Collective vs Viral

yes. all it takes is a bit of cash (even a billion is fine) and you`re good to go, esp if food rates are high. With the brigs as well as higher build rates for collective, you could easily capture a ton of ships really quickly. Brigs alone have made it possible to be able to combat and capture the various spams without having to resort to galleon/bark spams, but the missiles added to the galleon and the the lowered range for borrs have made it a LOT better against virals. Then once you capture those ships, you can have a fleet that is literally unpredictable. Will the sneaky collective have pyths and angels on top? a galleon spam? brigs? hercs and nirvs? No way to tell unless you know the last guy he smacked.

And even when I go all out and build ships like crazy with next to no income, it`s still hard to use up a billion in cash. :P

When I see you slapping good virals, like DarckKnight or loof with your tiny collective give me a call.
P.S. By "slapping" I don`t mean spamming. And collectives can be easily played at higher PR because of their capturing ability and stuff, the build rates aren`t that bad now as well.

DrunkenMasters because collective are a low build rate low power combat style none planet hoarding race with insanely sexy ships

being able to use use prepared planets from explore races for farming would totally ruin the game and the race would just suck due to complete easynes , it would be another form of viral , it would be more superior than Marauder also

ide also like to point out collective slap virals all over the place just to pass the time , or is that just me?

Collectives would actually have to GET a viral cluster, which would be when the blue moon falls out of the sky or when a viral on a binge takes over a week to sober while the masses pick at his stacks like chickens digging for worms. Either way, Virals prey on anything that moves and Collectives pick up what pieces are leftover from the frenzy.

An honestly decent idea, although it would be a one-way transfer in reality. Which is Virals taking from Collectives, if I didn`t sum it up well enough before.

I like the idea.

whats an illigal?

virals can make insanely sexy 4 colony clusters , collective would just thrive off these and diminate the food market , would also encourage planet transfer wich is illigal :/

collective should be able to grow food on assimilated clusters as well

Sure, divert a little attention from the Terran and A. Miner majority. I like it.
Maybe I don`t care... I`m uninformed because I have yet to play either race. =P

Excellent idea. Otherwise Collectives and Virals will continue preying on Terran and Miner and not on each other.

i think its a good idea

your just saying that coz ur col and ur tired of having no use for viral planets XD

Might work, but it would be nice if collective could grow food on terran clusters too.
