AI needs to respond to Nano Leech

...because right now, a level 4+ Vasari Rebel Titan will basically autowin vs. arbitrarily large AI fleet(s), since they will just let all their ships sit in range of the ability, getting hammered with uncapped AoE while the titan enjoys an endless supply of HP and antimatter.  Once you've charged into the middle of the enemy fleet, it's already over.

 

If they ran their ships away while hitting the titan with bombers, combat would actually pose a threat, because right now, the only danger hostiles pose is the ability to attack the gravity wells where my titan isn't.

SD is going to nerf nano leach. this is beta shit needs to be worked out. Also the AI has always been super duper weak.

Yeah I'm very disappointing they didn't fix this is beta. Vasari rebel titan with a large fleet is unstoppable and has no counter. Please nerf this please so I can play other factions.

Don't use Visari Rebel against the AI right now if you want any sort of challenge.  Loyalists at least you need to know what you're doing to break them.

I like eating AI fleets with the Maw though--that's really fun.

This is the single most broken ability I'v seen in this game. Just had a 3 hour 3v3 game where 3 people dropped 2/3 in and it was me and the AI vs. 2 humans still. One of the humans was VR and literally all he had left was his Titan and a cap ship. He would just fight the AI with it until he got it to level 10. I had 150 bombers on it by the end - he would just chase the carriers and try to leech off them and then run from the gravity well once he reached half health and go around trying to ninja the AIs planets and be annoying. Meanwhile his partner had his Titan and caps and built up fighters and flak to kill my bombers. The AI was better than my dropped teammates luckily and it got to that stalemate time where I just left massed bombers, guardians, starbases, and phase inhibitors everywhere and went to make a sandwich and they eventually lost patience and surrendered. Sorry, just had to vent a little...it's such a ridiculously strong ability right now that should never have made it out of beta.
