Mage Cubes regen from weapon disable really really fast...

which doesnt matter as nearly all cubes are built as tac cubes. you dont get a lot of chances to make a cube, so when you do, you make the best generalist, the statistically most likely to protect your vast investment, which is a tac cube. unless the enemy announces they intend to use specials a lot you will rarely make a mage cube. maybe if u had no money for a full tac you could make a bargain busting cube.

I dont agree...the tac cube is not better than a well backed up, nanite spamming mage cube.

haha...dont let it come to this... maybe splitting up your fleets would be good and then attack from different sides?

>...... seriously......>

From what i heard of this game he was facing cubes if he split his fleet one half would have been engaged and destroyed by the full force of the enemy then even tho the cubes may not have enough special to use nanites again the other half if his fleet would have been crushed also.

No who cares about the cubes, we need to put a limit on ships that can spam nanites. I just played a team game, a 3v3, and despite our combined fleets we got borg rolled by 5 diamonds spamming nanites. Wiped out everyone's fleet and bases in no time

Well. Not only the nanites to blame. Our scouting sucked in a way I can't describe it. And due to that the borg had plenty of time to do what he wanted. And no raiding to uplinks either, I recall.

I think nanites are fine like they are.. There shouldn't be any limit on that since it is the only real weapon Borg have.

However perhaps increasing the energy usage could help maybe. But honestly lets just wait for the Borg redo and see how it will be.
