Well its quite an important question imo, as I surely don't want to buy the game now, and then be forced to buy the more expensive expansion so I have an online player base to do battle with.
Oh and do you know when Rebellion comes out anyhow?
Ok thanks. A quick question, this is for another friend. He seems interested in this game, but I've seen that Rebellion is going to be a standalone. Will it combine all the other games? Because if so then I'm sure it would make sense for him to wait until the expansion comes out rather than buying Trinity now.
I've been playing Civilization V lately, and as much as I love it I just love the scale of this game. I'm put off playing it though due to the very high rate of desyncs I had with my friend. Out of 4 games only 1 did not desync. Is that still an ongoing problem? Thanks!
Light armour? Cheers. By the way I was wondering if there's any point making ships go above the level plain with ~ Is there any strategic advantage? I know that in Homeworld 2 some of the ships were weaker on top and bottom..
Yes, torpedo cruisers are meant to be used against structures (and Star Bases, since they are a structure). Yeah I know that, what I meant was, on the bar charts which one of those listings is the ogrov? Is it the utility cruiser? Other than that thanks for yo post. :)
Great post thanks. Indeed I am trying to take both base dmg and modifier into account, though I'll have to do it little by little. Thanks for the info on how to clear a planet. I suppose then if I just go for the light armour units and leave the rest to turrets I should stick with fighters (unless there's a lot of flaks.) I should go for bombers if I want to clear everything really.
Ah so many questions! Its hard to work it all out so I'll just ask. If I go for the carrier capital ship at the start, and I need it for basic killing nearby planet garrisons, should i be giving it bombers or fighters? Even though fighters have a higher damage multiplier its the bombers that have more DPS. The garrisons usually consist of light and medium armour units. Fighters do 200% to light but 25% to medium, which is roughly dps 12 and dps <
"Heavy cruisers do counter LRF. I don't know who is saying otherwise. You can still lose to them if they outnumber you significantly, which is not uncommon in early fights where one player goes straight to heavies (investing significant $$$ in tech along the way) and the other just masses up LRM's." Sorry I edited my post and changed the values. What I meant to say was that 75% dmg multiplier to very heavy armour (i,e, the heav
Ok I had a look at that excel spread sheet. The only two things I really understood from it was the first chart detailing how much extra percentage of damage each unit did to other armour types, and the second more general flow chart telling me rough counters. (The other stuff had far too many numbers for me to be able to focus on the screen without getting dizzy :P) As long as its accurate then that's just about all the info I need. I realise that recent pa
Hi so I've just started playing a nice big campaign both against AI and with my friend, but i have a few questions regarding the counters. I've only played TEC so far so I know nothing of the others. For the moment I'll only talk about them. Is the following list of uses correct? Feel free comment. Its more about counters to be honest, as I'm not going to be going online with this, just playing with some friends on LAN occasionally. What I've not included as part o
Thanks all for your input! I'll just switch it off for the moment, and leave it on if I go online in locked teams as you've suggested. Yeah i'll make another topic to discuss counters.
Really!? Haha that's funny xD Never had this kind of response in official boards before, usually everyone can answer my query right down to the tee with a list of data and mathematics. Thanks for your reply though, unfortunately I'll have to shut it off too if someone can't properly explain it as I don't want to lose some random way without knowing how it really works. Does it go without saying then that I should pretty much ignore
Hi I'm new to the game and I do love it. I'll keep this post brief to save time for everyone. (I have tried searching for the answers to my questions already and I apologise if they exist somewhere but I have not found them!) I very confused about how the relationships system works. I do understand to some degree how and why each faction likes/dislikes you (that box which tells you these things such as different race
