Updated again. The reason I deleted the descriptions is so that I can make changes. The simpler it is, the higher the chance I'll take the time to update the list.

Updated. I decided to just give up on descriptions and just rank everyone. Please comment and give me more names as you think of them.

Can you put somewhere that if the title of the game says Skilled, then you shouldn't join unless you do 2v1 hard AI.

Good things never die.

[quote who="wbino" reply="41" id="3250244"]And as I have stated before, my feeling is single players play for the role playing experience as opposed to MPers who play to win and only win.[/quote] Wait, people play this game just so they can get their ass handed to them? That explains everything!

Ok, this thread isn't about nerfing, it's about fixing a bug. Second, I think all cap ship abilities should target titans, so drop it.

Like the title says, but you can no longer target corvettes with the grav bomb from the egg. It wasn't always like this.

Just FYI, most skilled games have pirates turned off, so buying missions is a moot point Jim.

[quote who="ZombiesRus5" reply="13" id="3239981"]Un-nerf capital ships against titans (i.e. Add Titan in as a valid constraint anywhere a CapitalShip is for all abilities). Ion-bolt, Phase out hull, Blackout, Detonate AM(disable)...[/quote] This I agree with.

Mecha, stop trolling.

MB is not op. Each faction has a counter and the skill required to keep a Marza alive long enough to get a level 6 should be rewarded by you having to pay up and get a lvl 1 cap ship that can interrupt the ability.

[quote who="Seleuceia" reply="19" id="3235901"]Having level 2 (instead of lvl 1) of an AoE ability like Chastic burst or scattershot is a huge deal...it can make the difference between 60 LFs raping the titan and the titan raping 60 LFs... That extra level in the AoE abilities dramatically changes what frontliners can do with the fleet they already have, and may force them to completely redo their fleet composition.....[/quote] Funny, I can kill level 7 TEC rebel all day lo

Disagree. Pirate XP was already lowered, and you can only go from lvl 1 to lvl 3 with titan on pirate base, not a big deal. Your idea also impacts TEC loyalist, as they are defensive for a very long time and would rely on pirate/militia XP to level their caps.

[quote who="Seleuceia" reply="13" id="3228064"]Sacrifice trade and culture for jumping SBs (with no strings attached)...sounds like a fair trade considering they have SttC and mobile rulership...[/quote] Not all of us use SttC, and that tech has been nerfed enough to not make it worthwhile, at least to me. I've said it before and I'll say it again, using SttC is shortsighted should the game continue for any period of time.

I don't think I'm OK with tacking on phase engines to stabilize phase space. They seem like two totally different techs, and I really don't see the point of colony pods, especially with VR. I also think 3 upgrade slots it kind of high, but I'd be OK with it taking up two slots. I would be ok with maybe making the upgrade slot cost fleet supply (between 20-40), but I don't like the idea of cap ship slots. As for unlimited number as Sareth mention

[quote who="Senza32" reply="1" id="3227420"]This would also explain why the Advent has an inferior economy as they have to spend twice as much money at the Apple Store to get the same result the TEC and Vasari get.[/quote] Wow, right out of the gate. Well played.

I'm not here to beat this dead horse any more, and I think everybody is aware that I have been championing adding an upgrade slot for the SB. The reason I am making this thread is to give a clear presentation of the advantages of this idea and to provide an implementation strategy. Having an upgrade slot for each SB would do three things: The VR player will not have unlimited jumping SBs There is an additional cost for each SB that you want mob

[quote who="Seleuceia" reply="81" id="3223680"]It used to though, that's what he is referring to...it used to damage and disable all ships, and then it was thankfully nerfed...[/quote] Well that and there was no cap on superweapons, so you could just build 12 kostura and wipe out fleets. What's funny is that with the Kostura, you would see it coming and you could run. Wail doesn't give you an opportunity to run. Maybe that is the solution, give the enemy

[quote who="ZombiesRus5" reply="71" id="3222318"]What I do find marginally funny is Kostura's used to only lock down ships for a short duration and this was found OP. Now we can jump in a Titan and insta-level it by wailing their frigate fleet. Then AOE the hell out of any other frigate fleet with the Titan. [/quote] Exactly

[quote who="Seleuceia" reply="35" id="3221298"]I haven't personally seen someone use strip to great effect in v1.04 yet but I have heard accounts of a certain vasari whore who's name might rhyme with woohoo...from what I have heard, it seems like strip rushing as VL eco is still OP, just not as bad....[/quote] For the record, I didn't strip all that much, even pre v1.04. I just found it very short sighted as putting trade ports on the planet will give you better opti

[quote who="Seleuceia" reply="10" id="3221080"]I seriously question the competency of anyone who does not think wail is OP...I really do....these bullshit "oh wail is easy to counter, you only need fucking superweapons" tells me some people are speaking out of their ass without actually dealing with this game online... I know some of these "wail isn't OP" people play online and are skilled (Greg and Ekko) but, really gentlemen? I mean, really? Is it because AR have nothing else

Phase stabilizers are a prerequisite. The easiest answer to this whole problem is to add an upgrade slot that you have to buy for each SB you want to be able to jump. The added benefit is that you won't be able to have 8 upgrade slots filled with armor/weapons/debris vortex/frontal deflector. In other words, the SB won't be invincible.

So did I. Like I said, for whatever reason, having the Virtu software installed solved the problem.

Ok guys, so I built a computer about 4 months ago, and with all this discussions about minidumps, I would like to share with you some experience. With my new build, I minidumped often. I updated all my drivers, still nothing. Then, for whatever reason I decided to get the update for Virtu, you know, the shitty on-core graphics hybrid software. Guess what, the onboard graphics engine was crashing the game. So, piece of advice, get the latest Virtu and you won'
