ay, it seems like vasari is to close to tec, I think the fact that tradelines cant cross dead astroids and tec can get past that was suposed to be the real powerhouse for tec econ. but it seems a bit lackluster If my solution should stand it would prolly require a buff to tec's econ

[quote]My thought about buracracy, isn't it already implemented? To have a larger fleet, you need to imporve your supply level, this will incure a income penalty, isn't this loss because of bureacracy?[/quote] Not really, if you could go down in fleetsize aswell it would somewhat help. but as it is implemented now it is a 1time cost to build traning facillities for a set size of fleet. and has nothing to do with the size of your empire long term.

[quote]But should tec's dps be equal to the other 2, im not so sure. afaik TEC has (or is atleast supossed to have) the strongest economy vs ship prices --- that would equal -> loosing most(all) battles but winning the war and though the gameplay of that may not suit everyone is none the less valid! the question is where the balance should be[/quote] To elaborate if an Advent looses 40% of his fleet and the tec player looses 85% in that battle,

[quote]Kruppe, what are you talking about? Look at the original post. No one is talking about making unbalanced fleets. I am trying (with your help?) to figure out how to make a balanced TEC fleet that stands a chance against a balanced Advent or Vasari fleet - specifically without relying too much on capital ships... When I say later "everyone goes carriers" I mean that my TEC is not fighting an Illum or assailant swarm, not that you have to make a fleet of straight

If you try that you will find that the ship is still alive afte

[quote]Dear guys, thank you very much for your answers!!!!!! I didn´t mention it in my writing intentionally, that the alone cap ship, which has destroyed all our armies, was indeed Marza cap ship!!! And you are now confirming, that only Marza level 6 (I guess the highest level) can do that! So than I have following questions: Is Marza the only capital ship from all available in Sins, which can do that??? Is there any possible defense against such a capital ship???

[quote who="Kruppe" reply="1" id="1967514"]There are many types of nerfs, what are you thinking about? dmg, salvoes, duration, visual etc etc it's not really an insta gib and even though powerfull it is fairly easy to stop, and if you let it fire 20!!! salvoes then you could most likely have done something diffrently to avoid it doing so or moved your ships. The only change i'd like to see is a better visual so you spot it sooner,imo there are other ultimatas are just as powerfull

Gorced tactics are not *making the right stratigic desisions* it's following a set pattrn. Im thinking give planets 1 fighter squard pr infrasructure upgrade or something like that.

First of the counterpoint must be mentioned, Skill being equal(Napoleon vs Nepolen) would result in a who has most the most units. If skill and gear is equal then industial power will be the determaning factor ( see WW1 or the us civil war). The question is to what extent, and i must agree, that the limeted options for fleet mangement are making industry a bit to equal to skill. In the end we all dream of pulling a Thrawn but that is only a dream in sins atm.</p
