There’s some jealous fatties down under.

Well the beta 2.0.2 patch raises the max number of titans from 3 to 20.... so lategame fleets will be even slower and vulnerable to fast fleet shenanigans.

Yeah you can design a fleet that can wipe out an opposing fleet 3x its size with the right load outs. If they have lots of corvettes, go for high rate of fire, high tracking weapons. Lots of point defense for missiles etc. PD and flak stacking can pretty much shut down a missile-based fleet...

Oh yeah never use the auto-designs lol. The targetting computer slot should prolly be relabeled “ship role computer” or something, since it governs that design’s behavior in battle...you want to optimize the ship’s behavior with its loadout...standoff weapons should be artillery, high-evasion...

Yeah once you’ve got them upgraded with three ion beam platforms and all the passives they can do a good job holding their own until a fleet can crawl there. I get the logic of putting the bulk of the starbase upkeep costs on the platforms actually. Late game you’re gonna need dozens of...

Havent actually seen the AI field a all-torpedo corvette fleet, but yeah, they'd certainly fuck up speed-fitted cruisers. But then again, just about everything else will.

Cruisers with two tier-2 afterburners are just as fast as a destroyer with one afterburner (speed 221). With a fast admiral nd 2+ system sighting it is almost impossible to catch a fleet of them with battleships... so you can destroy anchorages (fleet cap) or shipyards or pull their main fleets...

Battleship Corvette Destroyer Cruiser Cruiser CAN be fitted out to tank but if you're not building them for speed why bother building them at all. And speed is hellaciously good right now.

Well it's UNDERGROUND and the entrance is cloaked.

Yeah it might be a bit of a bug or at least an oversight. If you notice fleets disperse WIDELY upon engagement now but they travel in far tighter packs. So once a fleet engages you'll see fast ships spread out to try to get each ship beyond the retargetting range of torpedoes... ...Starbase...

Yeah if your opponent isn’t fielding much PD or strike craft, torpedo boat corvettes and fast cruisers with double afterburners can easily destroy starbases long before a response fleet can engage them and simply run away. With two afterburners a cruiser is the same speed as a destroyer with...

Wait till you’re close to winning. You pretty much need regional fleets with a set of starbases to facilitate upgrades/ replenishment. After posting my hunch about Cherryh’s pacing rewarding fanatic pacifist/xenophile build I tried it out a hyper-growth fanatic pacifist/xenophobic Inward...

How solid is your subwoofer? This soundtrack can cause serious damage.

Does it have the 60+ mins of cut scenes?

Yeah. The inhibitors are pretty expensive upkeep too. Actually, turtling with more than a handful of citadels gets prohibitively expensive. I got into a mid game cash/mins crisis after updating a few key citadels with ion beam platforms. Had to downgrade/sell off a ton of shit just to get...

Or aryan ubermenschen letting three million subhumans into their country to impregnate their sisters.

The other guy had gorilla blood and Creed is Wakandan-American. Harambe Strength and Ghetto Training trumps any dumbass Kangz potion.

Yeah it's definitely a new game so it took some getting used to the new ideas in place. I'm pretty close to winning with my first new game, but I can see where all the old assumptions are either obsolete or dramatically changed. The slower pacing goes waaay beyond the early game. If anything...

Shadowbane with a modern, stable platform.

It's definitely a different game. It's suspicious that they didnt discuss slowing down the early game so much, which is the first and biggest change veteran players will experience. I enjoy it, but not at the cost of forcing the starlane-only border creep on everyone.

I've gotten all the dlc's so I don't have a lot of context versus vanilla, but I can say I usually DO try to scoop up one or more of the leviathans tho. The fortress tech is usually pretty killer.

Noodle’s just turning around on how awesome General is versus that cucked Grownup Forum hugbox.

The God-Emperor disbanded it after some cucks fell for the fakenews doublethink over Charlottesville. That advisory board was crucial to several of Trump’s earliest executive orders and even informs the FCC’s recent recommendation to approve SpaceX’s minisat high speed broadband network, of...

Weeell, SJW congressional candidates believe SpaceX wants to blackmail earth by dropping moon rocks onto the earth sooo.

Well what the fuck did you expect them to translate it to then?

Absolutely NOT an oversight. Intersectionality only flows downstream. Just as gays would sneer at trannies and Muslims rape the shit out of their feminist allies, Black Audiences throw dey popcorn and grapedrank at the screen at the mere HINT of gay romance.

Hahahhaha I bet they only suppressed the negative reviews from American markets! In other regions all the reviews are factored in.

What most people call “austistic min-maxing” I just call “playing RPGs”.

He was the most realistic character in the whole movie. Raised by a single mom. Lost his father to black-on-black violence. Believes true power rests on gold chains.

Stross has always been SJW. He basically set out to be the anti-Richard K. Morgan. If you were looking for a less adorkable/boing-boing crew modern cyberpunk that is the opposite of Stross’ SJW shit, go read Black Man (titled Thirteen in the US) right now. It’s by Altered Carbon author...

Yeah I'm particularly interested in the two columns labelled "People who watched the movie" vs. "People who bought their own tickets".

I mean they kinda HAD to do that. The Marvel Asian Superhero movie is gonna be super-boring. "What's your superpower?" "Oh I mastered differential calculus at 12 and graduated Harvard at 16."

Just sayin. If it WAS logical, then it means the Wokandans must have gotten that much richer and more advanced by selling all their neighbors as slaves to the Triangle Trade.

Just eyeballing here, but at a quick glance all the wealth and development in Wokanda reflects waaay more capital formation and wealth concentration for a mineral-extraction based economy. Which means in centuries past, that capital formation was driven by trade. And in those centuries before...

It’s a way to slow down the early game; or at least make early rushes more expensive. With the old method of splitting up your 3 starting corvettes and queuing up their jumps you could reveal all the potentially habitable systems in your third of the galaxy in a year or two. Thing is, you...
