't find it as effectice as the Progenitor's Shield Regen.  I tried the Vasari carrier for its repair ability, but found it greatly lacking in usefulness as usually only one or two ships at a time would ever start taking hull damage.  I prefer to be able to keep my ship's shields up rather than its hull, but of course this is my Advent bias talking.

Great.

But he asked for YOUR FAVORITE CAPITAL SHIPS. Please read more carefully.

I haven't played much outside of Vasari, but I really like the Carrier. It's really useful when it unloads about 5 squads of bombers on a fleet of cobalts. Plus, as someone else mentioned, it has the ability to repair other ships around it.

1) it's Progenitor, not Projenitor.

2) Spamming sucks. It's addicting. Like Meth. Or Crack.

Trust me, I had to stop spamming in several games after 2-3 days. It got boring because I was constantly winning.

[quote who="superfleet" reply="6" id="1861613"]i have someothing to tell monk. while caps arent worht building in extremely hi numbersl, having 2-4 can be extremely helpful. they have a higher survuvabilty rating plus are great for hit and runs.

I disagree with the "higher survivability" of the CAPS as you put it (200 frigates or bombers focus-firing a group of CAPS one-by-one is like watching popcorn in the microwave...hehe)

......but I digress.  I shouldn't have even commented in this thread since networking is what I know.....not the actual gameplay.

Mostly in tha games I mess around in, these are my Cappie Combos.

TEC: Kol's, Dunov's, and Akkan's. (In Increments of 2/1/1 Respectivly, Kol's just are badass.)

Advent: Haylcon's, Progenitors, and one battleship that can use Vertigo.

Vasari: Space Egg's and the Phase Missle happy Planet Siegers...

I've decided I'm really bad with names...

Space Egg. Use Drain Planet, then use the resources sucked up to develop the planet once I colonize it. Denying enemy caps the ability to phase jump makes it easier to chew them up with the Disassembler (I always end up responsible for the most capital ship deaths in the games I play).

Advent Rapture Battle Cruiser. Get it up to level 6, get Domination and you can forget all about fleet size caps. I have been able to build mixed fleets of Advent, Vasari, TEC and Pirates up to almost -6000 fleet size. Which is ,in relative terms, 4 times the usual cap of 2000 because I end up with a fleet strength ot 8000. The only reason I don't make them bigger is because the game starts lagging horribly.

 Try it sometime it is fun. It works best if you do a custom map with 13 star systems or so with 10 opponents.
