Those crazy Germans! Also, Oatesy, I am considering writing up a "one-shot" story. About Keskel-119 from A Trader's Gambit . During a spywar. During the events of ATG . Hopefully it will be posted this week. Maybe.
[quote who="Seleuceia" reply="152" id="2969396"]On the other hand, SC themselves move fast, so if you can get to the grav well quick enough the ogrovs can't even do tricks to avoid fighters...after all, fighters move faster than scouts... [/quote] And scouts are also cheaper than carriers or hangars. It's a tradeoff; a scout "squadron" is more likely to actually catch Ogrovs that are doing hit&run if they have to chase them down.....but God help the Ogro

[quote who="Swiss Knight" reply="216" id="2968651"]And as we keep saying, to accommodate the AI we would need to remove all our biggest features to the point where you might as well just play Vanilla sins.

[quote who="Twilight_Storm" reply="133" id="2966898"]I agree, but they are just a bit too strong, even for the role they are supposed to be for. Granting them an anti-building ability seems a bit more reasonanble, since it wouldn't be able to be used constantly. If buildings were supposed to insta-pop, they wouldn't have armor. -Twilight Storm[/quote] And buildings don't instapop. It's a cost/benefit thing; the more anti-structure cruisers you ha

[quote who="Twilight_Storm" reply="131" id="2966763"] but I honestly don't like the concept of a ship that is highly destructive vs buildings with its basic gun.[/quote] I dunno though. The anti-structure cruisers are good for only building-busting. If they weren't very good for the task that they were designed for, then they would almost never be employed.
[quote who="DirtySanchezz" reply="129" id="2966556"]I wish there were a way to tap into each frigate factory and tell them how to make the ships--what their attack range should be when they come out, whether to have auto join fleet on, and whether auto attack should be on (for scouts and colonizers and the like).[/quote] You and the modders both, man. You and the modders both.
