[quote who="Greyfox2" reply="39" id="2894781"] Quoting JohnJames, reply 38Here are my reason to smurf 1) Trying new strategies. People rely on you to do well in a game. Not a good time to try new things. I try new things on my main. Some of my clanmates have tried new things on their main. You can too. My livelihood or life does not depend on it. If you mess up then nothing really changes. It's a game.

Here are my reason to smurf 1) Trying new strategies. People rely on you to do well in a game. Not a good time to try new things. 2) Busy doing other things while playing. Cant devote full attention to the game cause doing emails, phone calls, etc. 3) To not be stacked against.

[quote who="Pbhead" reply="17" id="2893901"]My assumptions are not wrong, I was comparing the damage increase to base damage, your comparing it to an equivilant damage increase. Its a different way of looking at the same thing. 30% phase missle bypass raises the damage delt against 70% shield mitigation by (.3 *.7+.3)/.3... 70%, or a factor of 1.7 from the base damage. (100 damge +> 170 damage) Now, YOUR math is wrong. .765 is NOT

Thanks for the heads up. Can you estimate when this beta will go live? Is 3 the last one?
[quote who="Annatar11" reply="37" id="2890019"]Perhaps you can share some actual evidence of your testing, because as far as I can tell, magic doesn't exist in the real world.[/quote] because lum bugged damage couldnt exist?
advent can upgrade scouts, disciples, flak and fighters with 1 upgrade. vas dont have a way to destroy mass bombers/fighters. That said phase trap does need a nerf Devs may have intended carriers caps to have the role of killing other caps while battleship have the role of killing the other type of ships. Currently the halycon can easily stop scramble bomber with deploying fighters

[quote who="Greg30007" reply="100" id="2886425"] care to elaborate? Well one game i fully upgraded AM regen and Culture AM bonus. Build 30 hoshis 30 lrms akan and 2 carriers. Had demolition boots researched as well. While attacking advent sb 35 ilums and carrier cap. Killed SB and 95% of fleet while I lost only 1 carrier cap i would say 5 lrms and hoshikas still had 50% am if looked on average. I was disabling all his Ilums and repairing at the same time.

[quote who="Ghost1-_" reply="13" id="2885588"]I have feeling subverters will still be op with these changes..rather than radius change maybe consider antimatter/cooldown changes for distortion field? A similar kind of nerf is probably needed for distortion field now, to that of repulse 1 patch ago.[/quote] lol they got a nerf not a buff

Any map issue fixes? Skirantra got nerf. How about the other two carrier caps? Carrier caps as a whole needed to be nerf No Phase trap nerf? No Repulse nerf?

lol. Sounds good

Still not on impulse. ETA?
I would like random maps still. But I would like them to symmetrical among the teams. Not advocating for set maps.
[quote who="Greyfox2" reply="21" id="2875441"]Unfortunately however the worst bomber spamming offender is the skirantra which is only AM dependant for bombers due to an ability(fairly cheap one at that). Carrier cruisers are not particularly the problem here. [_]-Greyfox[/quote] Skirantra maybe the worst but all carrier caps are currently superior to all other caps and makes picking a non carrier cap opener an up hill battle
