^^^Thank you

If you play as the TEC the best cap balance is 4 Kols, 4 Akkens, 4 Marzas, and 4 Sovas. Don't even bother with Dunovs. all they do is waste prescious fleet space. Also, once you have your fleet built up, get rid of any Krosovs you have. They cost the same as carriers and arent nearly as useful. As far as combat ships go, about 60 Kodiaks, 20 Cobalts, 30 Javelins, and 30 Gardas should do fine. 20 Hoshikos are the optimal number for them. Cielos have rather limited uses, so only build 5-10 of t

QUick question: Is the Orkulus on the Entrenchment exspansion?

I still like the TEC the most. Well balanced fleet, and they have the strongest Armor anf hulls. That and they can crank out tons of units fast because of their economy. If we didnt have fllet caps, I think they win through sheer numbers

This story is taking place at different times at different points. For instance, Kol is 8 years before the game, Archie is about 4 years, and the advent are about present or 5 years, depending on who he's talking about. Right, guywhoyoudontno?

Despite the advent strike craft and ability to capture enemy ships, i still prefer TEC and Vasari simply because you can build more ships. Drone Anima cost 21 fleet space and having a bunch of them drags your fleet down. TEC has the Novalith which is amazing when used properly and Vasari will always win head to head with a fully upgraded fleet (late game). Howver, all 3 are still very well balanced and I've learned the best tactics and strategies with all 3 so who I play as or against doesn't

^^^Consider this a warning though, they have a habit of not responding for long periods of time

^^^Given my economy it would take me about 5 minutes to do that [e digicons]:grin:[/e]

^^^I fell your pain man. Its sad when I have my fleet outnumbered 2:1 but can still completely destroy the others fleet, and we're the same faction!!

^^^Quick repair and to hide your fleet from the enemy until they arrived

[quote who="androshalforc" reply="3" id="2128591"]ill double check what i set the phase lane distance to in the editer altho i dont think i changed it at all its just that after about 30 mins of watching all these little blue dots trave from the halfway point to the quarterway point i got tired and quit the game while i love strategy games this was just too long with absolutely nothing happening [/quote] Thats why I always have a good book handy cause wh

While useful, sometimes they just get annoying. Example: when you set the Novalith to auto it will still hit the planet even though you may have it under control. Wouldn't you think you would be able of either detonating the shell early(like scrapping) or redirecting it? Especially since it is supposedly the pinnacle of TEC ordanance technology

Wouldn't it be nice to build as many ships as you could afford?[e digicons]:)[/e]

1-2 scouts, a bunch of light combat frigates, and either a battleship or colonization class capitol ship (depending on faction) Also, research trade ports as soon as possible. they are the key to expanding quickly. that and planet developement

Aside from being mentioned in some fan submissions in passing, Earth is never mentioned. Naeve is however. Maybe thats that capitol in the future?

If you truly want to have caps be put to full use, use them as cores of your fleets as the TEC. Just last night i won a battle where I was outnumbered 2:1 in both ship and strike craft, but I won because of my 8 cap ships.

^^^thank god for scout ships then, huh?

To add a bit of mystery to the game

^^^I'm gonna say the Grand Admiral

My only problem is the whole army-navy thing. Naval ranks should be used on ships, and army on planets if it gets that far. Aside from that, brilliant story

^^^missed it

[quote who="guywhoyoudontno" reply="20" id="2118278"] Quoting Ackerman74, reply 19 Im gonna guess those are Kol's? not yet, Kol isnt famous yet. They are the ships that will become Kols, though. [/quote] Keep it coming. With writing like this maybe u can be published as well

Im gonna guess those are Kol's?
