GC/Rt mineral shortage

well, i thought you started with spamming 5 posts below....

Of course the amount of usage of the lictor depend on personal taste, unfortnunately the game is entirely unaffected by taste, there only bare facts count. And it is a bare fact, that lictor loses against every commonly used ship of terrans, collective, virals and marus, it even gets beaten by the usual miner ships, so to claim, the lictor is reasonable is not realy a realistic point of view.

Finally I admit, the lictor has its usages, it actually owns Empereurs.....

Okay, you know what, if you still think Lictors stink, then stop arguing, i have different tastes and i still use them when i can, so therefore they are still useful to me to stack with, and if you dont i see your point, im tired arguing over different views and tastes of battling.

Species, your first saying on defense, and now your asking offense? I see your point, but if its a spam its a spam, but why spam lictors ... are you saying we should win 1 colony with a lictor spam eh?

Magnus ... i dont know, i proposed a few more changes and so did others, who knows whats going on there.

well Omegian, your "freaking spam of lictors on careful, sure ill win 1 colony" argument needs a little makeover: If your lictor spam hits for example a pyth stack, which is a factor 2.8 smaller (2.8 lictor pr per 1 pr pyth), it directly bounces from the very first stack. There is not even the necessarily for flanking to loose the fight.

and concerning the herc-nirv-tyr, loosing always at least 2 colonies to dumb halfspams is for me NOT a decent defense.

If A Miners are supposed to be an easy race why do you make it so hard to fight with them? Terrans can make just as much money but have better ships and they are easy as well. Why not move A miners to a medium or hard race. Half the game is fighting anyway, after all this is Galactic CONQUEST. But seeing how they are easy why keep nerfing their ships and making them harder?

i am not about to argue here. Just sit back and read

Alright, i get the point uber ...

Lictors fighting on attack should probably be done with some stacking and best ships, like flysche, lyth lictor, how to stack it according to others thats their deal, but ill probably like to use lyth, flysche, lictor, but if you want me to just do a freaking spam of lictors on careful, sure ill win 1 colony, woopty do or fail to their spam since that is what RT is mostly.

Herc, nirv, tyr spam at 130% 2 colonies on normal, now thats with me building 20 lictors, 30 lyths and 40 mflysche ... just like if im getting out of dp, no wipeout though.

So lets see, meets your criteria of not a total loss, but yes on attack they will stink unless its a counter and you can do more than 130%, even 150% could make a difference.

Take into affect that stacking helps it out, and plus of course, like im going to argue, different attack styles from me to antoher person and how i might place lictors in my stack if i stacked with 4-5 stacks of balanced ship prs ...

Done

FYI, borrs rape Lictors, no joke, the mods say it by heart ... but you know why must i do more work when ive made my argument as clear as possible, good night.

I will not get yelled at for this, because yes Lictors stink unless you stack, that simple folks, gg, why people except a select few dont get that, i dont know why. Heck, even emperurs i could own with if i stacked with it i bet, OOO.

yea 1000% is not enough for miners. theyre so poor they need 10000% mineral generation to be rich.
leave a good thing alone? was the old lictor a good ship? O.o

Maraudian. That was probably the most imbecilic comment ever. Gj.

if a ship cant take on capital ships and you expect your enemy to have them , you use another ship were you think that capital will be , if a ship isnt that great vs capital ships , then its only naturally to keep it lower down , but hell this works the other way round too

its called tactics and stacking

Sorry Omeg, but that`s an awful weak arguement. You don`t need "hours on end" to think about hm.... Lictor vs Pyth? Ouch. Hm.... Lictor vs Nirvana? Ouch. Hm... Lictor vs Juggernaut? Ouch. etc o.o

well, i dont want to keep you busy all day, i just would like to see one example out of everydays life (like the typical terran herc-nirv-tyr attack combo, or a pyth/ruby spam on normal/carefull, or a viral long-range-aggressive attack ect....), where the lictor actually makes a good figure in a (reasonable important) defense position.

you really want me too, *sigh* with my fighting style or yours species, i presume your not accounting for that or for how i like to stack, might be way different and might make the lictor look horrible in yours. I dont know, and i wont make a list right now, when i have time maybe this weekend to spend hours on end on GC, then i will.

"i wont battle sim all the ships in the world"
well, probably you should, if you claim, that he lictor is decent. I payed a lot, and simed a lot, and i find only very unlikely constellations, where the lictor is catually somehow usefull.

Species, i wont battle sim all the ships in the world, battle sim the ship.

Im assuming that an aspha is not spamming and having a 3-6 stack balanced so it doesnt just get outflanked by another person.

Well, sure Ultra has it reasons since everyone is climbing so high there on ultra

well, personally wouldnt call a a mineral price of 950+ with temporary dryness "flooded".

"The G. Lictor is still a decent defensive ship" Well, sorry for my lack of knowledge, but it would be great, if you could tell me, against which of the usually mainly used ships the lictor makes a decent defence. (I personally understand under a decent defence loosing less than 2 planets)

I think you just mean RT, turn based servers are already flooded with minerals for the most part, but they do have their moments as well during events.

The G. Lictor is still a decent defensive ship, its not going to be a godly ship that wins everything, sorry that doesnt happen, if you must complain about it being screwed over again by only adjusting the mods a bit, then you dont fight well with it or use its full potential.

But anyways what do i know, i played aminer without that cruddy lictor and still won alot.

You have other ships that are a "good thing".
