No I havent seen it..What do Light Frigates (LF) do against bombers? I thought only flak frigates damage bombers. What are corvette swarms good for, dont they die en masse in the face of AoE? Are fighters really effective against bombers? I mean, the carriers just rebuild the bombers in no time. How many fighters do you need against 100 advent bombers for effective suppression?

Super Titans would be a good basis for the next expansion. A super Titan is to a Titan what a Titan is to a Capital ship. Takes 5 captains and 500 fleet supply. With this, it will be possible to take down a level 10 Eradica. Any other ideas for the next expansion?

So: I hear alot about bomber spam. Im trying it myself. Kind of cowardly, no doubt, but it works. It feels cheap though. What % bombers/fighters do you use? Do you have any close range attack vessels or do you run around the perimenter of the grav well while your bombers do the heavy lifting? What speed do MP games take place? How is that controlled? I dont see how people are able to have large fleets/lots of caps and be able to micro the cap abilities. What are you

Looks like I got another game in the bag against Cruel. Im only able to beat it when it attacks my fully vitamin fortified planet with my fleet. I kill its fleet and titan, then attack the next planet while it is weakened. I did notice that it will only attack my fortified planet when my fleet is NOT there. So I move my fleet 1 planet away then warp in when I see him coming along phase lines. Also notice he never uses the MAW How does it know my f

Man, I got a leg up on the Cruel AI in a new game. Im playing AR. I destroy their fleet (titan wasnt there) with my SB in a different well, while I attack and kill his SB in the contested well. Before I can rebuild my fleet and get more than 1 upgrade on a SB in the contested well, the Cruel AI warps in with his VL titan and fleet and wipes me out, even with my Eradica going God blue. So my question is, does the Cruel AI cheat with its fleet in addition to economic

Im a little surprised you agree Cruel AI is so hard. I have seen posts of people saying how they demolish Cruel AI. But ofcourse you dont know the game setup they have. Cruel AI is SO much HARDER than Unfair. Usually I play a medium large random with 5 other Unfairs (no allies) but that has become too easy. Ive only had luck using Advent rebels against Cruel, the starbase with meteor shower and the high level eradica help alot, assuming you can survive long enough.

Playing medium random with 3 AIs, two unfair 1 Cruel. The Cruel AI steamrolls the Unfairs (evidently) and comes after me. This is game time around 1:15. Get some good planets and 5 trade networks, build my first starbase with a few upgrades and the Cruel attacks with orgrovs in an asteroid well, and also with its rather large main fleet (alot of orgrovs and LRFS). It even has HC's and Carriers. How does it get this advanced fleet so fast? It kills off my fleet (2 capit

Playing another game, late game against a Cruel AI with a full fleet and a level 10 Eradica. So um, tell me again how I defeat this fleet? I have a 1500 point fleet and a full starbase and level 5 VR titan. I admit its probably hopeless at this point. I can attack with everything I have at the Eradica for minutes without dropping its shields or hull at all

Ive never multiplayered but Im wondering what the strategery is? I hear alot of "eco" terms. Can you give tech away to your allies? BTW I dont even research anything in the diplomacy tree. The AI's just shoot the envoys down.

All that semantic bullcrap aside, Maw and Nano Leach will NOT eat any ship selected from the Cruiser button on the frigate factory. No carriers, HC's, support cruisers. They are not affected by Maw or Nano Leach.

[quote who="GoaFan77" reply="11" id="3202460"]Quoting Toddwp, reply 9Frigates, never said cruisers. Frigates get eaten alive by AoE, Maw, Nano Leach, malice, chastic burst, etc As I said in the other thread in more detail, cruisers ARE frigates. There is no ability in the game that will work on frigates but not cruisers or vice versa, so cruisers are affected by all of those abilities. The only advantage they have is that they tend to be individually more powerful, so don't get

I kind of like jumping starbase, dont nerf em. Buff em. Since orkies have to spend 7 upgrades on weapons/defense its not OP. Just use bombers on them if you dont like them.
