[quote who="Sinkillr" reply="34" id="3385280"] Aresiv i know you spent a lot of time doing those tests, but your section on fighter vs bomber is completely wrong. I'll try to do one stimulating real game conditions next week. [/quote] Define real game conditions? [quote who="lolpurplecow" reply="35" id="3385369"]Why are Vasari bombers such an issue? Can't you just spam fighters against them?[/quote] <

[quote who="Sinkillr" reply="32" id="3385274"] Geomans suggestion would have enormous ramifications to the current sins gameplay. Namely, completely ruining fighter/bomber balance in favor of fighters.[/quote] The fighter VS bomber balancing is RUINED!
[quote who="Sinkillr" reply="28" id="3384906"]Terrible idea. Carriers are already the most expensive frigates, why attach a resource cost to their strikecraft? [/quote] Because compared to their power bomber carriers are quite cheap.

[quote who="Rovert10" reply="1" id="3384819"] No plans of that happening. So don't hold your breath and frankly some of the modders really don't want to be tied to Steam even more.[/quote] What he said.
The same amount of fighers cannot take out the same amount of bombers. If you are facing 50 bomber wings and you have 50 figher wings, the bombers will only be destroyed after the bomber carrier has run out of AM to replace them. Which takes several minutes. In the meantime, most stuff those bombers do hit is dead. Fighters are only interesting if you have a significant numerical advantage. Which is ironic.... realistically one should need much more bombers to penetrate a figh
[quote who="Sinkillr" reply="10" id="3384597"] I think you went a little overboard there Aresiv... lolz. You could have dismissed his argument by just simply typing gameplay>immersion.[/quote] 1. It was fun 2. Immersion is important, try to sell the same game with just moving tactical icons instead of shiny ships and it will fail miserably.
I dont think that the developers did have the intention to make the Vasari - or any other race - OP. It just happens.Some thing turn out far more deadly in "real life" than on the drawing board. When designing a game, you do so in stages on the "drawing board". I would guess, that TEC was the first faction developed.... as they are comparable straightforward. Then I would guess they went over to the Advent. They are different from TEC in most ways
[quote who="GeomanNL" reply="8" id="3384475"]I think the militia are just strange. If there are so many ships defending a planet, why is that planet not colonized?[/quote] Because bombing every new planet for 5 minutes is boring and not helpful for game speed. It would be the same game as now, but early colonisation would take much longer. [quote who="GeomanNL" reply="8" id="3384475"] think there is no immersion at all,[/quo
[quote who="JinglyGoo" reply="14" id="3384523"]Rushing HW with an Orky at the beginning of the game is a WEAKER tactic than any of the LF/Disc spam. Would you prefer i turned up at your hw with 40 disciples and a cap ship? Because that would be a lot harder to kill than a solo orky. Dont forget that 90% of the time the migrator has to fly through like 1-2 of your planets to get to your hw, so you have so much time to either see it or kill it. And then it takes an absolute age to go up in an e
[quote who="JinglyGoo" reply="36" id="3384525"]That would be a more valuable change than bombers or nanites in my opinion.[/quote] I disagree. OP Vasari Bombers can be used offensivly Disruptor Nanites do effective damage in the range of thousands of hull points. The Phasic Trap is just the top of the icecake. Still, it should be fixed.

[quote who="Uvah" reply="3" id="3384303"] Looks like a good movie.[/quote] Indeed.
The reasons stated by Geoman in the OP are quite valid. At the moment, you are better of when the Anklyon is not in a fleet.
You both need Rebellion. Notice: Rebellion does require Steam.

[quote who="JinglyGoo" reply="21" id="3383727"]All of the suggestions are highly subjective. What are you trying to achieve? Balance in Singplayer, FFA, MP 5s? Because the answer would differ depending on your game mode.[/quote] The target is 1v1 balancing.... simple said.... any race and any faction should have halfway comparable changes of victory against any race and any faction. Under the assumption of 2 human players that make full use of their entire cap
[quote who="Seleuceia" reply="29" id="3383730"]Let me be clear...I'm going on the assumption that furious defenses has splash damage (and thus becomes the primary AoE of the Ankylon)....obviously as it stands it is not a comparable ability...it was my take that I wanted the ability buffed and you argued that such a buff doesn't address the AM issue...my point is that if the ability was buffed, the AM issue wouldn't be an issue...[/quote] Ahh, ok.

[quote who="JinglyGoo" reply="55" id="3383713"]As far as 5s[/quote] 5s are not the only MP game type.

[quote who="Turchany" reply="34" id="3383715"] Quoting GeomanNL, reply 33Well my test showed that it doesn't work that way. First attack by a large group of ships or second attack, it hardly matters. Only 1 or 2 ships in your whole group of attackers will do a bit of extra damage during the 1st attack and that hardly makes a difference. strange, it always seemed to me that the first attack is stronger than the others[/quote] &n
Coming from me, it might sound odd to buff Vasari... but personally I always found it odd. Granting the Vorastra 1 Civil, 1 Military Lab and 4 tax income wont break balancing imho. Assuming of course, the currently inbalanced things of Vasari are fixed. [e digicons];)[/e]
