Hello! Last time I played a 2v2, had my ally Champ against two strange stat noobs (10 games 10 wins both, so probably smurfs thats why we were allied against them), things were going well, the two noobs were unsurprisingly not that noobs.. but not this is the main thing. After like an hour of gaming Champ paused the game for minutes, I guess he had something important to do because he didn't tell why he paused, after some minutes one player na

[quote who="Molkovien" reply="14" id="3317023"]I can understand people fearing multi player becoming bland without Vasari. But the problem is at the moment it is 100% positively bland. Every game with competent VL players turns out exactly the same way. Games go on for ages and ages, even if one high tech vl remains, because even if the opposition team have every advantage, fleet, eco, map, they have no way of trapping and killing of the vl titan. It is turning th

[quote who="Seleuceia" reply="30" id="3316985"] To be clear, you want to pick the Radiance as your lead because it has detonate AM (very useful against MB)...but, when going against an Orky early game it is going to be slightly better than the prog because of the better focus firing (not because of DA)... Now, I say that primarily because 1) most early Orky rushes don't have lots of frigate support so malice won't help too much and 2) I usually pick fighters over

There are 3 problems with Vasari Loyalist in my opinion. 1. the OP titan that cannot even be killed liked the other ones, you just micro-phase it and it's gone, have fun chasing it.. It can have AOE without antimatter that will slowly rape everything you have. Even corvettes. The level6 ability can be avoided if you handle your fleet well, but still a major threat. 2. Scuttling planets, kostura-jump to an enemy world->have f

Don't build defense structures unless really necessary, they are just wastes of money. Only build them to support the 1-2 chokepoint planets where you have a starbase to kill ai ships that will never pass that planet. Turn off pirates, online only the minority plays with them, anyway having a tradeport and a starbase is more than enough to deal with the biggest raid (assuming you are not playing the crazy Diplomacy pirates, but it would be another reason to turn them off). <p

I think the problem only occurs when there are ships nearby, so the bigger hip can't move? or something, it can uccur when you want to jump and the Titan want to turn and your ships are in the way, or when you want to escape, and enemy ships accidentally close up and even overtake your Titan or cap, disturbing it's path. Solution: try not to let them use that shitty auto-path finder, I try to give them a movement order well before the edge of the gravity well, s

Hi. I understand many online players want friend only games, or passworded ones, that OK. I even got used to only being able to join 10% or around this percentage of games in theory, BUT what is that thing that further reduces my rare opportunities of online gaming (available games number)?

It is the hardest spot in 5v5, I hope I won't get in it very often as I am far from excellent player and I often make mistakes under heavy pressure (as i am not a robot). Tactics: 1. stay alive, longer being alive, the more you helped your team. 2. reach the inner planets near the Sun, from where you can maybe restart your mission with help of others, and maybe get next to an ally who can cover you and from feed try to rebuilt something.

For wormhole, what about a captureable structure like the Kostura Cannon? Description: This ancient structure can utilize the wormhole next to it, and will instantly create a phase lane for your empire between this gravity well and another one you would like in the galaxy for some time. Or a captureable structure harvesting energy from the nearby space distortions, that can be used for almost everything? Maybe a structure preventing enemies from using the wormhole as an exit,

En masse? you mean online? I think almost noone plays mods online, as it is very rare to see games of mods, and they remain empty until the host gets bored and leaves.. Mostly I think Star Wars mods are preferred (I only saw these mods more than once online..) but for me none is at an acceptable level, although many like them, maybe you can have players for even a 2v2 at the weekends. Probably what Goa said, you will need to join a Steam group or pre-arrange the game with your friends if they

Vasari has best armor I think. They can access armor at a better way than TEC (Advent LOL, it is worse in almost everything than Vasari), although TEC can have 6 extra armor, while Vasari race can have 5 (but with 8% mass reduction or something like this). The thing that makes Vasari better is the Vasari Rebel extra upgrade I think, 3 armor 15% hull at level 8 research.. Vasari is best in so many things this is why many people don't like it, other races doesn't really have anything po

[quote who="JustAnotherName" reply="32" id="3315361"] Obviously you still don't get it. 95% or more players left the multiplayer scene because it takes too long to start a game. But if matchmaking was there in the first place, this problem will be minimal. Check starcraft 2 system to get a clue how a good ranking works. It is not too accurate for team vs team but then its still a decent one. Way better than sitting in the lobby for hours waiting for a game to start.
