Well I hope devs read this. It's long, but I think it has to be. It explains how your people that tear apart your game to play to win understand it. I'm sure you guys play it for fun, and it is fun. IF it wasn't fun, I wouldn't be playing it. It's pretty much the only game i'm playing now, and have been playing for months! But really, we're basically playing a different game than you guys are .. (And anything to improve the competitive game shouldn

no it's not fucked up. Normal mitigation is 57%. Lets say 60% for ease. So you take 40% damage. If you take 4% less, 4 is 1/10th of 40. So you take 10% less damage. Advent getting nearly 90% mitigation(with gaurdians and all tech) isn't taking 1/10th damage, it's taking 1/4th, as you should be comparing it to the other races have 57%. The math is correct, you're just adding it up wrong. What you're missing is if they could take 8% less instead

Ban Uranium - 235 for being stupid. He's started flame wars in like multiple threads now.

Well GE has just never beat Clan X.. Or nor has anyone. Getting off that Malice+Brilliance solidified the win is all, they would of won anyways surely. Yeah Malice+Brilliance is incredibly powerful do not just to the 2k damage spread 24%, but because the damage keeps overlapping because of Brilliance AOE. You have multiple targets taking the splash damage from brilliance,e spreading the damage all over. Brilliance isn't overpowered by itself.. but it is with Malice. Wh

But the button is shown in the tutorial...

You aren't going to have steal AM by the time someone hits with embargo rushes... what the hell. Jesus if you don't know strategy why do you post on the strategy forum? You're confusing newbies.

Advent shield mit tec is EXTREMELY good. It makes you take 10% less damage than normal at level 2. If it was 8% advent would be able to take something like 1/20th damage over their current 1/10th and tec's 1/3rd.

Uhh.. you don't get 4 upgrade of phase missiles in 1vs1. That total goes against the point you where making.

What?.. That's wrong. JAvs are better supply-for-supply than assailants.

colony frigate for tec and advent have an ability to capture them for free. vasari's scout has the same ability, though it takes 50% more antimatter.

Caps are mostly just bad because lrms eat them so easy. :/

Or Jesus' third cu---.. And direct2drive is worse than steam i think. :/

Phase stabs dont help trade i'mc ertain. Trade is a set income/sec you can view by hovernig over your credits. (Isn't this explained in tutorial?) IT's both from more, and distance. All trade ports get the same amount based on the longest possible path between two of them (measured in jumps)

HM beat me to it.. yeah do what he said =] You should of gotten a confirmation email form stardock. What might of happened is you typed in the wrong email address though. :/

no... I was being sarcastic. :| *sigh* Nevermind.

Thanks for the PM.

No. You're wrong. Compare them to a siege cap.

Fleet size needs to be Normal, IMO. Build rate could be normal as well.. but Fast is fine. Maelstrom is a good 3v3 map. Razor's Edge should be in the 2v2 list not just 3v3. (It's only 20 planets, 2 lanes, small enough for 2v2 definitely, and how it plays as 2v2 can be very interesting.) And I think fire/ice is an interesting 2v2 map.. but maybe I'm alone on that one. For Maelstrom and Razor's Edge 2v2 I'm sure those should be up there. [quote]Ha

Bombers are about 3x better if you micro them, but still suck when made 3x better. :|

Winning clan gets Demigod beta access early, long before the summer pre-order beta maybe? ;p

The Novalith can be good in really really long and big games, especially multistar. While it says it hits within the soalr system, actually you can hit planets at another star it just takes about an hour to reach there. :) So in a game that's 3+ hours long, you could actually build some at the 2 hour mark and be bombing away.

[quote]If the shield lowered the effect of ALL superweapons it would be pretty damn good to use for that.[/quote] This is a better idea I think.. I'm not sure. Yeah the shield lowers bombing damage too, but the thing is if someones hitting your planet hard and bombing it LATE GAME (you aren't getting shield up early) then they've probably decimated your fleet first. If not, you could just have a culture there so they don't cap it. Maybe it's useful on huge mul

Right.. Siege needs double damaged. That's something different. Why do the techs have to suck against the PROPER siege caps that damage planets like things should, because Siege Frigs are completely worth it and only a newbie would build them? But what he said is too much. I think population dropping slower is better.

[quote]There is a real difference between these weapons:It is the speed of the projectiles.Missles take longer to hit their targets.This matters in regards to focus fire, so be careful not to "overkill" when using missle type weapons. Other than that.. the specifics of the weapon are not important, it's only the damage type OF THE SHIP that matters as Annatar11 shows.That's a very good point - I'm surprised no one mentioned this yet. Missile's are a bit more effort to micro[/quote] Unt
