Gas Giants still going to be in the game?

I know what you mean lord, think the sound effects for them are the best too. We want more autocannons.

I think the main thing is that the Cruisers need some boost in firepower. Why not put a few autocannon turrets on a cruiser or two. Why only the Kol? I like the cobalt the way it is, just give it kinetic weapons. I think Lore wise the TEC have too many laser based weaponry for a race of low tech traders. Tho not TEC related the pirates should get a few custom ships to make them stand out. Sometimes I think their just another empire trying to kill me until I take a close look.

The Original Marza may not look as good as the new one, but had better firepower.

I understand that their civilian ships that have undergone refits, but why only put on pop guns for cruisers. If the TEC are in such a desperate situation that they are facing a two front war. Does it make sense to put only low level weapons on a cruiser? And I understand that we need to balance with the other races, but so far things aren't looking so good. The Kodiak is supposed to be a combat cruiser and its not worth 3 cobalt frigates. I truly do understand that the TEC are

The only major problem so far that I see other then the ocassional bug is ship design. You created this interesting back story, and for the TEC it seams that their fighting this uphill battle. First the Vasari and now the Advent, troubling times ahead indeed! But I have to ask the question, why aren't they all dead? Did they spam the Kol Battleship? Because a race of people in a desperate situation don't design a cruiser that has no firepower. I don't care if their commanders don't like

I just want to say this. According to the Lore: The TEC have been hit pretty hard by the Vasari and now the Advent. They seem to be a people between a rock and a hard place. So why would they design a Cruiser that doesn't have necessary firepower? I mean according to your back story the TEC are in a desperate situation, so why the hell are they wasting resources on Cruisers that are less effective then 3 Cobalt Frigates? So its worth while to waste resources on a command cruiser that do

I have to agree with Nickname, cruisers really need some boost in firepower to make them a usefull fielding warship. I understand that in the sins universe that the commanders of cruisers don't get in the "dirty" work. But lets just say that the 2nd in command shot the captain and ordered upgrades.... Third game so far, and the only one I field and I see the Ai field is the Carrier Cruiser. The Repair cruiser is fine. But the command cruiser seriously needs some more firepower. And the

Its worth a try. Also if the game goes in that route, maybe the pirates could recieve a few unique ships in the cruiser class that could be for sale or "rent". Giving races the option to purchase Combat Oriented Cruisers.

If you are going to rename the class don't call them Support Cruisers, just call them Support Ships. Support Cruiser still implies a high level combat vessel. The new question I do have is: Is their a 4th class of ships to be introduced in the future? Giving the Capital class factory another build menu.

Thats cool, tho I still think they need a little boost in weapons. On a side note what is the special ability of the Carrier Cruiser? It has antimatter?

I understand the units are supposed to fit certain roles Blair, the only problem is that one would think Cruiser's are supposed to be a little more effective in combat than a frigate. I don't know if this makes sense but here is my take on the issue. Frigates - Very specialized roles: Such as combat, fighter defense, colonization etc... Cruisers - More powerful specialized ships: Good at combat but also have a few abilities. Battleships - A truly multi-role specialized

Craig will the cruisers get a boost in firepower specifically the Carrier and Command Cruiser?

Well the general opinion is that the Carrier and Command Cruiser need an increase in firepower. So yeah, either extra squadron or flack guns for the Carrier. And either a massive boost in firepower and better cool-down for the Command Cruiser, or pop a few Auto Kinetic Turrets on it.

Right on lordkosc, The Cruiser Carrier could use the extra squadron and a flak ability.

Cruisers need some "upgrades", I find it a little disconcerting that cruisers can have a tough time dealing with frigates. A cruiser is a notable step up from a frigate, this should be paramount. The Cruisers firepower should be increased. The Carrier, should be given another squad but make it a bit more expensive. The Repair Cruiser just needs a bit of a boost in shields and firepower. The Kodiak is good, but could use a bump up in firepower. And the Command Cruiser desperately needs a

I like the Beta 2 so far, the new additions are amazing. However the concerns I do have are as follows: 1. The Cruiser Carrier needs the addition of a weapon, or the ability to wield more then one squad. Through research or other means. 2. The Command Cruiser is nice, however extremely underpowered. Pop a few Auto Kinetic Turrets on it, or increase its laser damage. These are cruisers by the way. 3. The Kol Battleship, has its turrets been replaced? It seams that in t

Just wondering when we get to play with that mysterious yellow button? Or is it still in the phase, that once you press it the universe implodes...

3 pm, my guess.

I meant, like a time tomorrow.

Do we have an estimated time the New Website and Beta 2 go online?

So how many new ships are in this new section? 8? 6? 4? 1-10?

My question is this new class a separate build menu, or just new ships added to the current menus?

Thrawn has reveled his weakness, Biplanes... Now where could one get these in the dead of space?
