The 13.5 seconds for bombers is actually the time it takes weapons to recharge. If the bombers are out of position when their weapons recharge and get phase, it'll speed up their attacks, yes.
If they are vasari, they might have their phasic shields turned on.
[quote] it will take you under 15-35 seconds (matters what direction its heading) to kill a level 10 cap (if the cap has no anti-fighter abilities) with 40 bombers, even if he has 35+ flaks the cap will die, [/quote] Unless - let's just throw this out there - there are Kol Battleships Kortul Devastators Iconus Guardians Advent Capital Carriers (forget the name) All of those make such an effort difficult at best.

I think they should just reduce civilian health on, well, everything.
[quote] A 2 player alliance playing against a 3 player alliance should not be disadvantaged just because of numbers. The 2 players even if they have a better economy, more planets and more skill should not be forced to have 50% less ships. It just doesn't make sense any way you look at it. [/quote] If the 2 players have superior economies they can either pummel the 3 under with faster unit replacement or they can support a higher level of fleet cap research. It's simply not the case
You're forgetting Heavy Fighters, which makes Sova fighters tough and makes em deal more damage. More precise damage stats: TEC 44.4 dmg / 13.5s 3.29 x 5 -> 16.4 dps 25s build time Vasari 76.9 dmg / 13.5s 5.7 x 3 -> 17.1 dps Advent 34.4 dmg / 13.5s 2.55 x 7 -> 17.8 dps However, all researches were not created equal. The TEC missile upgrades are easier to get and far cheaper than Advent beam upgrade
You can get the unpacked versions in the mod pack. Fighters do great damage to LRMs, but bombers don't. If your opponent is visibly spamming LRM frigates, make sure fighters are your strike craft of choice. Flak Frigates perform reasonably well against LRMs, presumably on the guideline that LRMs are lightly armored and vulnerable to light weapons. Capital ships suffer a damage penalty against LRMs, but their abilities dont. Cleansing Brilliance will smash just about a
Humility, your post is perfect in every way.

This [url=http://files.filefront.com/CapitalShipModv1rar/;9617871;/fileinfo.html]mod[/url] file always crashes for me. It's not mine, and it works for other people, but this version of it just always causes me to crash near the start of a game. I tried it on all map sizes and with varying graphics settings. I can't find the minidump files anywhere; i checked all the directories that I could think of and ran a global search for *.dmps. Might be a similar problem to the Vista screenshot i
The game does autosave multiplayer games, you can load that save.
The missile ships counter light frigates. Light frigates counter support ships.
It's usually best to target frigates first. Capital ships can escape meaning you suffered casualties for not much achievement. Even if you kill it, frigates are a greater portion of fleet firepower than capitals are - so you will still be taking damage at a high rate. Focus firing is great, but note that you will lose more damage to mitigation than you might otherwise. Against human players there are specific counter strategies to this as well, like tactical use of Dunovs. Som
If I'm reading the file right: level 1: 20% chance to phase 1 second every 4 seconds level 2: 30% chance to phase 1 second every 4 seconds level 3: 30% chance to phase 1 second every 3 seconds. If that makes no sense to you, try: level 1: invincible 5% of the time. level 2: invincible 7.5% of the time level 3: invincible 10% of the time
Don't underestimate Assault Specialization. It deals 60-180 bonus damage every time you hit a module.
Oh look, it's daton.

My point is that 15 siege frigates cost immense amounts of resources and they SHOULD be blowing up your friggin planet if you arn't willing to invest the least actual effort in defending them. The point of the novalith cannon is that there is an unstoppable method of killing your planet that actually costs less than 15 siege frigates. While we're at it, raid fleets penetrating PJI-strongholds is the principle method of countering Novalith Cannons. Pirates used to throw 10 siege
The heavy cruiser is different than the other cruisers... It's rather brutally effective at direct combat. Spamming frigates is well and good, but researching the supply techs will cut into your economy. More frigates gives you a temporary advantage, but you have to make a pretty big dent to prevent your opponent from replacing losses faster than you.
[quote] 2) A capital ship with an ion cannon, capable of great damage. This ship would be huge and slow, but with this powerful weapon. The balance would be guaranteed by high cooldown time and by the fact that only one cannon ship could be built per player [/quote] The Advent's Radiance Battleship has an ability called Cleansing Brilliance. It's essentially a super beam cannon. Try it out.
Phasic shields are supposed to auto deactivate - I'm almost positive they did in beta 4. I noticed my frigate factories had this issue after I resumed a multiplayer saved game.
Yeah, the Subverter has some abilities in that regard. But you're still left with the early phase missile researches being mostly useless.
[quote] What, are you nuts? Your in-system defenses aren't going to kill 15 siege frigates. In-system defenses just aren't worth jack crap (that's the 3rd severe problem with the game, in addition to the PJI and the ridiculous siege frigate). I have no idea what game you people are playing, but it certainly isn't the same game I'm playing. [/quote] 15 TEC siege frigates cost 7800 credits, 1050 metal and 900 crystal. That's significantly more expensive than a Novalith Cannon, which ki
Also, carriers rebuild fighters at a pretty good clip as long as they are not in combat.
