So.. what are Vasari about?

from Sins Forums
I'm talking MP here. I don't play singleplayer.
Okay I got TEC.. They have early trade and they can tank with armor really well, and do good single target damage.

Advent is my favorite. Motherships shield restoring, with gaurdians.. take out entire fleets without even loosing a single frigate. Illumini are so good at killing(Especially cap ships) i'm tempted to call them imba. But they need a ton of crystal.

But Vasari.. What are they about? There cap ships all seem like complete and utter crap with useless abilities except the motherships warp-stopping one. But what good is stopping a jump when you do half the damage advent does? Only good thing I've liked about them is that they get resource gathering boosting abilities early on.. get both ups in 1 cheap upgrade. Also they have reduced ship costs, but nothing reduces research cost form what I see.
So is that it.. the phase jumping between your worlds however you want and making ships cheaper?
So far I really don't like Vasari much. Tec is okay, but I love Advent.

The one Vas Cap-ship (the one that can colonize & in the lore is also a ship for housing alot of their ever-fleeing population; sorry I forgot the name :D) is often what I use for cap hunting.

It has a armor debuff that lets you make mince-meat out of your target. I am uncertain of the armour dmg reduction formula but it must be impotant due to the large difference I see when force-firing on a armour debuffed cap.

oh that replicate is permanant? Neat

And using the carrier to create a bomber squad is EXTREMELY silly until you're elvel7 or 8 so it only costs 50 AM or whatever. The healing ability is much more useful and you don't have antimatter for both.

The Carrier repair cloud isn't great, but it heals fighters. Progenitor shield cloud doesn't.

You don't have to be winning to tech up to the stabilizers and armada, although it would be harder to do if you were on the back foot. It helps to have a partner- 1v1 you just can't focus so much on research, as you have to defend yourself the entire time and there's no other targets for them to go after.

The Skirantra repair cloud is more useful for the Vasari as they use Armor as their main defense and the cloud can repair armor on everything within range(including strikecraft).

The Progenitor shield-regen cloud is more useful for the Advent since they use Shields as their main defense and the cloud can regen shields.
