dont make mods - they will only divide already small community apart,press on devs to fix balance faster instead.

Yeah, a lot of people are sick of the current status quo, and the devs are the only people with the power to make any type of balance practical to implement. We have to make a mod. I'm sick of Illum spamming.

From my observations I've noticed just a few inconsistancies that would make this game much much more balanced. Firstly, Illum health is way too high, as someone stated above "they are more like HC's than LRF". Next is that repulse needs to cost considerable mana, ESPECIALLY since its intended use was for escape, i dont think it should beable to hold back and entire fleet...or 2....or 5 for more than 8-10 seconds. I realize this sounds low, but keep in mind the average abusers has at least 6 guardians. if you dont want to nerf the mana cost, you could also increase the range of mana draining abilities to counter guardians. Along with that, LRMs should have a reduced damage bonus to light frigs. flak should be less effective against fighters, or fighters should have more health, or they should build faster/cost less antimatter.aside from those minor things I think the game is peachy.

While I agree the Advent are WAY too overpowered, and need to have more of the middle ground (the vessels that arent capitals) ironed out. The whole idea behind the Advent is that they overwhelm both Vasari and TEC. According to the Game. Advent are 1000 yrs ahead of TEC tech. And Im assuming the Vasari havent changed much considering theyve been on the run for god knows how long.

Instead of demanding a more equal playing field all the way across. Consider how it would effect the overall storyline.

No where in the lore does it even say that the Advent ever fought the Vasari let alone overwhelm them. I don't know where you got that from.

Late game the Vasari are actually better suited to fighting the Advent because of Phase Missiles and suicide Subverters.  TEC does have the ability to overwhelm Advent up to a point, but when Advent reaches a certain critical mass, it can destroy a much, much larger TEC fleet.

Repulse shuld be same as distort, no cap effect.

period.

no disussion needet.

PS: Vasari lategame rape advent, anyone who disagrees is retard.

Using bobmers in 3 waves instead of one wave is the key to sink halycons.

And this is why you bring more than 1 Halcyon along when you see late-game bomber spam.  With two Halcyons (and presumably enough antimatter) you can stagger their TK push so that there is no longer an opening.  I still think Advent is the strongest faction late game, but Vasari are definitely well suited to take them on.

Armistice completely stops all fighting, whereas repulse pushes low-ranged units away.  Similar in some respects, but not comparable.

I do agree, however, that repulse is definitely more in line with capital ship abilities than cruiser abilities.

that would result in an entirely different strategy of running your whole fleet into the enemy fleet and pushing away all non caps leaving the caps there, separated from support cruisers almost as f***ed as when they get pushed around.

I do think that repulse should affect caps, just the force of the push should vary. The velocity of the pushed object should be its acceleration or max speed * X. So that cap ships don't get tossed as far and can regain control much quicker than smaller vessels.

I like to think that it is more or less  ... > advent > vasari > TEC > advent > ...

What do people think of the new major balancing update?

But you would lose all your momentum moving toward the guardian (and be getting accelerated in the opposite direction of travel simultaneously).

From the skill description's point of view this wouldn't make much sense. It's a telekinetic ability by the guardian's adepts to push away objects. And idea that just struck me is that there could be a target cap (if there isn't one already I don't think there is, please confirm) since the adepts can only concentrate on a number of ships. Also the thing that I already mentioned that larger targets (HCs and Caps) should be pushed a shorter distance and for a shorter duration also allowing them to recover more quickly. It's logical that the psy adepts would only be able to push these objects with a limited force.
