[quote who="PoeticHate" reply="4" id="1882366"]In 1.095, flaks get their job done. Prev post on "less flaks." is incorrect. [/quote] Cost wise, flaks > carriers, and they're great tanks for lrfs in early game.

Musta been 4 hour long game, which is a snore.
Only make static def vs pirates or extreme 1v1 chokepoints. otherwise, useless :)
[quote who="CenturionJixra" reply="2" id="1883488"] You research the upgrades when the upgrade does more to enhance your fleet than adding more ships for the same cost. [/quote] Wrong. Early +1 upgrades make all the difference, since two extra lrf are less useful. even if 400-0-25, 500-0-25 for attack upgrades isn't much of an economic difference once you have to start pumping lrfs. This is especially true in small maps and even more so with
flak works now :) no more carrier massers.

Why be all psyched up about an expansion pack for a company who unfortunately can't fix the vanilla's multiplayer issues.
Also, don't bother with a second capital ship...
1v1 with Hard/Unfair computers is a joke, even with the 1.095 improvement. All you've gotta do is build units continously and expand towards comp, which tends to make a second capship by the time you've 20+ lrfs. Advent comps will mass carriers, so tier 2 tech, x5 carrier with all fighter, 2 bomber squads. Tec likes light frigates, counter with lrfs. Vasari is random fleet thrown at you, which lrfs will eat up.
Have you 1.095?
i'll play you as "Yangers" -Delirium
Wow... horribly nerfed to 20 anti-matter, now has a cast delay, and bugged as hell. Still happening, most ships don't get thrown away. Good making comp harder, now they spam carriers. 1v1 vs unfair aggressive comp on small 1 star i had to make 18 carriers filled with only fighters just to fend off. At any rate, great graphic increase touch, great patch altogether.
Bet i can beat you with tier 1 ships ^^
First we need more 1.09 players... I sit on ico as "delirium" for hours with no games :(
1.09 for now
soooo dead in MP. someone 1v1 me...
Mothership > all. Advent scouts have awesome shield. scouts + mothership + shield regen = win small map 1v1. + shield and + attack upgrade (shared) big +. Colonization is great if its a larger map and early economy > early upg. mothership alone can rape ALL planets around your starter. on lets say 14 planet maps you'll have x4 cash sources while your non-advents 2-3 max. meh, just my opinion.
