A little bit more incentive to build Sova Carriers?

from Sins Forums
Start with a 3 capacity hanger that can lead to 5 or even 6?

Sovas can already go up to 6 command points

Plus, they are powerful combatants by themselves.

More incentive? It already has the biggest incentive, the coolest looking Capital ship


On a serious note just like Deadlyshoe said, it's not the sitting duck type of carrier, more like an assault carrier so to speak.

heres a bit of an incentive:
take the lasers from the Kol and put them on your bombers! (actually its quite cool to watch the buggers fly around and blast away with the lasers)

Does this stem from the Sova's role compared to carrier frigates, other capital ships, or just a general feeling?

I think the thought is that compared to the other, equally priced, capital ships you could buy instead, it doesn't seem good enough. Personally I like it for teh lookz but I have to admit i don't build them as much as i could

they become more than worth it later on, but by initial power alone they are VASTLY outclassed.

hey, is there a way to change the color of the Kol's laser?

Just find the appropriate texture (don't know which it is offhand) and recolor it, that should do the trick.

Yeah... I don't actually build the Sova anymore in favor of other warships. If fighters were the problem I'd just send a handful of Gardas.

I personally prefer the Sova over most of the other Battlecruisers at this point. They take a bit to come into thier own, but for defense they are tremendous, I load em up with bombers, and fully upgrade the bonus to fighters.

Lol Sova is the core of powerful fleet. - At level 10 they have crazy amount of bombers ,combined with the increased defence perk it makes 2 sovas(plus little bit of support) an invincible fleet .

a little bit, at least I think so, I'd rather build 3 cruiser carriers than a Sova right now, they just seem to pump out fighters faster...

Plus on top of the fact that the the cruiser carriers are a lot quicker and cheaper to build than a Sova Carrier. And I can have a Kol building while I prep my mini carriers. Granted they're sitting ducks and can die a lot quicker, but they're a hell of a lot easier to replace than the one cruiser that you possibly spent the last hour or so lvling up.
