Banning of advent

from Sins Forums

for some reason I have encountered a couple of times when people try to ban the advent in a game.  its retarded, thats like banning the zerg in starcraft, they put 3 races in the game for a reason and even though illumispam can get a little ridiculuous at time unless ur a complete noob you can deal with it.  The advent are my favorite race (mainly because of the progenitor mothership for some reason) but still its bullshit that people try it anyways.  maybe i'm the only one that sees this but it has happened to me a couple of times: please discuss if this has happened to you!!!!

The problem is you gotta be nearby the starbase. If you're 2+ jumps away and he's brought his own small fleet with it, you're screwed.

He's free to take pot shots at you as you destroy the starbase OR his starbase makes it because you spend your effort killing off the fleet first.

If you're right there and can get to it as it starts, sure, counterable.

But that's not the problem. The problem is it takes a long time just to get to it while it's being constructed.

Considering your name and favorite race, top vasari...

 

Its not difficult for a vasari to fight off a SB rush.  They have nano for one.  2nd, they can build an SB of their own and provided they have the funds can always build and upgrade a SB faster because of the enemy well penalty.

lol Grey I wont deny that my opinion is a bit biased because vasari is my favorite race, but unlike you I do play all races recently I have been teaching myself how to play TEC and i have played a number of games as advent.

The only race i had problems taking out a SB with is Advent and as I said earlier it was because i went econ ( 2 civic labs at my HW)

He also got feed while i didnt i got about 1k hp left on the SB really i didnt blame that loss on the OPness of the vasari SB i blame it on my own stupidity. While my opinion may be biased about the SB yours may be too because you exclusively play Advent.
