Hm. Nanites do 30 DPS, over ten seconds it gives 300 damage. The remaining 2000-something must have been your other damage sources, most likely Assailants with a little help of the -5 armor debuff. It is true though that highly upgraded phase missiles are the Advent's nemesis, bypassing their most stalwart line of defense - robust shields.
That is exactly the problem - they DO accelerate the moment they begin turning. Spaceships are not naval vessels. Water-bound ships need the flow of water around the rudder to be able to turn. There is no flow of the Void and there is no rudder on space ships. In fact, the faster they move in the wrong direction, the more energy it takes to change the heading! I understand it may not look sensible if all ships turned whole 180 degrees before accel
I'm sorry but it's not too situational. Kortul meets another cap ship. That is a situation that happens in every game, at least once or twice against every player. Everyone uses caps. Every cap has useful abilities (almost, but those that do not are not picked anyway). So against every player a Kortul with DS can screw the other guy's plan, royally. Now, if you want a situational ability, look at the Marauder. EVERYTHING about it is situational. :D

[quote]Adaptive Armor is sucessfuly negating Kortul AM drain...[/quote] I ran a test. Here is the description and results: HOW: I started a small random 1v1 game against an easy AI, Vasari vs Advent. I selected the cap factory to build a Kortul. I saved, quit, and loaded the game... taking the seat as the advent player. I queued a Radiance. and so on, with a dozen more save/loads I managed to arrange a fight in an empty gravwell between: WHO: Level 4 K
Oh damn, so there exists one ship in the game that is not rendered useless after 40 seconds of fighting with a Kortul. what a sucky ability this DS must be ;s. Seriously though, I'm not sure if it completely negates DS. I'd have to check.
[quote] Adaptive Armor is sucessfuly negating Kortul AM drain...[/quote]Lol how is that? the kol can use it once or twice and then it'll find he has no more AM for it, while Kortul keeps his steady 25/35/45 shields per sec regeneration. finest hour, same story - used once will never be used again , while the Kortul will keep his shield regen.
[quote who="Arthanis" reply="47" id="2519315"]Disruptive Strikes: 1. I never said this ability suck. I said "this ability is little UP" and it's upness after other abilites buff (and there are many "huge" buffs suggestions) will start hurting. 2. DS at low levels have significant problems with negating enemy AM reserves. Ability is just too slow, enemy will cast his spells enough times to get significant advanatge 3. Kortul is only Battlecruiser without access
Please, guys, do not derail the thread. This is not a "Z-axis vs minefields" thread. It's about the EFFIN' circles.

Heh, yeah right. first, Dunov has a LOT more combat utility than antorak. Second, I am sure that you would have won the game half an hour before the antorak saved your hide if you took any other cap instead of it. If the marauder saved your ass a pinch many times, than you ought to have a pinch many replays showing it, no? I can PM you my e-mail, I'm DYING to see those. [e digicons]>_>[/e]

[quote]Besides I don't want to see fleets of capital ships.[/quote] Fleets of caps - no. An antorak once a millenium which proves that his owner didn't make his last mistake by building one - yes please.
The arcing turns are retarded. Period. (scroll to the bottom for suggested solutions; keep reading for rants) You guys at Ironclad say that people complain about the game being too static, that the ships don't move around too much and that sort of stuff to justify the arcing maneuvers of units. You'll not make need for speed out of this game. But you can put a little sense into t

Pure.... ownage... [e digicons]:dur:[/e] [quote who="Arthanis" reply="3" id="2518470"]Well... it is less then I thought.[/quote] Calm down. IC is doing more than most devs around the industry. The balance was much more skewed a year back. They are listening and they are on their way. Slowly, yeah, but faster than you perceive around other games.
[quote]LFs do 50% more damage to battlecruisers, but Battlecruisers do 50% more damage to LFs (because of weapons buff) too AND ...[/quote]... other caps get screwed. Your buffs for other cap types doesn't compensate the LF buff. In late game, the difference would be drastically huge I believe. Focus on abilites. Survivability is fine, I believe - every race has ideas for prolonging the lives of their ships: Vas have overseers, TEC got hohos and dunov, Advent has teh battleball. It's
[quote]You do realize that if you increase damage to caps from LF that it will make tier 0 spam(LF and scouts)....[/quote]On second thought, I agree. No LF vs cap damage bonus for me.
I believe Pirates do not travel between solar systems by the devs' intention. They are supposed to be a solar system's internal affair. They're meant to be about easy prey, close and vulnerable. Making long distance jumps is not easy, nor fast, nor close... Pirates shouldn't be an interstellar empire, but a local nuisance. A thorn in the ass, not a sepsis.
[quote]I don't think that the Marza even does as good as this thing thanks to passively buffing itself and deploying an army of siege platforms.[/quote]No, Marza doesn't do as much damage to planets. Marza is an awesome combat vessel with Incendiary shells, rad bomb and MB. If Marza could match Vulkoras in planet-cracking power, Vulkoras would be absolute junk in my eyes, since it's all that vulk is decent at. That would be the ultimate fail beyond salvation.

You know, the main problem with PMS is not the damage. The damage is respectable. It's that the missiles fly where they want. Yesterday my Vulkoras was defending my planet from pirates. I didn't take into account that they would bring 15 pillagers o.O!!!!. They dropped my planet from 2500 to 200 HP in a split second. As a last resort, with 5 pillagers left and my planet about to die, I used L2 phase missile swarm against them. I had 5 pillagers in short distance ahead of me and 8
[quote]Seige caps are the artillery of sins able to deal out heavy damage to many units and planets and SC are their nemsis so increasing their effect versus SC is not correct. Now I will admit that certain things on the Siege Caps (especially Vulkoras) are needed to be buffed or changed but increasing the SC is not one of them.[/quote] That's where Vulkoras fails, miserably.
It seems so, yes. The ship I targeted definately did not disinintegrate, nor did it disappear much faster than before. It seems a lot of this damage is successfully mitigated. You know, the biggest gripe that I have with Disintegration is that Vulkoras regenerates AM very slowly and it has a spammable 15sec cooldown PMS as its main killer ability. PMS drains its AM rapidly and without PMS the DPS of this ship is totally junk (with PMS it sucks as well, but a little less :P). It i

Elrosh, you clearly never fought an online match with anyone with his wits about him :D 15 Kols, lul. I agree though that GRG may be a little too AM-heavy. Kortul, while not packing the punch of a Kol, can chain PS/weapon jam for minutes before running out of AM even at level 3+.
