[quote who="Darvroth" reply="3735" id="3294955"] Quoting HMS-ARKROYAL, reply 3734 although i still see my fleet building badgers Badgers are supposed to have a rear firing weapon which will be fixed in a future upgrade. While a little slower Badgers are a very good fighter and coupled with the cheaper AM and faster build time as compared to the Firebolt or Thunderbolts. We may have to tweak them a bit. I'll play with it and see about additional tweaks.[/quote] &nb
Update on the strike craft problem i was having. Seems that AM was the main issue, although i still see my fleet building badgers when i have not told them to ESPECIALLY when i'm building thunderbolts after i have selected a group of ships, it's not so bad if you go and do it 1 by 1 but that's not always an option. However i can live with that problem as there not so bad. keep up the work.
[quote who="TobiWahn_Kenobi" reply="3722" id="3294013"] We'll probably use the additional Weapons in rebellion for some Anti-Fighter capabilities. But thats up for discussion[/quote] Sounds good,even if you added more 'power' to the ships already holding anti-fighter weapons would be awesome.

There is a problem with strike craft. They are a real pain to build after you load a game. some capital ships refuse to build any at all and other ships refuse to build some certain types. Badger seem to be the most compliant, and thunderbolts seem the most hassle. AFTER A LOAD - a fresh game is perfectly fine. It's really annoying and impossible to win against EA without them even on easy AI as th

As a side note im on Diplomacy, so i'm guessing titans make a MASSIVE difference. I normally just do 1v1 (ai) and my normal pattern is to grab as many local planets as possible with the fleet i have, boost my resources then start a defensive fleet, once that is done i turn my attention to bolstering that with tech/research. Then i would start a second fleet for patrols/colonizing. and from that start setting up what i ne

I am pretty good at this game both in SP and MP so it's somewhat easy for me to take on the AI regardless of balance. This would help me see what you went for and if there are some balance tweaks I could me. [/quote] [quote who="Connoyt" reply="1431" id="3287503"] I think I kno

What do you mean by Jumpspeed? The speed it takes to jump from one system to another or the time it takes for the ship to enter hyperspace? If you mean the former, there's a reason for this. build jumpgates and research all jumpgate upgrade

Well, to balance this out will be key. And mightily difficult. But EA should try to counter with an array of cheap as chips ships (Artemis) and I totally advise not to use the "First capship free" setting! Quoting HMS-ARKROYAL,

Like the PhaseGates of the vasari, they just look nicer and can be turned on/off. Build at two planets, turn them on -> hyperspace link established.
