from Sins Forums

I been around since release so I've seen the ups and downs of the balance game. So why did you or how did you manage to 1.04 Sins again. Bah!!!!!! I mean it was almost there and this.........

 Lrm spam wtf....what happen to fighters countering them?

IMHO Advent is op in several aspects.

Bronken indeed. I'm hanggin up my Sins carer till it gets back on track. And the dev should roll back the nerf ont he carriers. IT should fix most fo the issues. And game will be fun to play again at least.

Using 5 or 6 flak as escort can fully suppress 14-15 squads of fighters and make them almost ineffective against about 20 LRMs. Good luck getting light frigates anywhere near the flak with 20 LRMs protecting them. I agree something needs to change. If fixing LRM spam was the goal before then the 75% build penalty against carriers has reversed the trend.

I agree, the penalty is too severe.  The range increase for the flak was good.

Your arguments are rather vague, and you give no proofs to any of your statements.

This comes off as a whine thread, more than a legitimate complaint thread.

Elaborate if you want to make your points!

Start reading and come back here and tell me someone can't vent. You'll notice here my post is very short and brings nothing spectaculer to the conversation but that in those 6 outehr post my replies are very detailed.

Ya, what he said^........... and its not just a whine thread. Its more of an omfg what the flying f__k are you guys doing thread. Also I feel I've been with the game since release. So I've earned the right to bitch if it is called for.  From 1.01 to 1.02 entrenchment we went from a small but manageable carrier spam issue and mainly flak was just too weak. So they buffed flak and nerfed carriers. It seems to me the one cancels the other. Hince a new or reoccuring issue. This new nerf not only kills carriers it kills there counters. This only promotes huge early lrm flts. Which no S*** favors Advent. }:)

Hmmm... Not to ruin the fun, but if LRM spam is too strong to properly use carriers, spam on support and heavy cruisers... wouldn't that work?>_>

EDIT: In the early game, you probably could counter LRM spam with LRM spam... but that kinda ruins the fun, doesn't it?^_^'

Koda that doesnt work at all. you can spam HCs but any good player who is rushing will see your 5 labs and kill them pretty quickly.

Really to counter a teir 2 unit you shouldnt have to build a teir 5. and look at how much more expensive HCs are.

the only real counter to lrfs again is with the advent. their scouts have the same stats as their LFs, making them an effective counter to lrfs but, TEC and Vasari scouts dont work near as well.
