Re: OT: Killer weapons in games rant
organic races, which i favor, wouldnt like 4k increase in minerals because thats about all their ships cost - in minerals, that is.
argh, i just got realy frustrated - ive spent over a MONTH and more before, trying the game on hard (most people dont even try on hard - its like HIGH bonused AI in SE)... and now that im successful (beating the strongest enemy to dust, slowly taking his planets... one by one...) another one, long forgotten, comes out with the same replica of the weapon - but instead of 1-6 ships faced with my fleet of 18 (thats a lot, for heavy ships there) they have a fleet of 23, EACH with that kill-with-one-shot weapon. didnt even get to fire at 'em.

That is a (very) small exception to the general principle. Most players do not take Organic Race, so the change in minerals cost for their ships is minimal. |

Re: OT: Killer weapons in games rant
He probably can't research it, it being a special weapon for that race. But from the FAQ:
Question: Kra'hen forces always defeat me with their Destructor Ray. How can I defend?
Answer: Use the Computer Jammer invention.
Is that the weapon?

Re: OT: Killer weapons in games rant
DUH i should be reading... thanks Phoenix, i never bother with the manuals  guess i should sometimes. Computer Jammer is a kind-of weapon, yes. It should only work in close range.
Right. i guess they cant hit me then.
thanks!
but the point remains 
Fyron - 4k minerals is still a lot, it is one month of production for most races.

Re: OT: Killer weapons in games rant
faq right, should read better but it was 3am  whats most annoying is that i actually pinned down the Kra'hen, and their destructor beam didnt help them - it doesnt matter how well you shoot if you CANT shoot wonderful strategy.

On Cruiser to Battleship, it is only 1500 more minerals, not 4000. Normal C&C costs 2500 minerals or more for larger ships. Keep that in mind. That 1500 is often not a full turn more of construction. |
