Sorry for the pretentious sounding title i edited it, the fleet supply idea may be a little much but it's the idea of the upgrade that i was looking for feedback. The other issue is if the starbase upgrade is not unique you can mass trade orkies on your planets and accumulate insane amounts of resources. The other issue is the lack of drawback on the VR orky (No fleet supply/Capital Supply usuage) It adresses alot of the complaints as well as delaying the Mobile Orky.

I'd like to see the Rankulus reduced in size it doesn't look right atm, it should be a smaller capital ship.
[quote who="saracen16" reply="20" id="3161433"]As a huge Vasari fan (I can't stress this enough), I think they're way overpowered. I literally had a fleet of Corvettes (about 25 or so) destroy a level 1 Marza Dreadnought in the orbit of a blue star (cue laughter of Sulsurak Corvette pilot). The Titans themselves are also ridiculously strong, and the phase-jumping Orky was literally a last straw. I can understand the need to add more features, but I think these things have to be nerfed
How it will be fixed: The research now provides a star base upgrade: " Prototype Orkulus Phase Engine ", This upgrade consumes a single upgrade slot , X fleet supply, and X capital slots, in addition only 1 Orkulus phase engine may be active at any single moment. What this change does: 1. Fixes issues with unlimited trade orkys for insane resources. 2. Reduces the effectiveness of the orky when mobile by

[quote who="bilun" reply="2" id="3160842"] Quoting Nichtganz, reply 1 ... The Vasari titans atm are not the best, the Antimatter drain on the VR Titan is over the top and could use some tuning but compared to the other racial counterparts they are quite weak. You joking? Nanoleech isn't "a bit over the top", it's a single ability that's more powerful then entire other titans, In a single ability it pre
[quote who="GoaFan77" reply="29" id="3160864"] Quoting Nichtganz, reply 27 Honestly There is nothing wrong with massed bombers, this is what happens when you let games drag out and you dont have decisive battles. Anti-air frigates massed pretty much hard counter bombers not to mention there are a million other counters. Not hard enough to save your capitalships. Flaks only do 75% damage to bombers, decent but not a hard counter. [/quote]

You need to explain what makes them OP before I'd agree, At this point in time TEC is overpowered as far as unit cost efficency and economy is concerned. The Vasari Loyalists atm have a monstrous economic advantage with stripped that could be adressed but beyond that they are working as intended increasing the time it takes to scuttle planets would be a good place to start (as this would balance strip and delay their economic advantage). The Rebels are OP because of the low tier t

That's the reason why last game I only built cruisers when facing a level 8 Vorastra titan. The Maw never sucked any ship in. That's interesting because I've watched The Maw work against Kodiak cruisers repeatedly. Maybe it only works against specific cru
[quote who="geetakingle" reply="14" id="3159831"]I can't tell from the video clip, but I believe that the ships that weren't destroyed were Iconuses (ie cruisers). In game, the Maw ability targets only frigates and corvettes. That might be the reason.[/quote] No. The Maw works on cruisers, try it in game.
I actually uploaded a video displaying the problem, I didnt upload High resolution because of the slow upload speeds but it shows the problem i had mentioned previously. The way it instagibs frigates and cruisers is unreliable, it should instagib any ships it manages to pull. Edit: Notice how during the first few waves it kills the ships but not for the full duration. Also notice the corvettes that were pulled in and not destroyed this ability needs alot of work. [video]

The ability is fine as designed but i believe the instagib mechanic of it only lasts for the first few waves and afterwords just pulls frigates toward it. THIS needs to be fixed if anything.
Honestly, it just needs to be scaled down a little it's just too big in relation to the other command ships.
Start -> Kortul Devestator -> 5 Skirmishers -> Colonization frigate -> Weapons Lab -> Assialant reasearch -> 5-10 Assailants -> Research 2nd Cap ship -> Rankulus -> More Assailants -> Begin researching for stripped to the core -> Build Jarrasul -> Annihilate the Galaxy Edit: Remember loyalists can get their titan out pretty quickl
[quote who="Timmaigh" reply="48" id="3157732"] Quoting LHDAllaxul, reply 47 I would hazard a guess that The Maw doesn't actually "kill" but is more a super instant salvage mechanic and thus doesn't trigger the experience process. Not a bad balancing aspect for such an insanely powerful ability IMO - it is capable of instagibbing huge numbers of enemies and turning them into resources in your bank afterall. I agree with the need fo

Yeah i was amazed. I thought atm the Corsev is probably the strongest capital ship (For TEC at least)

[/quote] The problem with the Eradica is that it is a major pain in the ass and offensive power house, it becomes stronger as its fleet dies and goes invulnerable when it dies and when you rebuild it gets to pull the same shenanigans all over again.

[quote who="Timmaigh" reply="7" id="3156448"] Quoting Sakhari, reply 4Seems to me, whatever you summon in this situation isn't going to distract the player from killing the titan. If someone gets the titan down to 'critical' health (especially as low as 1000 as Volt said), they're going to commit to finishing the job. In most cases, this would probably just end up being a weaker sacrificial ability like the ART's ultimate which nobody seems to like much as
I dont think stripped is overpowered, the amount you get is a little over the top but you sacrifice alot by going completely mobile, not to mention the mechanic isn't working very well atm. I'm fine with VL economy being nerfed but the mechanics leave alot to be desired.
