so TEC have their LRMs, vasari have their Skirantra advent have....well whatever they have ive always thought LRM was best of its class i do have a question JJ, in ur LRM vs Assailant test did you use cluster munitions or charged missiles at all ? cluster warheads or munitions (whatever its called) makes the LRM great against large numbers of units
Uncrustable
noobs play this all the time. it is a stupid concept...everyone teams with everyone a few qiut and its over within 10mins. Ive been in one game and it went exactly as said. will never do it again lol PUG is the only way to go.. one thing i cant stand tho is when people who refuse to capt then go and complain about who there captain picked...lol kinda retarded
a much bigger problem with diplomacy more so than the fleet supply costs of envoys is the time in which pacts can be offerered. Even after all the research it still takes forever to get enough relationship points to offer the pacts. most games, even 5v5 are well over before a player even gets half way up the 'pact-tree' i really dont think that fleet supply cost is an issue another thing i dont like is OP skirantra...but i suggest buffing its counters instead of nerfing the sk
i cant log in either...been like this for several hours :( FIX IT PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[quote who="Mecha-Lenin" reply="1" id="2854019"]It's incredible that good counters haven't spread already, there are numerous people using them. Just look around.[/quote] good counters haven't spread because there simply aren't any. as tec LRM kill caps very efficeintly if your oppenent is stupid enough to let this happen, but the skirantra can outrun LRM and if the caps are paired with a few ruiners (vas mine layers)...well goodluck and contra
Thanks to all
so 100 damage at 1 burst does 100 damage and 100 damage at 100bursts still does 100 damage ? this makes no sense...
Was wondering if anyone knew how burst count works in the entity files. Does it do its damage per bank multiplied by the burst count? Or does it do its damage per bank divided by the burst count?
thanks harpo99999
thankyou i got it to work this mod is great except some of the ship roles are just retarded lol i fix them ;) is it possible to make the executor a ship instead of a starbase?
can someone help with converting the binaray files in the gameinfo of this mod to text so i can edit? for my own personal prefrences ;) thanks...
JohnnyC231 is a skirantra whore, not a tec player ;)
[quote]scramble bombers, however, requires no effort and no skill, it simply is...[/quote] very true, why EVERYBODY does it i however do not and WILL NOT build or use a skirantra. I ask others to join my cause, play as vasari and DONT build 3 skirantras for once
Note that the dunov does the second most damage in planet bombing for TEC,,,2 of them with sheild restore make quick work of enemy planets and keep each other healthy (get the sheild upgrades) also they work well alongside hoshikas in planting a SB in enemy territory,,,again using sheild restore magnetize is the weaker ability,,,use emp pulse instead, it drains AM and sheilds from the target. and it is AOE so its great used on a group of carriers i have beaten skilled
Thankyou Kryo, it just seemed odd that only hours after the server came back on it crashed again. However now it is clear that the two 'hiccups' were not related. Now to fix the OP Skirantra ... >)
To whichever paid employee it may concern At 3pm US EASTERN TZ the diplomacy server took another large dump on all the players online (including me). It was down for ten hours last night and finally came back online earlier today. It remained down for only about 5min. But games in progress were obviously lost and this is not helping the already small community Developers i speak for everyone who plays diplomacy online, PLEASE FIX IT lol we love this game
try a 2 dunov start...use emp to keep the skirantras anti matter down to where they cant use scramble bombers, and sheild restore to keep them alive. At level 3 your dunovs will each have 2 fighter squads also. Believe it or not this actualy works in online games, however it requires a bit of skill. The dunov is TECs 2nd best planet bombing capt also. Another strat against 2 skirantras is a kol and a sova. Use flak burst from the kol and heavy fighters from the sova. U
I dont think they care :(
The diplomacy server has been DOWN for over TEN hours now... DEVS WTF...have you not noticed ?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i was forced to smurf when people started stacking teams against me because they thought i was too good :P and lately i cant even play any 1v1s without smurfing becasue of this i still think smurfing hurt the community but some people smurfed to get out of 'stacking' rather than the other way round
its not newbs who piss me off online but newbs who refuse to listen and think they are not newbs that are annoying and lead to booting and negative treatment. a couple basic tips to twighlight. build lots of ships but few capitals (1-2 is enough) keep your fleet alive by retreating when necisary and scout scout scout i would help you on ICO twilight as long as you listened... as for smurfing YES it did very much contribute to the decline of sin
there was over 60 people on diplomacy alone this past sunday (a good part of the day). and it was the second weekend in a row where i played atleast 4 5v5s sins is coming back sunny if you dont play anymore why are you sticking around the forums so aggressivly?
ICO is currently growing. fact
repair heals everything, incuding itself and strikecraft this is why its the best heal ability in the game. i dont think any other ship in the game can effectivly heal itself while simultaneosly repairing ships around it. so 2-3 lvl7 skirratras are tough nuts as they are constantly getting healed
man from space...lol what are you smoking man? (i want some ;)) LF are stronger now they than we have ever been (though thats not saying much) and carrier caps have been buffed for BOTH entrench and diplo and to all those who cry rivers over OMG SPAM! this is an rts and in all rts spam is indeed a part of the game if you lose to spam however that simply means you are not as good as the one who is apamming because all you need to do is scout and have a counter ready :P<
