I would suggest you just do a conventional spam of TEC LRM spam, mixed with some flak. It doesn't take too long to get, its gives a ton of forward firepower, and is difficult to counter quickly. The LRM will knock down weaker SBs, kill his caps, and drive back any titans that you may have to face, The flak will keep corvettes and fighters at bay so your lrm don't get wiped out. This strategy also allows you to build a big fleet qui

Fighters are very effective. You need roughly one fighter squadron for every two bomber squadrons. Thsi will knock out enemy bombers fairly quickly. [quote who="Toddwp" reply="6" id="3205582"] How many fighters do you need against 100 advent bombers for effective suppression?[/quote] You need at least 50 fighter squadrons to counter effectively and quickly. About 30 will reduce the 100 bombers but wont knock them out unti

Vasari are also the only race that can benefit from holding a few worlds. It give them a chance to research Stripped to the Core, which allows them to eat a world or two then build a huge fleet. TEC and Advent need feed in the suicide spot because they have to build a fleet or run the risk of being overrun by a vasari player putting a star base on their worlds, upgrading it, then overwhelming their defenses.

Keep in mind once you strip worlds, you lose their economic advantages. STTC is great for short term gain, but if your enemy is an ecoed TEC player, they can keep up with you if they are good. Its better to eco conventionally then strip your enemy's worlds so they cannot retake them. Also strip your worlds if your enemy is going to take them. That deny's them a foothold and give your resources to fortify the next world or build&nbs

I have seen Star around a bit as well. A couple of older faces like Cult have appeared too, but mostly its new people.

I am having a problem with launching the beta for Rebellion. The launch screen on Steam comes up and says the game is launching, but it doesn't launch. My question is this: is this error occurring with Steam or somewhere else? My guess is that it is with Steam, but if it is somewhere else, that would save me some time. Any suggestions for solving this problem are welcome, btu I've spent a day looking at it and have not solved i

I am interested to see how the corvettes factor into combat. Not much has been said about them, so I wonder what role they will fulfill. We know they are more of a harassment and support unit, but that doesn't mean much. I also want to see how these new capital ships operate. I am afraid they may become a rush cap because they can take over enemy ships, but we will see. There is a counter to everything. The devs are also poli

I would like to say that the additional abilities capital ships will be getting in Rebellion may influence capital ship choices. Bomber/fighter spam is also supposed to be less desirable, but for reasons unknown. I do not want to rule out the rise of battleships as the premium capital ship for combat. I would actually prefer it because that is their role. That said, Halcyons are powerful support ships in addition to being carriers, so

Its not cost efficient either, so I would not bother researching it unless you have too. Make sure you get the boosted resource extraction if you do. DW

Sorry to double post but one last thing. Advent are a difficult race to be good at so don't be too frustrated if it take a long time to become good.

Generally I agree with Elrosh, but I have a few comments. 2) If you build a star base, you are instantly behind in fleet and your enemy can go around and hit your other worlds. If they are TEC, They may also just blow up the star base with orgevs. Build a star base if and only if you must defend that world or you have a stronger economy. As Advent, the former is the most likely. using phase jump inhibitors helps for

Ok thank you for confirming this. I did not see a way out of it at the time and wanted o make sure that I respond correctly when it happens to me.

The prupose of this post is to dicuss counters to sova rushes only. My question is how do you counter a double sova rush? I recently saw one tec player get rushed by 2 tec players. He had 3 sovas at his home-world before he could really defend himself. He did embargo rush one of the attackers simultaneously, but it did not seem like there was any way to counter it. Keep in mind, he was in the suicide spot so no help was coming exc

I can't get onto Ironclad online for some reason. I type in my password, hit login, the computer beeps like it accepted the password but the game crashes. The computer works fine but the game has to be completely restarted. Anyone have any ideas?
