[quote who="CptSiddy" reply="3" id="2991476"]shittiest anti fighter capability on capital ships[/quote] You are aware that Telekinetic Push is by popular opinion the best anti-SC ability in the game? 2 halcyons with level 3 push can destroy huge swaths of even the vaunted Vas Bomber in 2 shots each. If you have 3 halcyons (which is not that uncommon in an Advent assault fleet) with lvl 3 push, you have air superiority in no time at all.

I'm shedding a small tear right now as I look at this concept art. It brings up many questions for me but the most pressing one is this: I am a turtler, won't make any bones about it. Love me some Starbase surrounded by Repair, gun platforms and a PJI. My question is, do we know if the Starbase will be getting any loving to help it cope with a Titan filled Universe? Or will Titans become essentially a MAD strategy ie You have 1 so the only way I can defend is to get 1 myself?<

I merely meant it's enough to cause complete death to the population, not planet destruction necessarily. Your point is entirely correct but the post still serves to show the stark disconnect between the power levels of the respective assault ship abilities.

Egg + Sentinels= Easily Sniped Carrier Caps. I can field an Egg+ half dozen sentinels in first 7-8 Minutes easy and that crew eats Carrier's for Breakfast. I point that out in argument in favor of buffing other caps rather than nerfing Carriers. The problem is not that they are OP, it's that only 1 of the 3 Races has a viable counter to an early game cap rush. This would be easily corrected with buffs not nerfs. From a balance perspective all games have to make a choice. Most

To help with your economic problems, I would advise scaling back as much as possible on research labs except for what you need to build stuff. You only need to keep them for the Ships you want to build, any upgrades or abilities researched will stay even if you no longer have the labs to research them. So unless you want to build a Novalith Network, you only need to keep 5 Mil labs after all research is done and unless you want to build Refineries, you only need 3 civ labs for trade and cultu

Reply to How to attack Vasari SB / Phasic Trap without taking horrible fleet losses? in Strategy Sins Forums

As Always a balanced fleet is the key with cracking uber defensive strongholds: Ogrovs are great but they need the proper support. You need a cheap frigate with relatively high armor and shield/hit points to fly ahead of the Ogrovs and box in the SB. I would recommend the Flak Frigate, it is great for flying right into the fray benefiting from a high damage taken/cost ratio and omnidirectional targeting. 40 or so of these is a relatively cheap investment when you can field a fleet of

Reply to Boarding Parties in Sins Rebellion Sins Forums

I like the idea of having a capture ability. I think there are ways you could easily distinguish this from "Domination" for the Advent. I would propose the following: 1- Boarding party ability could only capture Frigates & Corvettes. Domination could also capture Cruisers. 2- Boarding party would be high AM and takes a period of time to capture the ship. Domination is mid level AM and instant. 3-Boarding party targets 1 at a time. Domination would have a small AOE

If Perseverance was the starting ability for Subjugater and was a fire and forget rather than channeled buff, it would go a long way toward balancing Advent in my opinion. They will still have weak armor but they wont be utterly and completely pwnable via LRM spam.
