Observations On Fo 3 Patch 1

A question...

How can Breen BB be so much better than the Descent?!

I was playing Feds and tryed these 2 ships against each other (i had a captured Breen BB) just for curiousity. (Descent was even with special weapon, Breen without, they were fighting at small range)

As i said, the Descent lost... cry.gif

A real waste of potential biggrin.gif

KHmmmm I doubt that lol, cause descent with the spec means that breen battleship cant fire for 21 sec and Im pretty sure descent wouldnt loose that badly
We actually did a tavara vs descent and it was pretty damn close, Tavara only had like 50 hull remaning when descent was destroyed. While Breen battleship is around the strenght of Sovie or Neghvar

hmm...
what is the purpose of the galaxy once again?
i know we had this before, but still, even if it is sooo cheap, what do yo do with it? what purpose does it serve? midgame cannon fodder? those credits are better spent later on buying a decent or a phallanx

i tend to go for nebulas with my credits, i guess its just preferance...

as for phalanx's... lets be realistic, if you have the time and resources to get these you are spending TOO much time playing vs the AI...

in a multiplayer game ive only ever got them out once.

I'm not sure if we had this one already.
In case we didn't, here it is:

If you group an Akira and a Sovereign the defense patterns are replaced in the list of special abilities by the Distortion Field-button which triggers the defense patterns.



If we already had this one, I'm sorry for double-posting it.
Thanks for reading anyway


edit:
Btw. these are my fleet's stats right after I erased a complete Klingon base with it. Cute, hm?
Okay... I played against the medium AI

Okay, a new one I haven't noticed before though I often play Federation vs. Dominion:

After I've destroyed my enemy's cloning facility something very weird is happening and I already reproduced it three times:
The nearest construction ship heads to the position of the destroyed cloning facility and starts building a new one - which appears right after two or three seconds which is not more than the time period the workbees need to get to work. So after a few seconds there's a new cloning facility which was build without build time.
I can't explain why and how.
As the AI seems to play Pure Tech I can't tell if the other avatar is also affected.

Though I modded my FO a bit I haven't done anything to the construction ships or to the cloning facilities themselves and I haven't changed anything related to one of them in the techtree neither.

So how is it possible, that a new cloning facility appears nearly right out of nowhere?
Maybe a bug?

that could be a bug in the general ai behaivor. They are not forced to the normal game mechanics in some cases.

We are working on the button handling for v3

Uhm... okay... 
Meaning, every attempt to reproduce that bug while playing Dominion Pure Tech will fail. So you saved me a lot of time (..to wait for the AI to destroy my facility.. )

Fine!
Since everyone complained about bug-spamming what would happen if the AI started base-spamming?

some of those like their cloak tracking are quite understandable and quite unfixable.
