Reply to Possible Solution for Overpowered SCs in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

That sounds like a fair enough idea, BUT won't it still cause the problem of carrier spam ownage in the late-game? I'd still want Carrier's not being able to replace Strike Craft in an enemy grav well, and make Strike Craft cost a small amount of resources to replace. (30 credits, 15m/c) Also I wouldn't want the Carrier upgrade to be further behind than about 5 labs. This idea could actually shealth buff the capital carrier because now they'll be more important to a carr

Reply to Sova, Halcyon, Skirantra - Do Capital Carriers suck or what? in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

I think people here are nitpicking at the idea and then pretending the idea sucks. To Marc Paris , Star Destroyer's are not Carriers they are more like Kol's and Kol's can carry 1-2 SC which is fine. Sova is more like a Battlestar, where it carries multiple SC wings.We all know how a Battlestar has a lot of SC, plus unrivalled Flak capabilities ripping apart any Cylons getting in the Flak shield. (so no its not weak against SC) <span style="

Strike Craft stances? That is a great idea mate. That would solve a lot of issues, and we know this can be done as in Entrenchment the Fleet Management option is implemented for all regular ships. I'd glad to see people making this a better and better idea. Keep them coming! As long as the Developer's ignore the demagogues in this thread, they should see this is a promising novel idea!

I don't think anyone wants to nerf Carriers to Oblivion. We need them to hard counter LRM spam big time, just not... insanely effective as they are right now. [e digicons]x_x[/e]

[quote who="VarekRaith" reply="22" id="2067709"] Quoting CreditSuisse, reply 21Hey Howdidudothat, How about you spam Capital Carrier Ships instead of the easily spammable Light Carrier we all know is too cost-effective. I'd have no problems with Capital Carrier Ship and in fact I think they need to be buffed. Regardless of anything strike craft should be able to be soft countered or at least prevent you from getting annihilated by not wielding any of your own strike

A 10% buff to hull points/shields of all Capital Ships is too much to ask? really? wow, people must love their frigate/light carrier/ HC spam. [e digicons]x_x[/e]

No Developr is actually gonna sign up. I hope you know that. Winning your little game tonight proves nothing, there are so many factors involved. The state of the carrier's now is ruining gameplay not the steps needed to fix them. Developers know better than to listen to a single Demagogue trying to prove that he must be right cuz I can do it.

You guys don't get it. You can't expect players to jump thru 5 flaming hoops, juggle 3 bowling pins while singing a ballard to counter carriers. Can Carriers be countered - not really, at least not cost-effectively and like you mentioned you need your OWN CARRIERs to counter. Phase Jump inhibitors are expensive to make and research (he can get 3 Light Carriers for the research + the inhibitor). Also you have to micro 100% more than the carrier dude who just jumps in and

We're not even advocating for that here, we want some kind of "weak" Flak equivalent to 1 or 2 Flak Frigates on each Capital Ship here, and then let the Mothership Cap serve a good battle purpose by giving it moderate flak ability.

Right.... , which explains why in the beta 3 change log they did just that. The developers obviously see that Carriers are a big issue, Carrier are not useless if they can't rebuild their SC, but finally balanced. I cannot understand why People don't want Flak on Starbases, it very common sense, same goes for Capital Ships.

Carriers will become a dead weight then? Any deadweight unit will be toss out of the fleet and replaced by flak probably. Also what is the point of further neutering damage against structures?

[quote who="Astax" reply="13" id="2066844"]I thought about additional strikecraft types, but it becomes very complicated. We now have 3 different squads, yes there is an advent squad that turns into mines. If you add addtional strikecraft then fighters would no longer be fighters, sicne you would have to remove their ability to kill other strikecraft and make then antilight variant assault craft. Also it woudl be hard to balance 3 squads mroe so than 2 squad types.&nbsp
