[quote who="top vasari" reply="12" id="2492616"] if you get on in the main times there are alot of games going. [/quote] unfortunately that pretty much the only time there are some games going on.... living on the GMT+ side of the world you'll have a hard time finding any games during the week, unless you got nothing to do early in the morning -_- WTB more European, Asian and Oceanic players!
I prefered the 40 min treaty TvB games with my friend in AoEIII ^^ japs FTW
[quote who="top vasari" reply="618" id="2493520"] Im not gonna tell you hte new strat because you might coutner it _|~(not so) Uber [/quote] worth a shot :P
[quote who="top vasari" reply="614" id="2492862"]i should be taken off this list, i am a complete noob there should be a noob teir for failures like me _|~(not so)Uber [/quote] I still don't quite understand what you were trying to do (was it yesterday?) with the 2 orkies on my HW and roid when my fleet was stationed there?! you said something about a new strat.... plz enlighten me `//arz0ne  
I wasn't aware that we were talking about lvl 10s, since this chart shows the superiority of the mazra at lvl 1: [quote who="SageWon" reply="2" id="2011443"] There have been quite a lot of changes to Capital Ship abilities in 1.1, and the game has better balance. So I find more people using different Cap ships, as well as multiple Caps. Altho Cap ships are meant to be more of a support ship, it is interesting know how some of these abilities co
[quote who="stormspireiv" reply="45" id="2431229"]What if repulse just removed a percentage of ship's current velocity, and if the enemy ship's velocity is zero, it would essentially have no effect. [/quote] From the skill description's point of view this wouldn't make much sense. It's a telekinetic ability by the guardian's adepts to push away objects. And idea that just struck me is that there could be a target cap (if there isn't one already I don't think there
[quote who="GoaFan77" reply="13" id="2427986"]Quoting runesia, reply 12well if its one on one deathmatch with the radiance i would pick up Marza (combat type).Radiation bomb and Marza's 3rd skill (forgot the name damn) its all DoT and based on my experience there is no mitigation against DoTs. but that's if one on one facing off, but if its one on one kiting , heh i'll pick uy Halcyon for sure Despite how it is used, the Marza is not a battleship.

[quote who="Cpt_Siddy" reply="38" id="2369710"]Repulse shuld be same as distort, no cap effect. period. no disussion needet. PS: Vasari lategame rape advent, anyone who disagrees is retard. [/quote] that would result in an entirely different strategy of running your whole fleet into the enemy fleet and pushing away all non caps leaving the caps there, separated from support cruisers almost as f***ed as when they get pushed aro
thanks for the quick reply! this goes for the armor too i guess? the armor just gets counted as whole and "increases" base hull points?
1. When upgrading a tech, lets say shields by 5% and the second lvl of that tech upgrades it by 10% does this mean the base amount is upgraded by 5% and that amount is upgraded by another 10%? Or does the base amount get upgraded by 5% with the 1st tech and 10% with the next tech adding to 15% of base shield? OR does it mean the base shields are upgraded by 5% with 1st tech and by another 5% of base shield to a total of 10% base shield? Example: (even numbers to ease t
Well unfortunately the damn shipment of entrench expacks hasn't even reached hong kong yet -_- i'll probably buy it online this week I've been online on vanilla but there ain't any games hosted except for friends only.
[quote who="Altaux" reply="15" id="2427836"]Flaks are tough but there damage is spread in a circle around them not straight foraward like most frigs. Any balanced fleet will tear pirates and a fleet of flak apart. [/quote] actually I'm not talking about attacking anyone with the flaks. The topic was to keep the pirates controlled. The flaks work very well to draw fire and let you build your defensive structures since the construction frig is a low priority target (for some reason
I usually cap asteroids before killing the siege frig since i can kill it of faster than it can bomb those 300 starting health. It doesn't buy you a lot of time, but in the first 5 minutes the sooner you get them resource mines the better.
[quote who="RoyalRook" reply="11" id="2400984"]If only mine laying was like in Homeworld2...where you can order your ships to make lines of them, instead of guessing where they are going to land from phase space. Or better yet, make mines be an upgrade of the planet. Each upgrade adds mine density around the planet. At max level, nearly the entire gravity well is saturated. I second that motion, that's brilliant. [/quote] /agree &nb
IDK but massing flaks normally does it for me. Sure it takes a while but the flaks are pretty tough and can wear them down without the pirates trying to go after your structures. Throw in a cap and you should be golden.
Something that has worked out very well for me is that i set myself a small group of planets usually around my homeworld to capture. the border planets being either choke points or next to uncolonizable territory/pirate bases so the enemy has to make more than one phase jump to reach you. Then have your fleet in the center of these few border planets so you can reach each planet quickly. And always get a few repair bays covering your buildings and each other to buy yourself time to defend. If
[quote who="Darvin3" reply="6" id="2427632"]The Radiance, on the other hand, is a forward shooting capital ship, meaning it can direct all its damage against a single enemy. [/quote] I don't think Radiance can shoot it's laser batteries in a frontal assault. It'd be interesting to know whether the Radiance in the test was attacking straight forward with only plasma and beam weapons or forced slightely sideways by the player so the plasma guns, beams and laserbatteries could hit its ta
Chuck Norris doesn't push back your culture... He sucks your culture dry until the only culture remaining is the one devoted to Chuck Norris. Chuck Norris can attack ships that are in phase space.
would be fun if there were some maps, if that nemesis is ever introduced in an expasion where you have to play cooperatively in a scenario such as defend certain sectors or capture a specific system. because frankly i miss a campaign.
[quote who="Raging Amish" reply="11" id="2294459"]Wouldn't that menace that's hunting the Vasari be a danger to all the races? Hence the suspicion that the 4th race added to the game will be what's chasing the Vasari? [/quote] true but what the two other races don't know doesn't bother them
Definately Advent as favourite Very nice cap ships and fleet synergies (bubbleball ftw) as well as mostly nicely looking ships (TEC vessels are flying bricks -_-) And besides looking at the lore they seem to be the only race that is in a win situation... TEC is in a 2-front war getting killed Vasari are stalled by the TEC and a unknown menace is hunting them.
[quote who="Tal27" reply="13" id="2049353"]My main capital ship is always called "The Defiant", regardless of race. As for other names? Advent: Arkwright, Flux, Eclipse, Fenrir, Thunder, Lightning, Shine, Aura and Luna. Bonus points to anyone who gets the references. I rarely play other races, but when I do, I play TEC, and I always use "SA Normandy" [/quote] O_o Fenrir? Ace Combat X Luna, Aura, Lightning
Guardian: Increase AM cost: yay Repulsion: fix the physics engine and maybe make ships powering their phase engines immune to the push Cap Carriers: Increase number of squadrons Illum: If nerfed to be on balance with the other LRF it should be optainable at an earlier tech lvl... its on tier 3 so it should be logical that it is the most powerful. I agree that it's too tough for an LRF so i'd opt for a reduce of hull. <
