While it is true that Guidance would be comparable to these abilities, I don't think they're abilities worth aspiring to...these actually are probably my least favorite abilities conceptually as they don't scale at all (siege turret I'm actually okay with just cause it's still very useful)...

[quote who="stein220" reply="108" id="3194262"] Quoting CoronalFire, reply 106 What about microing the ability? I mean for the player who is fighting the Revelation, it makes since to focus fire the buffed combat frigate. Replicate Forces, Siege, and Missile Battery doesn't have quite the same problem since a player knows they will be destroyed in a minute or two anyways, while this buffs something already in existence. I'm not against this, just pointing it out.

More of the mythical "sins 2" feature perhaps.

[quote who="bilun" reply="103" id="3194237"] Realistically speaking it's not all that different from Missile Battery. it creates a single frigate. The buff is significant enough that it allows a single existing frigate to carry the firepower of multiple frigates, which ultimately is aboutt he same as creating a new one. Heck, the closest analogue is actually the Skirantra's level 6 ability which clones a single target frigate a few times. &nbsp

Cobalt comes from German, is either evil spirit or goblin. Yeah some like Kodiak and Javelis are presumably simple.

Many may know this, but I thought I'd be a great place to discuss possible meanings behind the various ship names. I start this because I found that Ragnarov is almost identical to Ragnarok, the Norse legend future battle that kills Odin, Thor, Loki, and others. Loose translation of Ragnarok is "God-End/Fate." Anyone else have discoveries like this?

Yeah I mean I don't know why we are arguing over Flak Burst anyways. It's a plot of Mecha's. Divide and conquer.

[quote who="Seleuceia" reply="140" id="3193720"]A player isn't going to have just a single kol...the "60 HP/s regen" statement implies that at the very least, repair bays and hoshikos are there in support...good odds too that there'll be some flak, and maybe even some hangars with flak turets...especially if they are TL, it's not an easy situation to deal...it's time consuming and risky, assuming you can even jump your fleet in there in the first place...you're better

[quote who="Seleuceia" reply="137" id="3193618"]Let's be honest...the real reason no one builds a Kol is because 1) it doesn't colonize planets and 2) it isn't the corsev...and really, do you need anything beyond beyond that? Bombers don't directly cost credits, but you are kidding yourself if you think they "cost nothing"...without the bombers, carriers are just flying bricks that suck up resources and valuable fleet supply...bombers are about the only thing t

[quote who="ARESIV" reply="2" id="3193663"]Does it make sense to have a starbase at a star? After all its range is quite limited compared to the massive size of the gravity well and so it can be easily avoided. I agree that one starbase can be useful for trade or culture and perhaps repairs... but thats about it. [/quote] There is a great advantage to putting SBs at a star. The AI rarely attacks, and if you have 14 SC squadrons per SB....range is not a

(And mecha, please don't troll.) Let me ask you a question. Does Kol perform better than its counterparts? Do you see more Kortuls and Halcyons built to counter SC? Halcyon is completely useless as a late game anti SC platform, but is great starting cap. Maybe 1-2 people on ICO build Kortuls. Same with

[quote who="Seleuceia" reply="19" id="3193455"] But now with superweapons, even the unfair AI basically makes the lame turtling strategy king....it's not just annoying, it's boring...I don't want to be SBing my planets with auxilary government 15 minutes into the game....it ain't a matter of skill or "knowing the right strategy"...it just plain isn't fun....I'm glad the AI now can use superweapons, but it makes the cheating they have that much more appa

Rebellion has a cap on superweapons, so any range limitation is unnecessary and would nerf them into oblivion. For diplomacy though, were unlimited numbers were possible, I wish they had limited the superweapons to one star system. Note that anything less in range I would be against implementing even in diplo. I just finished playing cruel 1v1 small random and won by a large part to Novas. Both of us were TEC. As I've posted elsewhere, killing super weapons isn't very

What about Particle Beams? I figured that's what the Vasari used.

Forcing the player to give up a factory/lab/trade port to put up another culture is better if possible. Off topic from the Revelation now, although changes to one thing brings changes
