i played my first game with advent today, but to make it more interesting i made it a 4v1. 3 normal AI's and me vs. 1 unfair AI. anyways, i end up in the pocket. great, cuz im just learning advent. well anyways welllllll into the game i have about 10 planets and a huge fleet. but im not really using my fleet cuz the unfair has his hands full on the front lines, and my allies fleets combine are keeping him at bay. but anyways, ive got 5 deliverance engines. im gonna build more, i plan on havin

CrazyElectron don't be stupid, everything follows the same rule therefore the freaking thing still orbits relates to other objects. What? You think the space crafts orbits with the solar orbit at all times as well? [/quote] its called geosynchronous orbit, like somebody else said..... and no spacecraft wouldnt because they have the ability to accelerate. but the

that brings up an idea.... what if they made a multiplayer mode akin to WoW, where each account you create sets you to one race, and theres this set "universe" and the players with the same faction are allies and such, and its a never ending conquest for control of the whole universe. building off his idea, the universe would hold sectors, sectors would hold galaxies, galaxies would hold systems, and systems hold planets. and whatever planets/systems you conquer, when you log

something ive noticed in some games ive played. resource mining upgrades: are they EVER worth it? i mean, they cost somewhere over 1000 credits after resource-to-credit conversions, and you get a 7% upgrade? wtf? thats going to take somewhere around, 20-30 minutes to payoff, and you can easily lose the game, or at least a planet or two(remember, the upgrade affects each extractor individually, so each planet you lose you lose the bonus for ALL the extractors you lost at that planet, t

yeah ive noticed it too. but it seems like they have to crash into whatever it is before they realize "oh shit there's a frigate factory at out 12 oclock!"

if you've watched the history channel, you mightof caught something about how combat in space will likely go about. fighters wouldnt look like fighters of today, they'd be little cubes with thrusters on all sides, seeing as in space acceleration is indefinite and you would have to stop whatever you started by yourself. also, the fighters would be able to turn on a dime, literally. so basically, a "space fight" would look like a bunch of spasmadic cubes firing projectiles at ea

[quote who="jason733i" reply="3" id="2501790"] Or option number two is that a fleet of this size doesn't rest until either they are all dead or they've destroyed every planet in the star system. This way the fleet would eventually get widdled away to nothing or it would force everybody into conflict to defend themselves from a monstrous force (making the game much more interesting). [/quote] that does seem interesting..... having to ally with your next door neigh

i plan vanilla for right now. until i get entrenchment

i LOL'd when i saw that freaking WII SPORTS?!?!? made it!!! if wii sports made it, then wheres sins? starcraft? (sure, it wasnt made this decade, but COME ON, it has its own professional league in korea!), killzone 2, things like that? wii sports is a embarrasment to be on that list... i mean, its kinda addicting, expecially boxing, but after playing you're left like "wtf?" i just wasted a good bit of my life..

maybe someone should start a 1v1v1 game of fairly skilled players, and have one person play tec, one advent, and one vasari, and have em set up an early game rush situation. like, only research the upgrades you are likely to have early game or whatever. but anyways, just get each of the races to face off in a 2 carrier battle, supported by a early-game replica fleet. do a advent-vasari battle, advent-tec battle, and tec-vasari battle.

[quote who="zenophin" reply="5" id="2497784"]heres a tip, upgrade ur civillian infastucture. that will boost your economy. also resaerch bettter resource gathering techs in the harmony tree. after you have a strong economy and get lots of high power ships id say just attack fast so ur enemy cant react in time. [/quote] resource gathering techs.... idk really, ive only been here awhile, but each level of upgrade only increases your income by .1, so total you can only get a .6 upgr

[quote who="CallenExile" reply="63" id="2496549"]Keep a few cobalts on standby and run them into the guardians when they stop being able to repulse. This is a theoretical strategy, thouh it sounds good. Please feel free to rip it to shreds, along with my fwagile littwe soul -Exile(\/) [/quote] from as much as my opinion goes, this isnt TOO hard, as long as you have hoshikos... and quite a few of em, and spread em out, so when they repulse, they dont al

if you just bought it, as i did a few weeks ago, you got the Game of The Year edition did you not? my serial number was on the back of the MANUAL. its a pretty long alphanumeric code, with dashes

[quote who="Agent of Kharma" reply="11" id="2495780"] I will say, however, that I have been seeing more and more capships as time goes on. So it is a trend that has been building over time. [/quote] sounds like a classic case of people perfecting build-orders, capship production strategies, and economy optimization.

whenever im online on this game, itll say there are multiple games availible, but wont show any, or only show one. why?

if i find myself wanting more credits, i buy these upgrades for my terran/desert planets.

from what ive experianced, in most RTS games, early game is where the game is won or lost. but from what ive heard this game is different. when you get in game, whats the first things you guys usually do? mine is: 1.build a capship factory 2. build 2-4 scouts, set to auto explore as they are built 3. build extractors, in this order: chrystal, metal metal 4. build a few cobalts, send them to a nearby asteroid to conquer, meanwhile, my flagship goes to a nearby planet 5. by this

that makes alot more sense than the manual explains lol. the manual's explanation is like "whaaa???" thanks.

im startin to get a good feel for the game. but there are a few things about frigates/counters that im having trouble with..[e digicons]:blush:[/e] from what i understand, LRF>LF; LF>anti-strikecraft, carriers; anti-strikecraft>fighters+bombers; fighters>?, bombers>structures, capships; heavy cruisers>are heavy cruisers even worth what it takes to get them?; siege frigates>planets ?>LRF; ?>Heavy cruiser; could someone help me out with th

[quote who="Annatar11" reply="1" id="2493547"] Hopefully that makes sense. To answer your question, you can changing the weapon damage values to switch the ship's primary weapon to a different bank, but that's about it. [/quote] how do you do that?

ok. im startin to figure out cap ship abilities and when to use em. i just gotta figure out when to build which kind [e digicons]>_>[/e]

i agree with everyone here. when you here the term battleship, you think of something thats big, bad, and is going to kick some serious ass. also, you think of a special weapon on board that ship that, when used, is gonna tear huge holes in enemy fleets. imo, they got the right idea with the GRG, but like darvin said, with all the power it uses, you would expect some serious firepower. but it barely does anything.. maybe set it where it bypasses shield mitigation? (i dont understand shield mi
