GC unbalanced overpowerd races

With the exception of ruby and tourm which are the ideal Viral killing ships.

I was just giving you a hard time. Heh.

Essentially there is no set stack in which to use. Get to know the enemy player, and what ship/placement combos they favor, and build off that. And obviously, work off the weaknesses of the enemy race.

For example, here is a ROUGH guide George AKA PervertedGardenGnome used to throw at new players in my, and his own Federations.

Advice on Killing the various Races.
By: PervertedGardenGnome.

Terrans

Best Missile ships and general all rounders. Terrans have a good range so aggressive attacks on them arent advised unless you know your opponent well. Their large ships are weak vs chemicals so always use the queen and at least 1 runner agianst these guys.

Miners

Weakest race attackingwise but can be hard to beat a good miner defence. They have the best range defensewise but they are very weak vs Kinetic weapons so aggressive attacks are possible although a normal should be preferred. Use as many kinetic weapon based ships as u can as kills their strafez too.

Maru

Good range and good offensive ships. Not great in defence though and are weak vs Kinetic weapons. Normal attacks including sword spear and broadsword if poss advised.

Collective

Can be tricky these guys but they are weak vs big hulled ships. A fleet of large hulled ships and attacking on careful is usually enough to wipe out any collective.

Guards

Weak vs missile and chemical and low range. Use all missile ships and offensive strafez and attack on aggressive. Fodders arent too useful aganst Guards as they have a lot of Kinetic weapons but fodders are great against either of the huns.

Virals

You dont know what ships the Viral has reversed but they usually stick to the same ones from each race. The Borrelly and Chiron alone is enough to wipe anyone out though so careful attacks with lots of neutral ships work well on these. You cant capture neutral ships and they tend to fare the best against the borrelly and chiron. With the e

well it either stick to the tipical 4/5stacks

i try to make new things that will work what would you use?

Perhaps you simply svck at Stacking? ^^

iv been hit by 1 gaurd he wasnt spamming

i talking 10 stacks 100kpr each and i get hit by any 3 stack spam and im dead

agree with eph.

ruby tourm khun always win on cllective =P

well i havent >.>

but not everyone who spams them necessarily wins. I should know. I`ve won against many a spam, often at 2x pr. ^_^

<<< everyone spams the collective

Interesting!

This is selfish, but I think that Terrans could use a nod. They/I seem to struggle some with filling out a 10 level stack with real ships. P. Thors and Zeus for example can be great on the attack, but Guardians excluded, if there is one damage type that many many ships have a hard counter to it`s missile. Also, forget about defending against a careful attacker with them!

actually kelti, i dunno if he still is, but deiloche has been working on respecing pretty much all the races ships, hes posted up a few of his ideas on the forums so far and most of them have been embraced

if we can make him finish, and convince mara/stephen to take care of it, who knows, maybe itd balance things out a bit

i agree i`m sick of careful, take it away
