Of course, this might be a little overpowered for TL (especially vs Advent) so to balance it out we could possibly modify existing abilities to help counter them. I don't think the Vasari really need any help in this area, they are already great at destroying hard targets with Phase Missiles, Subverters, the Kortul's ultimate ability, the Orkulus, and Nano Disassembler.

To help the Advent out, Repulsion could be modified to affect Starbases, which would give some breathing room for Advent fleets, and make the Iconus Guardian even more important than it already is x3.

As for the TEC, I think they have this decently covered with the Ragnarov on the Rebel side, and I think if the Kol were to be buffed some, GRG might actually come into play with the Kol using its strong armor to survive getting in close enough to use GRG to slow the Starbase down. Plus, if nothing else, the TEC can just wear down something like this through sheer attrition.

That's true, I suppose TL could use something that's a bit of a "WOW" factor to help them out.

Naturally I have to assume that you are applying this view to the rest of your post.  If you deny this point then your post just doesn't make a lick of sense.

So how is the game dynamic isn't already skewed? By your first statement you already agree with me, yet you choose to disagree.

The only reason people think the dynamic isn't skewed is because of years of conditioning and because it already exists in the game. 

Yet when used properly, they still utterly fail at defending their gravity well, with the exception of the orkulus.  The orkulus takes almost no skill to use, is a solid barrier, and is far stronger. 

What you state here already exists in the game.

Recently I used an advent starbase, for the first game i've used a SB in about 50 games.  It turned the tide of the battle.  The thing is the frequency when the Advent starbases are used properly is about that often.  They cost the same as other SB's, yet the vasari one wins every time, so sieges are always in the vasari favor.  Titans changed this dynamic a bit, yet titans are a luxury, not usually built under pressure(without feed) because of their cost.

Orkulus starbases are used as a rule.  You see them all the time.  Vasari rebel tech for jumping starbases ensures they will be the main form of combat fleet for that faction.  Always effective, never situational. 

So, there is a large gap in usefulness.  This gap is largely due to the fact that one orkulus defends a whole gravity well.

Yes indeed I can, I currently face this ALMOST EVERY time i play against a vasari player nowadays.  Now VL players expand as rapidly as they can, starbase chokepoints as always, yet now they also starbase their whole empire.  This effectively makes them impossible to kill except as TEC.  So as advent, you will just sit there knowing that your gimped starfish can't kill a vasari starbase.  You can't use your bombers to kill a vasari starbase due to phasic trap.  You can't attack because their are phase jump inhibitors up.  I don't think you have actually played good vasari players.

Instead you have to go destras.

Then the vasari player spams carriers, as it takes a lot of destras to kill a vasari starbase.  vasari players carriers eat destras for lunch.

No contest, and almost no skill involved.

My addition to the game adds skill and adds defense.

Sure, some games will last longer and be more grindy.

Sins already appeals to people with a longer than average attention span, so why not appeal to the existing population?

Anyways, why are you so mad? Can't have a civil discussion?  Please keep it civil.

I do actually state that SOME games will be more grindy.  I did not say that I consider this to be bad gameplay.  You would have to play a bit of online multiplayer to know what I mean.

Even if the orkulus gets a pure power nerf, I would still push for starbase mobilization for all factions, because its still a major imbalance in the game.

Note the word use of "major".  If it was a minor imbalance I wouldn't take the time to outline it.

You've convinced about zero people with this closing line.  Emotional outburst does not a good argument make.

I find this very hard to imagine, since titans eliminate this possibility quite well.  Some titans are better at this then

others.

Well if my suggested game improvement gets implemented after the patch, I could prove this to you over and over via livestream how incorrect this assertion is.

endgame has a lot higher stakes, and its a lot easier to lose a huge portion of your fleet.  So it can happen, and i've seen it happen all the time.  Endgame is more about teamwork then 1v1 balance. 

With teamwork, TEC and Advent starbases are practically irrelevant, while the orkulus can still shine in a 2v1 situation.  Movement is key.

The developers can use movement as a way to balance the starbases so they aren't overpowered. 

You really don't have to nerf.

Hmm cpt siddy, if you learned to read you would know that I don't care about lore in this game. 

MP isn't shit because VR are totally banned.

Anyways, i've already stated on many other threads about how to balance jumping starbases.  This thread isn't about VR.  Naturally VR need to be balanced, and there are many threads on this.  Please stay on topic

From Nigeria I am not.

You belong in the single player/role playing/modding forums

go make urself a mod with all these hair brained ideas so you can RP in SP to ur hearts content, and not subject us to your neverland.

is he good is he?

I'm ok, not awesome so ur probably right.

I've been playing less competitively recently too in favour of more fun style games

Oh, irony. Hopefully you´ll remember this next time you start calling people names.

It might seem like they are, but 90% of people in this thread have voiced strong opposition to the idea then, following the above mentioned excrement that is coughed forth from sareths oral opening,

he is then either facepalmed or told to fuck off

Please work out your own personal emotional issues in your own thread. Also, by the nature of the forum medium, people are far more likely to make a response about something they don't like, so your anecdotal "evidence" is just that.  

Yet, Being able to add to the developer's ease of balance is critical with starbases.  ALL starbases can be made slower or faster with the ability to move, greatly increasing/decreasing their efficacy.  Even the VASARI starbase speed could be nerfed overall, so all starbases would become very slow indeed, assisting in their balance.

I am just providing a rough ratio for balance and a new aspect to the game design in this thread.  Its not like I haven't already gone into great detail outlining how the big "super abilities" of the TEC and advent could be altered to make them balanced if these were to be made mobile.

The opposition to such an idea has been hilarious so far. 

for example, take this response:

Riddleking can't even provide reasons yet he opposes the view.  This is like dealing with a child.

lol, you can't wrap your head around what I am.  Keep trying, as this search will assist in improving your education.

You convince people one person at a time.  That is how the world changes.

Feel free to point them out, many have tried, all have failed quite horribly.

So, I could ask you, have you attempted to use reason in your conversation with me?  I can clearly state that NO, you have not.

Technically speaking, my fingers have been creating the "bullshit" that you think is being created.  I promise you, i'm not rotting now, and I don't plan on doing any rotting anytime soon.

As for spewing crap on the forums, I would charge you as guilty.  If I wanted to watch the world burn I would buy some gasoline and beer.  I wouldn't spend time typing on an internet forum.

Now please, get back on topic and use some reason, please.

please stay on topic
