You had it all wrong. At start you need to build only 1 capital ship which is akkan then fill fleet supply slots. That on normal fleet sizes will give you 7 cobalts... DO NOT UPGRADE FLEET SUPPLY AT THIS TIME. Once you secure first choke (which doesn't necessarily mean that you are attacking AIs only militia) - Meaning you colonised planet build frigate factory and star base it. If you do not have enough fleet supply for SB constructor scuttle few cobalts. Do same for all other ch

Yes. Less variety and max upgrades are way to go IMO. As for economy. Not sure what you are used to but 31 cred ps doesn't sound that much to me at all. You could try this. Build akkan and keep you fleet supply not upgraded and fill up slots with cobalts. Skip planets to get to choke points colonize them and Star base them all. Now upgrade capital slots and build as many capitals as you have choke points. If you found good chokes that should be 3-4 more capita

What lvl AI are you playing against. As for my opinion I think that you are mixing your fleet way too much. For instance corvettes against AI other than harassing fleet are useless. And as harass you need 60 at least to be effective and attack elsewhere not with your main fleet. As for mixing fleet you got a lot of different ship types but are they upgraded in shield hull weapons any abilities? With not much ships of same type with auto attack, as I suspect you are not doing a

[quote who="xDarkxIdealsx" reply="22" id="3384537"]i'm really getting SO sick of this game, I literally sat there for 5 minutes screaming "MOVE F$$$TARD MOVE DAMIT" because my capital ship refused to leave an enemy planet, it had 2,650 hull left and was only up against 2 capitals and a couple frigates, outmatched but still not enough to destroy it quickly. I kept telling it to leave over and over again, i tried retreat; that wouldn't work, then i tried move, that wouldn't work, th

[quote who="ZombiesRus5" reply="34" id="3384427"] Quoting Sinkillr, reply 26Disruptive Nanites and Phasic Traps PT are part of the "unholy trinity" that makes the vasari defense very difficult to break. Giving phasic traps a cap on the number of strikecraft it can trap would go a long way in reducing this inbalance. 8 seems like a good number. That way if you have a 100+ strikecraft fleet they won't be made useless by a couple of cheap defenses. IMO this

Unfortunately I had to be ill to have time to finish a game in 1 go. Just finished as promised 1v3 hard ais. Unfortunately my auto record wasn't turned on so all play style is lost but I do have auto save (there is 15 of them in RAR file - and file is rather large 30.5 MB) so you can see snapshots if anyone interested and try to play after whatever save you like.

[quote who="StormingKiwi" reply="21" id="3382799"]This is awesome stuff (For killing the AI - how does it stack up against Humans?) On my comment - yes. I don't understand how that means that Shield Mitigation makes focus firing inefficient. If you have a fleet that does 1000 dps, and you attack a fleet that does 1000 dps, if you focus fire yes SM will increase more quickly but you will be doing 350dps to one target. If both fleets have 10 ships and you attack each ship individ

HAHAHA Everyone who knows me knows that even in old days I hated vasari and I rarely played them. Now 90% of the time I play random. Rest I play advent Loyal. I do think I figured you out though. You are pitting one single ability against another single ability and you are not looking at how research and abilities complement each other into a whole. As for your OP. You are asking for hard nerf of Vasari. I am saying after titan is fixed as they said they will o

Just to validate that I know what I am talking about. Currently I am playing against 6 HARD AIs allied (can field 12000 in fleet supply) against me and have no problems of beating 2 vicious (4000 fleet supply with almost instant replacements). Vicious ais field their titans and super weapons well inside 20 min mark they have some research perks and not confirmed but i belive their titan gets auto lvl (similar to advent caps) [quote who="GeomanNL" reply="10" id="3382252"

[quote who="GeomanNL" reply="44" id="3382227"]1. The Ankylon group shield is pretty good imho. I only wish the "tight" formation would force ships in the fleet to stay close to the Titan under its shield and not outside... could someone fix that perhaps?[/quote] problem with that is that if ships are too close as soon as you issue order they will start bumping into each other and spinning on X Y Z therefore issue any order very slowly.

[quote who="JinglyGoo" reply="41" id="3382212"]It is because you can get 80 credits/s from a trade line of just 4 planets using DLC upgrades. I was eco few games ago and was up to 70-80 with a trade line of dwarf--roid--desert--volc, not maxed out either. Less planets, more development => faster eco. Expansion is less effective since DLC which is why TAR lost some of its value. Personally i never even got it prior to DLC but it had some uses for people who didnt need to feed fast and didnt
