[quote]So I just need to go /ignore Cykur unless I am in a game with you??? Is it just for that "session" or do you need to un-ignore them???[/quote] Should be permanent for ICO ONLY . You won't see my text in ICO. You will still be able to see my typing in game, but you mostly ignore my advice already. =) (I know, I know - that was low!)

A level 6 Marza can indeed destroy a huge fleet of ships if they are all bunched up and close to the Marza. But by the same token, 200 ships can kill a lone Marza before they themselves are destroyed. You will know for next time if you see a level 6 Marza to either kill it very fast, or not put all your ships right next to it when it has enough Antimatter for Missile Barrage. Just splitting up your ships so it couldn't get all of them would have saved most of your fleet.
/ignore works for ICO, but not ingame messages -- your confirmations were telling you that the person was being ignored in the ICO channels, which you are in fact still connected to while in games (that is how you can whisper people not in the game or send messages using /friend, etc..) You can't /ignore people inside the actual game. If I'm wrong about anything I just said, Annatar should correct me soonish.
This is one of the reasons I tell people that if they force a raiding carrier fleet to withdraw, pursue them mercilessly if you are able and don't let them recover.
Somebody set up us the Marza!
Cykur's handy steps regarding new features (in this case starbases) ..... 1. Wait for Feature to be Implemented by Devs 2. Blow up Feature if it is Overpriced...Get slaughtered by Feature if it is Overpowered 3. Complain 4. Flame / Argue 5. Repeat Steps 2 thru 4 Until Patch 6. Repeat Steps 2 thru 5 with New Results
[quote]I love this game, but the voices... Advent is the only faction I can play without screaming.[/quote] Hehe, I'm the opposite. Playing Advent is like having to listen to angry girl scouts for 2 hours.
Lets just go with Tkins explanation and call it a day.
This advice to rush or use scout rushing really is not helping this guy become a better player. By all means he should attack if the other guy is going straight econ and has no military, but otherwise pinning all your hopes on an Assailant rush or a scout rush will pretty much lose someone the game if they can't pull it off. And if the scout rush does work, it will work one time against the same guy, and then he just goes back to losing again. Besides, only the smaller 2 p
[quote]But what sohuld i do if he tries to rush me back with a marza, and the phaze gate is a little research are you sure i sohuld give up that money for phaze gates?[/quote] No one said it is easy, you have to fight for it. If you have such a hard time with Vasari, why don't you play TEC for a while. Then, if someone kicks your butt with Vasari, you can take notes on what they are doing.
10-15 planets is just big enough that rushing might not be possible. If you have a fairly clear path to the guy, you can hit him while he is still in the economic stage with Assailants...otherwise, you have to get carriers with fighters to counter LRM spam and try to get your own econ going. If he goes Kodiaks and doesn't have fighters of his own, you can switch to bombers. Vasari econ is about fast expansion with the Evacuator and grabbing the neutral extractors on the map if t
[quote]This might be a bit noob to say but what a nerf? For a second i thought u were talking aobut the guns[/quote] It is referring to the guns...it means to make changes to a dangerous weapon or effect to make it more like a "nerf gun" and therefore not as deadly.
[quote]Vasari: Disruptive Strikes. Did I miss anything ( I left out some frigate anti AM abilities since they are weak)?[/quote] The Vasari can also use Phase out Hull on the Marauder to interrupt it. Not sure if a Subverter's Distortion Field would work....do Subverters stop cap abilities? I know they don't affect cap ships otherwise...
The moral of the story is don't drive your battleball up to 3 Marzas. If you even SEE 3 Marza's with your scouts, you know what is coming. Marza Missile Barrage is probably a wee bit OP right now, but they are not that hard to kill and require some nurturing to get to level 6. Marza isn't the only AoE attack that can be pulled off....Advent fleets have some nasty synergies to wipe out massed ships. Heck, I once killed a small Advent battleball with a timely applicati
[quote]It's like a team of pool hustlers complaining that the marks don't like them any more It probably doesn't help that you'll see one DT player and then an obvious DT smurf or two on the same team. [/quote] I have never seen DT smurfs grouped with DT in the same match, though I'm sure it has probably happened somewhere (cough Siddy cough).....actually, I have occasionally discovered DT smurfs trying to KILL DT by pretending to be a noob on the other team (Siddy!!).

[quote]Actually, beyond Siddy's smurf, there is still ADT rhetoric on ICO. There are quite a few people that if you join their game with a DT tag, they will either boot your promptly or say "no DT" and then boot you. You ask them what DT ever did to them and they either don't respond or they say we stack the teams. [/quote] Well....if one side is DT....the teams probably ARE stacked, unless you take the time to set up a game vs other experienced players. We need
[quote]So I just finished a battle royale with all AIs on "Unfair" and here is the end game resource breakdown: I am the red line and those are my vanquished foes.[/quote] The resource breakdown through the game just tells how you are doing at that moment, not whether an AI is getting additional credits. We have no way of knowing if one player is doing better with the same number of planets or if they are doing better with extra planets. T
[quote]I think they just nerfed the flak to much. Its 43% less then it was in 1.05. In 1.05 it was to good at doing its job. Now its just not enoght. I liked it at 25% less then 1.05. [/quote] It actually is at 25% less...they initially did 43% and then scaled it back...the change log lists both changes.
[quote]Does it give the same mix of ships that it did before, including the new carriers?[/quote] Yes, it still gives the same kind of mix, including the new carriers. The fleet supply of ships arriving is larger than it used to be, too. It is also worth noting that level 1 RA is NOT worth it for the cost.
I still see RA as being extremely powerful, just not RA rushing. I have already played one game where I beat my first opponent, then swtiched over to RA based production to fight 3 opponents who were winning on the other side of the map in a 5v5. It takes RA a little longer to pay for itself, but it is still worth it on bigger maps. Instead of "free ships for life", RA is now "cheap ships for life". It is also very handy, as mwilken pointed out, to instantly create
Make no mistake, RA is still a powerful technology...you just need some econ to pay for it.
