One Request for Dark Fleet

from Sins Forums

The only way to make the Varasrie Loyalist fleet completely independent of planets infrastructure  would be to give as one of the dark fleet choice one that would just send one Colonie ship.  The usefulness for both being able to take worlds as well as the ability to build Starbases would make it invaluable.

Colony ships are indeed sent when the Dark Fleet Beacon is activated, I have always gotten them.

Colony and scouts should have a separate spawn button IMO though. Many times they are useless, but when we want them, we want THEM.

I was not talking about the Capital ones I was talking about the small frigates.  Once I have researched starbase they are not useless you can aways use starbases. Also since the you may lose your colonie Capital ship and what is sent is threw capital dark fleet spawn is random you can not relie on that for a new colonie ship.

I've received Migrators from the "support fleet" option.  

I'd agree that it would be nice for a dedicated colony/scout option, though.

Its in the support fleet beacon. Also summoning the cap ships may yield a colony cap as well so its there.

The only way to make Loyalists independent from planets is to give their star base or their titan the ability to construct ships.

I said it in another post - Reduce the cool down time on the phase node from the VLT to about 100 so they can drop them in loads of systems - but make the Anit matter cost 100% of the titans max antimatter

Id be more interested in being able to pick what capital ships come though - having a choice would be really usefuul - as it stands i havent used it once because if i lose a cap ship always occupy a world build a replacement (so its the right cap)

I agree about the Capital ship thing. You guys have been getting Migrators from the Dark Fleet. Have not been able to get that from the support section. I still think it needs a dedicated button just for Colony Frigates.

It seems currently that the ships you get from both Support and Combat fleet are kinda random, i would like to see some order in this, i mean you always get the same composition of ships. I agree that Migrators, scouts and perhaps even minelayers should be separate group.

Agreed, but then you run the risk of getting too many buttons on one little structure (which I wouldn't like). After all the Vasari already does, having some risk/randomness to the Dark Fleet Beacon is a nice catch. Can't have your pie and Pinkie too. Where would the special selection stop? It'd be like the Vasari version of "The Price is Right:"
"Jarun Migrator from Alpha Centauri? Come on downnnnnnnnn! You're the newest member on 'The Fleet is Right!'"

P.S.: If the Vasari have technology so advanced that they can hand-pick what ships to call for from the Dark Fleet that may be systems away, what does that say about the other two races?

The saying goes ("You can't have your cake and eat it too.") and why would I want a pinkie or any severed finger for that matter? <_<
