Maybe grab corvettes and build a large number at your HW to stop it from building?

Somewhere i read 20 light frigates can kill it if its not supported by a repairing skirantra.. If you cant find a way how to destroy it, try to use it against someon and see what he is doing if he can destroy it try to copy what he did, anyway buncs of corvettes can deal with that thing if you were paying attention and started killing that stuff right from the beginning of building. A capital ship with attack ability can do a great work in it, I am recently trying Vasari in skilled multiplayer (although i haven't really played that much skilled 5v5), and i had an enemy starbase on my homeworld, the other player could upgrade 2-3 things on it but my disassemble nanites or what the heck its name on the Jarrasul Evacuator killed it in the last second (my capitalship was killed too but my HW was saved..)

Yes, but. Yes because killing that stuff is way easier than killing the starbase, BUT because you wont expect a coloony frigate going to your homeworld in the first minutes, and its hard to spot enemy ships that are not attacking, because scouts are the same category, and you are doing your own stuff like researching building upgradin, worrying on how to survive against the incoming Vasari attack etc and its very easy to miss that stuff and only spot the strange colored stuff under your home planet.. and thats way too late if you have nothing already there. I must admit I can't pay attention every second of my games and look everywhere, and i like to have a look on my allies, enemies, other planets and planning, not always looking for incoming colony frigates.

malice share damage between affected ships, with who we share it here vs 1 base?
en.aura give small buff on 1st lv., it good work with big fleet, but better use bonus bomber squad for more dps on start

tnx all for answers

for TEC i`m found the marza give good dps support with her incendiary shells, before i`m always start game akan or sova caps 
for advent this is hard work 

Usually you can get enough LFs to deal with it...carrier caps with bombers help, but aren't necessary...space egg with nanos, marza, or even radiance can get enough DPS to help significantly, and all those caps are pretty strong leads regardless....

The key is simply fleeting early...scrap the capital ship factory, get 2 factories on HW ASAP....fleet fleet fleet...I personally suggest LFs over corvettes (though certain Vasari strategies favor corvettes)....if you are fleeting ASAP then it isn't too bad to counter (though scouting scouting scouting helps you dearly)...

The biggest problem really is that the mere threat of a migrator at any time can put you in a huge predicament...it's easy to have enough fleet to pop a building Orky, but the problem is having that fleet there in time...you may want to attack or move your fleet in a different direction, but you know that if you do you'll be hosed cause an Orky will then pop up on your planet...

You truly misunderstood the question, and starfishes likely will never kill an Orkulus alone.. And it would be a bad idea building them ad the enemy only has ships that are good against them, both light frigates and corvettes, and this is about the first 5-15 minute of game when you will not be able to access such expensive ships.

my apologies,  i forgot that this was referring to the first 15 minutes.

i was referring to how selucia said that even the threat of an orky is dangerous.  by 20-25 I usually have starfish, and you only need a couple to defend your planet from a vasari colony frig while your fleet's not there.  

By this stage in the game, opposing players will be shadowing the other with their fleets, so it's usually fairly easy to sneak through a few starfish (unless it's a choke point of course).  

Unless the opposing player has invested in static defenses or a few frigates around each planet (unlikley, since most players go all out attack), it's really easy to sweep a grav well of asteroids with starfish 'cause of their multidirectional attack abilities.

In addition, this tactic usually causes a response all out of proportion to the threat.  I've seen people pull a dozen or more frigates from their fleet to chase down the cruisers and this can be easily capitalized upon.  However, if the other person does not send a fairly substantial force after them, the starfish can do a great deal of damage, since they can attack while moving in any direction and have a massive range.  

The effect of all that is that it forces your opponents hand.  It gives them a pair of crappy choices to make:  Let them live for a couple of minutes and lose more resource asteroids, or go after them and stomp them out, but remove a substantial force from your fleet.  The tactic works well against any race, though against tec it's the best because of scarce strikecraft and the ability to outrange the starbase.

the point of using the starfish is that they give you a fairly reasonable counter to encroaching starbases while they also help keep your options open.

however, it only really works on random maps since there's alternate routes to go to reach your opponent's worlds

anyway, that's something i sometimes do to even up the odds when playing as advent.

It's called multitasking...

The strategy is all about deception and moving fast.  As you obviously know, most multiplayer games are set on fast game speeds, so reaction time is down.  Besides, it doesn't take long at all to cause enough damage to make it worthwhile.  The idea is to get as far in as fast as possible and to not engage if at all possible, and to only engage resource asteroids since they're weak and do a sizeable amount of economic damage when destroyed.  It also really helps to make a distraction while you're doing it.

Low risk-high reward about sums it up...

It's so hard to decide whether attack the building Orkulus and leaving my fleet vulnerable to the enemy ships, or let the starbase build up by retreating to save your ships. Usually Vasari players start with Skirantra that is good for repairing the building base or Jarrasul that will sneakily throw heavy damage on your capitalship so even if you kill the starbase your fleet will be heavily decimated and you may not be able to retreat your capitalship as well because of your focus fire on that offensive bullshit. Even with double sized fleet you can take so big losses.. not to say if he attacks on 2 planets simultaneously with the starbases..

Starbases have no antimatter until you give them certain upgrades.

Hm, has this been tested and confirmed?

hmm it is interesting, I always thought they damage even when there is 0 antimatter... strange, maybe the small amount of damage done by the radiance antimatter bomb or what is this name confused me to think it damaged the base..
