How about the patch update?

Autocast for many disabling abilities improved. Hmmm, I was reading the patch again, I wonder if the range on these has increased? Can one of the devs further explain these "improvements", actually I'm thinking of a different devious spam-not LRMs.

[quote]@Scorpion, actually I think with these changes, it will be pretty much impossible for advent to counter LRM rush since Illuminators are crappy vs other LRMs (capship type damage) and they are tech 3.[/quote] Awe darn, well, maybe 1.04? wonderful, I have so much to look foward to :( I guess I will go back to playing the AI and using different strats.

[quote]@Scorpion, with this buff to LRMs all LRM type units will outrange turrets. As for hangars, a few flak can deal with them. Even if static D was much better than it is, are you really going to manage to static D every single one of your colonies without screwing up your econ?[/quote] That is a good question. I do like and play Advent, but I'm still trying to get a grip with countering the LRM rush without doing the same. Is there any other way with these changes in your opinion?

Yeah.. Advent relies on the defense vessal early in the game to stop enemy LRMs, as illums SUCK early game. They suck against light frigs, they suck against lrms, they suck against flak, they suck (early on) against caps. Later on they're good against caps, good against HC's, support cruisers. It seemed to me the devs were geniuses and intentially gave advent the good flaks for beating back LRM rushes so they could survive late game. I guess it was just coincidense. GG ad
