I do have issues with the Empire tree also and it is the main way to macro for me.

read --> Corvette spam are boring... like LRF Spam where effective but was quite boring... so it was removed (technically), lets just hope it's "nerfed" just enough to still be useful while not being a one million man army of clones!
Corvette spam are going to be nerfed since they are so boring...
Another tec opening is colony ship, max frigate. 2 civic research Colonize 3 planet Max planets income (population cap) put 1 trade port per planet. Rush to scouted choke points & grab choke point and expend reseach and fleet capacity. (remember to raise extractions tech with a ration of 1 or 2 per 2 fleet upgrades, it voids the upkeep cost kinda), Reinforce choke poitn whle you colonize... Build 2 nd capital, send the colony
It the secret Pony Level!!!
the issues is lots of things can kill a SB from the well edge, like bombers. By the time you open a 4 upgrade orkulus, I can have a bunch of drones host. It's paper scissor, scout your opponent, if you see a rebel go strait for drone host or station killers combo.
an akkan will insure that you get extra range on your ogrov too, so if they upgrade to low range defences.
yeah 12 drone host shoudl do the trick add in two lvled carriers and they go poof...
[quote who="Volt_Cruelerz" reply="14" id="3155074"]I do get the feeling that stars will become a VL's best friend due to the ability to have four online Orkies simultaneously.[/quote] vs 5 fully upgraded tech station in spider repair, with massive drone host... not sure...
I'll do huge freaking map of 100+ planets but they have to be fastest and yes they take long, but as slowest that is just painful! Once you start rolling I don't want to wait for the fall! :) lol
14 hours inside a game on slow? you are crazyyy!!!!
The whole space rocket thing too then... It's a huge cylinder, with bulging rockets strapped to it...
how much drone host do you have? You need s hit load, you can use them to harass by dropping edge of well killing of a cap and warping out. Alto that probably won;t save you but it does clean up defenses fast.
If you happen to get all the way through to the next pirate raid I just don't understand that part...
Bu then Yarlen as forgotten us now and is playing Diablo3
South Park is meh, sorry I felt violated you attacked my Diablo!!! rolf
Sorry the Vasarie will all be out tonight, there is a lot of daemons in town and they all went to the bar, then tomorrow the devs will all call in sick... Like must of us will do cause there is that other game being released... Besides great marketing guys, 1 month after the big hits is usually when people start to look for new titles.
BY Vasarie release date is announced, 12th june 2012!
The vasarie is not the race you are looking for....
The joy of circular argumentation! You guys should debate life and stuff like that, you have way too much time on your hands...
The Vasarie decided to wait until diablo 3 was out to buy it in mass, but then they realize they will be playing until the official release.
LOL you guys, talking about game time, just made me realize this game existed before WAY before trinity.... so many hours wasted argghhh. I remember that update they created where pirates where invincible after 5 or 6 raids.... good times.
Why armistice is there to protect your fleet until you decide you are ready to fight... (waiting on reinforcement, etc) If a players decides to go for the Akkan combo... The AI will stop using armistice if you pull your forces away, so technically you could kill the akkan with a single cap or two, as long as you have less fleet in the well. Then it will attack you.
Can you minidump with Tech only?
You should always have a stack of javelins with your hoshiko, around your akkan, defended by a shield of kodiak/guard frigates. add in a pair of lvled morza and laugh at the incoming fleet.
