[quote who="RiddleKing" reply="47" id="3327386"] That is not the general way of looking at things. When you say that it means your more interested about focus firing units. Advent illum dps is not focused and is frightening. if there within your fleet and your concentrating on guardians then you are as good as dead by the time you kill the all the guardian.[/quote] Yes, illuminators are cool.... but one single hostile starbase will send you home crying, because yo
I have been quite busy recently so I had not really time for a lengthy answer to some posts here: [quote]People complain about phase missiles, which I agree are powerful and allow you to more effectively pick off capital ships, but that's the kind of thing I signed up for when I selected this faction. I feel that it hurts a lot more when I lose Vasari ships than when I've played with other factions, and I feel it when I play against the other fa

[quote who="RiddleKing" reply="45" id="3326993"] Quoting sareth01, reply 44 Guys tbh i don't think people even bother to build guardians because of the tedious micro involved. You clearly start to see just how insanely strong advent fleets are when you play the AI and its projecting shields, healing ships with dominas, shield regen and vertigo crippling weapon systems.. Its insane. I build guardians more now as a defensive measure agai

1. [e digicons]:troll:[/e] 2. Guardians Durability: Hull: 675 Armor: 2 Shields: 1500 675 hull with 2 armor is nothing against phase missiles. And its powerful shields who normally assure its surival are worthless against phase missiles. Or in short... Guardians die within 10 seconds from the start of any battle.

[quote who="simonak" reply="627" id="3323673"]Hey, had a passing thought. Not sure your feelings but worth mentioning anyway. Iirc, I read somewhere the Loyalist/Rebel factions, coding wise, are actually separate races that just copy their coding over. Would it be worth considering making minor alterations to each factions ships model wise? Not talking whole hog new models or shit, but more for instance; Loyalist Cobalt Friga

I would not compare Hong Kong to the US.... you have to consider average purchasing power. There is also the issues that usually large cities have better infractructure then more rural areas. However, the most important question is...... is there enough of a market to justify the investment costs today?
