well as we all agree on this forum cap ships are not for the killing they are for their abilities,they exsist to support your frigs. and cruisers who do the killing,so radiance is a killing cap and thats why it takes last choice as my cap(by that i mean i get him when i have all other caps)animosity is not essencial for shield restore as your other caps can be victims of focus fire so vengance and shield restore are usable on other caps too. i thik of animosty as a last resort of saving oth

revalation is a good ship vs another advent since advent relays more to cap ships than other races,i can saftly say it is a cap killer,raiding ship and has a good dmg on his own,however against frigate/cruiser based fleet its not that great. for the p. histeria i think it fits to it style perfectly because it also does 40% dmg to pop. on the planet witch is huge credit loss. with clairvoyance you can jump from planet to planet and reduce their pop by 40% and move on. in your mai

i know malice is great and chose it with shield restore paralely,i dont find colonize good at mid game since mid game is when i make mothership,usualy in mid game i have lvl 7 halcyon ,lvl 5-6 rapture and lvl 4 mothership with 2 on malice and 2 on s. res. autocast turned off,15 disciples with steal antimatter,10 ilums(with illusion pref.),4 guards,and every thing else i collect with dominate

[quote]Eh, the progenitor, radiance, and rapture are probably the best 3 you can get at first, I'd argue.The progenitor is just a 1 man cap of doom. With just it in any fleet, you can take on a fleet twice your size with the BS that is "malice". (spreads 24% of all damage done to targets debuffed with malice, which is a no-limits chunk in a very large area, and sends it to all other ships debuffed). With radiance, except against vasari with deep-level military research completed, it is able t

i chose halicon as 1. just for lvl 3 energy aura all other abilities are so-so,good but nothing special. For me rapture is the best coz he complements every other advent cap. ship best(vengance with anymosity,vertigo is so good and universal ability witch complements any cap. that is victim of focus fire(60% less dmg)and esenceialy excelent debuff,con.aura (it works diferently than micr. aura from vasari carrier,squadrons dont have to be in aura range,however their hosts must,but it is good

ok about cheapest ship thing you are right it was in vanila where radiance was cheapest,in 1.2 its the same as other now about energy aura,it is always active,you dont need to spend antimater to have it and it aplays for all advent ships in a large radius around it.devastator has ablity that has biger bonus 75% on lvl 3 as well 250% shield restore,but that only is for him self,costs antimater and it lasts 25 sec.with lvl 3 ener. aura i had crusaders with 30 and iluminators 22-24 dmg(las

you se scauts with vasari and colony ships with tec and advent to capture mines on gas giants and asteroid belts

mothership is a good 1. choice for vasari coz their scouts capture mines from asteroid fields and gas giants,with advent youll still need colonizer frigate for that. early game if you spam diciples and all you need is clearing out 2 planets and asteroid for lvl 3 your fleet including cap. will be 15% stronger,now thats 3 weapon techs for all weapons,shield reg is good but sucks against focus fire and when you get guardians its not that vital radiance is the cheepest cap. so making

OK i am going to tell how and why i chose advent caps. 1. cap. choice=CARRIER Why? Energy aura. Many of you dont understand what it does,simply on 3. lvl it gives you +22% DPS to all advent ships(all use energy weapons except planet bombing) including carrier itself;basicly it is like teching 4.5 weapon damage techs for all versions of weapons. halicon carrier is a bad choice for carrier cruiser type of fleet,dont group it with carrier cruisers,he must be with frigates

actually they work great for me and i leave them on autocast and ai is smart when to use them.basicly they make assilants best LR frigate in game,trust me. with desolators lvl 6 ability you can destroy whole fleets under 30 sec as for visual effect,it is shown by green energy linking nearby enemy ships dont be confused with purple circle it makes no sence just leave them on autocast
