Yarlen Domina Suppression Range is wrong

Subverter distortion field Range is 8000km-- can counter repulsion from guardians

Command Cruiser Designate Target range is 8000km--can be used to target Guardians with javelis

Domina Suppression has a range of 6000km.. can't counter repulsion

First, MIRROR MATCH...

Second, suppression does not require the ship to face its target (distortion field and designate target do), so a range increase is going to benefit this ability a lot more than a comparable range increase to other abilities...

domina's just got a billion buffs.

and a pro starcraft player once said "mirror matchups by their very nature are always perfectly balanced"

 

but i guess this never came up before, because before you would never even touch dominas with a 10 foot poll, and now that they look just a little bit tempting, we need to make them better. right?

That said. a range of 6000 is not 'wrong', nor a 'bug', nor a 'mistake'.

That said. i could totally see a range buff if it turns out to be actually needed.

That said. Id really like to see how shit plays out just a little bit longer first.

Domina doesn't need any more love IMO.  

 

I could see it being done if the facing requirement were restored to suppression.  But the current ability doesn't need to be any more flexible.

I dont see anything wrong with giving the Domina a way to counter repulsion. It really wont put it over the line considering it cannot hit Capital Ships. Riddleking while not exactly orthodox try to test out mass Dominas + eradica for lulz.

ugh, it does still need love, it shouldn't be slightly tempting, it should be a viable combat ship.  I STILL don't build these ships because they don't really justify the cost. remember, subverters lock down whole sections of your fleet!  so they just lock down dominas first and THEN lock down the rest of the fleet....

far cheaper and far easier skill wise for the vasari tactic to outperform the advent tactic.

Well Dominas do heal for a total of 1000 hp as well as make capital ships unable to be disable. Also a large amount of Dominas can sht down alot of important ships to the enemy fleet. This combined with Repulsion is really stupid.

I almost forgot the Vasari existed because thats how long I have not seen them.

when repulse "A" hits repulse "B" the law of physics don't come into play-the two forces don't cancel each other out or create a neutral area of space..

 

Essentially you are repulsing each other up until something comes along and breaks that cycle--

 

The victor in this mirror match is dependent on micro using push and repulse.. so the situation is a click fest where it resembles the chainsaw melee attack in gears of war (he who clicks the fastest chainsaws his opponent)

 

So if 5 or so Dominas join the fleet with suppression at 8000km then the best fleet composition wins the day if you can disable enough guardians and take them out while repulsing your opponent.
