Excuse me...  Did you just suggest that PMS was good?  And did you also suggest that Power Surge deals massive damage?  Neither is correct.  PMS is a bad ability, as is PS when you are talking about damage boosting.  Its power is in its ability to heal itself and vastly improve the power of DS.

Think about it...  What would happen if you tried having 12 of any caps fire their primary damage ability?  Ever wonder what 12 nanos would do to you?  How about 12 Det AM's?  And better yet, what about 12 SB's?  That kind of an ability deals monstrous damage.  Think of it this way...  Each squad has three ships and each deals 6 DPS I believe.  That means 18 DPS per squad.  You can then get 3 squads at once from SB so that increases it to 54.  Don't forget though that it can overlap with other uses and I believe the number is 3, so that puts it up to 162.  Then multiply by 12.  This is 1944 DPS.  That would be devastating.

Look, Itharus...  PMS is actually justifiably worse than the standard weapons on the Vulk.  The Vulkoras has the highest PM damage output of anything smaller than the Orkulus with it maxing out at 78.  Now, with maximum buffs, PM's can effectively deal around 240% of their listed damage.  This means that you are effectively dealing 187.2 DPS passively.  Then throw that in with the twelve and you have 2246.4 DPS.  That is under the best circumstances, but those are incredibly rare, so the more common thing is 170% which is a total of 1591.2 DPS which is worse than the DPS of Scramble Bombers and bear in mind that the Vulk's high level PM batteries are more powerful than PMS is.

Another good option to look at is how much these things actually deal in one volley as at this point you are reaching critical mass...  Bombers have a cooldown between 10 and 20, so that means that you multiply the 2k DPS by 10-20 and get 20-40,000 damage per volley.  Mitigated, which knocks down about 75% of incoming damage yields 5-10,000 damage dealt.  That is enough to take down any capital that is weaker than a Kol, and even then, it is cutting it awfully close.  Oh, and my I remind you of something else which I forgot to mention thus far...  Bombers deal PM damage which can crank up their damage by an additional 70%.  Once you get that, anything you train them on will die.

PMS deals 300 damage, so that means that with 12 Vulkorases, you would deal a maximum of 3600 damage to any single target.  That is not DPS, but rather instant damage.  Even if you multiply it by 7 which I believe is the maximum target cap, you only deal 25,200 DPV which could be spread across anywhere from 7 enemies to potentially 84.  Either way, this ability sucks.

The Vulk's PM batteries have a cooldown of around eight seconds if I remember right.  This gives them a maximum of 624 DPV.  Combine that with the +70% and the 12 ships and you get 12,729.6 DPV.

If you refuse to accept this, I'll gladly look at the code itself and find the exact numbers, but that ought to give you the gist of why you are wrong.  The only thing you have to fear from 12 Vulks would be their ability to take down any planet within seconds.  That is what you would have to fear of them, nothing else.

EDIT: I discovered that the maximum damage for PMS is 600, so all numbers need to be doubled of what I said for it.  However, even with these new numbers, it is still not that good.

If you remove the PMS target cap, you make the Marza'a ultimate less of an advantage.  (Maybe raise it to 1.5-2x its current targets though)  They should be phase missiles, tough.  (Honestly, I didn't know they weren't)

As to SB, the only real options to counter it are

Destroy the Skirantra(Best Idea)

Flak/Fighters

Use abilities that drain antimatter on the Skirantra

Bring your own Skirantra to nulify the enemies advantage
