It's things like this that make me feel that there should only be one Orkulus Rex at a time.

Imagine trying to destroy a phase stabilizer structure. Then imagine trying to kill a late game upgraded Orkulus instead. It makes a quantum difference in mobility for 2 factions instead of 1 and their reinforcements. I've never seen it though as I say; it just sounds supremely OP. Fun, but OP.

I agree with the OP. Coincidentally I just found out the most ridiculous tactic using rebel vasari.

Kostura to opponent's home world - then jump in with Orky.

Take out everything - then jump in 25 seige frigates and wipe out planet in 30 seconds. Then retreat the whole kaboodle before the enemy has a clue what hit them or simply walk your starbase and siege frigates onto the next planet. Rinse and repeat like some horrible cancer in their back yard. I clocked 4 worlds before there was any serious resistance from their recalled fleet at which point I just retreated having caused tens of thousands worth of damage. At which point my other starbases came in on the periphery worlds... Needless to say the game was over anyway because I had jumping starbases... 

Someone tell me this isn't game breaking? It's game breaking enough that with rebel vasari you effectively have 5-10 Titans floating around bashing everything in sight. I don't bother playing as any other race now unless I want to give myself a handicap.

If u want to balance this i'm afraid you have to remove the coolest ability of the vasari: Take the orkulus phase stabeliser ability away... You can still make it up by for example also disable the enemy's starbase on impact.

But then you can't jump to whatever planet you desire. If u still want to do this then you first have to get or, as rebel a starbase with phase stabeliser jumping trugh a few hostile planets. or with loyalists with the Titan and then creat a phase tunneler on the planet you wish to attack. Then it is still possible but if you manage to do that, you clearly deserve this attack! (p.s. for both factions when the antorak capital ship level 6 gets by, but what are the odds of that?!)

As much as I HATE to agree to any kind of Starbase Nerf, this kinda seems legit.........Maybe a debuff to damage, regen, armor that applies after each jump?

Or make it take the destabilization damage an enemy ship takes when leaving a gravity well with an enemy starbase in it every time it makes a jump, so it can't just blow through?(Hope you get what I mean by that.)

This could be explained by the fact that the Starbases weren't designed to jump through Phase Space.  (Yeah, most of you don't seem to care about the lore, but some of us do.)
