[quote]If you want to pursue those metrics further (because that is potentially interesting info, you're right) you should actually try these build orders and time yourself to see how long it takes to make that many units. This will give a more realistic representation without having to crunch income and independent build queues mathematically. My hunch is that $$$ will be the bottom line of how quickly you can get these things out the door. I remember the harshest carrier rush I e

[quote]First of all, my math was overly generous. I didn't count the free carrier cap (on the unrealistic presumption that your first capital ship somehow negates it), only the second cap. If you lead with a colony cap or a battleship cap, then you have to counter both of these carriers strike craft with cruisers. If you like I'll append some more math to show you what happens if you get hit by 3 carrier caps and don't have a carrier of your own. Again, the hard facts: Capital Ship

So... I built this out as a personal mod, and atleast for myself, it just felt right for my style of SP play. I justify my own idea of the Lore issue by assuming military research labs are necessary for producing the more complicated/experimental components that are required by Frigate and Capital Factories when constructing ships. The loss of the labs means the loss of the critical technology required to produce the ships. So if I want an advanced siege capital ship for

[quote]well, one thing to remember about mods that use research-linked caps- they probably do this to create a sense of progression, and in the case of some mods (Dawn of Victory comes to mind), to create a sense of scale.

It's interesting this exists for basic ships but not capital ships. <

I just wanted to chime in here in case the devs got the wrong idea, and decided to nerf carrier capitals, LOL. I don't think I've seen anyone complain that carrier capitals are OP. Most people I have spoken to like the level of "buff" for carrier caps, and want it for the other caps as well. In other words, the carrier capitals aren't OP, the other capit

[quote]While this would solve carrier-cap rushes, I have to ask: at what cost? This will kill capital ship diversity, really cut down on early game strategy, and possibly make even more capital ships unused since players will never bother to get such high level prerequisites.

my bad, copy/paste error continued with glorious fashion from Darvin3's post. It should be subvertors to disable a fleet. And the subverters use their Distortion Field ability to disable the frigates from moving away and disables their weapons so they cannot destroy the mines before they activate. Edit- I'm not questioning whether zoomers used overseers or not in Darvin3's game only my recollection of the matterin my game. As I've heard this described in other threads Subver

I've brought this up in another post, but... I would be more for nerfing the LRF's ANTIMEDIUM's Very Heavy and Capital damage to 50% (similar to LF which is ANTIHEAVY). They would still be affective at taking out a capital and structures over time (similar to LF), just not as affective as bombers or HC. I'm also more in favor of buffing Capital's ship damage modifiers to 125-150% for Very Heavy and below. It seems odd that normal LF and Cruisers get a damage modifi

Here's what I remember: You drop in your minelayer's, subverter and carriers for fighter coverage on the edge of the gravity well and draw them in with your starbase constructor. Once you draw their fleet in, especially heavy Illum, you lay the subverter trap and deploy your mines right on top of their fleet. You may or may not have the starbase up and co

Reply to Dual Halcyon in Strategy Sins Forums

On a side note with the Dual Halcyon, Dual Sova, etc. I wonder how much different this game would be if Capital ships (excluding the colonizer) required research just like every other ship passed the scout/LF/colonizer ships. You could actually justify bigger/badder capital ships coming out mid to late game. I think the Star Trek mod is a good example of this.
