I hate new players because there all SMURFS!!!!!

So says the "newbie" to ICO...

 Exactly- but newbie is an overstatement.

(Says the person who opens with a radiance.)

!? A Radiance is a PERFECTLY viable opening!!1one1!

It does no good vs halcyon carriers so you will die vs a player like Masteria1 because detonate anti-matter doesn't affect the passive ability "Adept Drone Anima"

To top it off a Progs colonization eco ability allows you to get those extra disciple and corvettes early game. This makes all the difference and enhances fire-power with malice or defense with shield regeneration which are all area of effect abilities (. Theres no better colonization cap that comes close to the Mother-ship so for an advent player to choose a B capital ship instead of an A+ is somewhat weird.)

Of course for those who need a change then a B class cap is alright -but a advent prog pro's macro will undoubtly overwhelm you with more units, area of effect damage and regenerative abilities late game.

Your either throwing strike craft with double halcyons , your prog or the combination of prog and another cap.

The radiance needs shield regen / vertigo, and shield projection to support its Energy absorptive armor and animosity.

The only true statement in the above paragraph is that Auqia does indeed tend to lead with a Halcyon...

The rest falls somewhere between "Zeus impregnated my mother" and "The Tooth Fairy was affected by budget cuts".....

I trolled RiddleKing. I can't believe you took me seriously after "!!1one1!."

.... every player used to die to master1a no mater what cap ship he used as an opener ....

For advent I only saw masteria1 open with 2 halcyons or 1 halcyon and a revelation in the modders game. For the other races its ok since they have eco bonuses etc.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I was baited!

Anyway seleuceia I don't think your worth the effort so keep opening with a radiance.
