The vasari have phase gate's with which they can jump directly to other gravity wells in the same system with phase gates. These gates also double as cheap production centers with RA (returning armada). I think this is one of the things that realy stand out as end game technology. ^^

 

P.S.

his allows for quick fleet movement in larger maps.

I personally am a Vasari player.  they have a decent long-term advantage over the other races (phase missiles against Vasari, kostura cannon can decimate garrisoned enemy fleets by essentially ion bolting them all, and the Returning Armada ability will almost guarantee you a decent sized if not maxed fleet continuously til the end, once you have it.  a fully researched Vasari fleet is quite a force to be reckoned with.

Hey Saurabh,

I like Vasari, personally.  If TEC got some love I'd play them too.  Kinda hate Advent

I was going to say the same, the phase gates are one of the biggest reasons I love playing Vasari. Plus I love the way their ships look.

My favourite are by far the Advent. I love their looks and powers. I do play with the other races from time to time though.

Vasari. Why? Powerful ships, bigger fleet, more powerful weapons and phase gates.

The Vasari have a definate advantage in large maps (longer games) due to that Phase Stabilizer people are refering to.  They allow you to defend your worlds with a much smaller fleet, giving more resources and ships for the offense.  This is particularly true on large radom maps that may not have many choke points.

I would agree with the people who have suggested that advent ships have fun powers.  They do, the capital ships especially.  However, on larger maps I tend to pick Vasari just due to knowlege that the Phase stabilizer with free me from the need of defensive ships on the majority of my worlds.

I like Vasari for their phase gates and also if you notice their resource upgrades for metal and crystal are combined into one purchase for the price of one. This is quite usefull on large and even small maps as these Guys love their metal and crystal. Also a refinery is a quick advance that I like to pick up on. Their military is strong but they sometimes lack in mid game. They get their LRF's in just one research lab. Spam City. Also their abilities are great especially the Drain Planet from the almighty space egg. But on the down side they are quite expensive and their squadrons are easily destroyed. But the Pro's outweigh the Con's by far. Play Vasari

Yeah, I've fallen in love with the Vasari in 1.1.  I like them for the same reasons as above.  I would say TEC and Advent tie for 2nd place.

Wat?

I like Advent the best.  TEC came in second.  Vasari is powerful, but I can't play them right.

Vasari own. The only thing that can beat a Vasari fleet is the Advent battle ball (Masses of Guardians spamming Telekenic Push). A shot from a Kostura will shut them down long enough for your phase missiles to destroy them though, provided you have one and are fighting around an enemy planet

Saurabh... Are you worried aobut your game with me??? Ha your funny! Anyway as a adviser (not a friend) Be a race you love to be AND STICK WITH IT. I had that problem i loved all the races but eventually i decied to be a race and im now better with them (Not Amazing but good).

Tech is pretty bad later game. If you get the marza to level6 and have lots of kodiacs and lots of hoshikos,I have beaten advent fleets same size. Not only that but if you lose alot your econ is rollin so you can rebuild fast.

Hi to all. . .

I am an Advent player because I love psychic powers. BUT I believe that Vasari's ships are awesome.

In space noone can hear you scream... of frustation MwahahaHAHAHAHA

WTB a lvl 6 marza to push around :inlove:

 

On topic, compliments to the dev team, even though the difrences betwee the races is rather small, the *feel* you get from playing them is vastly difrent

 

Tec- build an army and go ---> that way, KIEEEL

Vasari - 1000 hit and runs while building up the DARK ARMADA mwahahahaha

Advent - i fell just like Ian m Banks culture novell-> the player of games. im not really playing my enemies but rather the map- slow economic consoladation of the galaxy.

Plus Vasari have the mighty Desolator cap ship which can take out a planet by itself. Due to the really cost effective siege platforms. Ha a new strateie in rushing right there. Send ship in beginning of game to enemy planet with siege platforms and boom you win in the first ten minutes.

 

PS    I WIN  :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :) :) :) :) :)
