Oh I agree, but they do pretty much form a backbone fleet. I just think having Hoshikos, Percherons, and Command Vessels would make a great fleet. Because the strategy gives you a huge economy boost as you are going down the civilian tree but also getting military forces for it. I personally think this strategy has the ability to be overpowered if people were to explore it more. It has a very simple upgrade path to. Fll Hull/Autocannon/Armor.

because its not a get out of jail free card some titans are destined to lose early game. Balance wise if they lose a level they are already behind the opponent who A) Got Xp for killing your titan B ) Continuing to gain XP from the time it takes for you to build a titan(Which is 360(?) seconds) C) Which opponent now more than likely has a higher fleet advantage over you If you actually look at it, its really not that stupid.

I disagree suiciding your titan in multiplayer is very bad.

Volt im not entirely sure but does animosity effect strike craft. Because if it did, it would be an amazing anti strike craft ability with your rebalanced races mod. But I do find the buff to Detonate AM unnecessary but it would not hurt to have it. As for the Kol I agree with the fact that Force Field should be a passive. But I still think Ion bolt is more fitting on the Kol than the Akkan. Edit: Also those numbers for AF need a nerf as well beca

Well, to be fair the Kol has a all in one ability to and thats Finest Hour, but that is unfortunately the Bricks level six ability. Another great way to buff the kol is considering it has four abilities it could make great use of having antimatter regeneration also put on Adaptive Forcefields. Its supposed to spam its abilities but it is unable to due to antimatter cost that cannot be obtained till six. And nothing wrong with being an idealist, I am one to but the only

If you lose your titan late game you do lose the game if it were to lose all its levels. You are wrong and being a smartass on the internet will not support your case. If you truly think it is overpowered send in a replay displaying how bad it is. While I do agree titans need tweaking for the 1000th time this one is not it.

Meteor storm does not instantly kill a fleet and requires time, it is actually not comparable and i'll explain why. I think you miss the point of what is universally useful. These are abilities that have the potential to fleet wipe or are really, really bad. These are abilities that do not have a middle ground. Its not just damage abilities Pirate Mercenaries and Returning Armada neither of them have a middle ground they can only be overpowered or underwhelming. Even game AI such as pirat

When you look at capital ships(or even abilities/ships in general) there are two things that need to be understood about he way they are designed. One pure damage vessels do not work actually work, this is the primary reason for why the Kol and Radiance are seen as terrible is because of this innate problem that if it does to little damage it sucks, if it does to much damage its overpowered. This can be seen even in abilities, red button, chastic, etc. There are other cases of this that do no

These strategies keep people intent on knowing how to mass things and press a button to win. There really is no strategy behind them. Fleet wiping abilities are and always will be stupid in my eyes. Because they are not balanced. It makes games rule by who gets there titan first or who has the better choke point spawned by the randomly generated map builder. They really are not strategy, I know how to counter them, and countering them takes far more effort then actually using said abilities.<

Rebellion includes all the additions of trinity, if you preorder now you will be in beta with everything from trinity.

They really are not all that comparable. They serve different roles and should not be compared. The Titan is the end all be all unit, capital ships are merely support ships.

[quote who="AseOfSpadez" reply="64" id="3147930"]I love this. Two threads going side by side, one for nerfing red button, one for buffing it. For the record I support this thread, not the other.[/quote] I think you misread the other thread ase it actually is talking about the buff that red button received and how it was unneeded

I just dont like units that are universally good at things, you'll notice I hate red button, for the most part I hate wail but I find it more dynamic than Red Button, I hate Chastic Burst, I hate Ragnarovs shotgun ability. I don't feel any of these aside from wail bring anything dynamic into the game. Red button forces you to needlessly micro or take different paths(If they are available) to go around a starbase. And if you do not you lose your whole fleet because somebody kno

Well can you control if this wave gos out or not because this could be manipulated through proper micro.

You are a strange one Fyrstar. But my thread will remain open until I see that something will or will not be done about both of these abilities. [quote who="KrdaxDrkrun" reply="59" id="3147714"]I can experiment with Particle Effects and ability buff indicators that denote when an Argonev has the BRB active if that will be helpful to you, Mayall...

[quote who="AseOfSpadez" reply="3" id="3147894"]Maybe some sort of energy wave that goes out every 20 seconds and does 25 dmg. to strikecraft and 250 damage to everything else? It would be like the desintegrater in that it could not be upgraded using research to keep it fair.[/quote] Your idea is good but it is rather inconsistent an energy wave that goes out every twenty seconds is not really that good against strike craft. For example, the TEC Defense is the best in g

I think an anti-strike craft upgrade would be awesome.

I know seleuceia, I dont agree with the BRB buffs. Im just trying to explain that it was not because of Vasari starbases for why it was buffed.

[quote who="OddskiBoddski" reply="52" id="3147807"] Quoting MayallCommunion, reply 47 Not really, compare a Corsair to a Kodiak pirates are unable to actually produce shield technology, im almost sure that adding to much armor to a ship will disallow it from actually having shield technology. Due to pirates inability to actually produce shields they had to solve this issue by strapping on a bunch of armor. Also dont count titans as im sure their s

Thank you for that volt I think I may actually update that graph myself:) But for the most part bombers are still at that .5 on a few of the ships. I still think these need to be adjusted lower. Or bombers should be removed from the game because a unit like that is stupid to balance.

Eh TAR is a strange ability really. As much as I understand it says "makes YOU friendly with neutral factions" I think all Neutrals under your friends planet control should be friendly towards his allies as well. Merely because its a nuisance. Its not actually a bug, its doing what it was designed to do, just its annoying.

[quote who="crisaron" reply="51" id="3147626"]If you make it the typical red button power then it's pointless as the Vasarie jumping starbase will just eat through it.... Yeah right red button a Advent fleet and look at the titan melting anything in it's path and look at the ton of ships spawning and re spawning.... Rebellion will be about massive engagement and super fast resupplying of fleets. The

Its not just that Serath I made a post about it but logistically it is very bad for a fully offensive fleet. If you go into full offense trees with the other races you get the Kostura and Novalith. With the Advent you need to go down the Hostility Tree AND the Harmony tree. This is a very bad mix.
