Now this one can't see being to overpowered... but I am curious to see how others would stack them against eachother
Sins can't be quantified. That being said, they do make extensive use out of energy weapons which will all but completely bypass barriers. So assuming Sins shields can withstand a hit or two from a ME dreadnaught, ME loses.
Well, it also depends on what factions are involved in the war. The Reapers might be a bit much for the Vasari to handle with their limited numbers, where as they would just be a drop in the bucket for the TECs already massive problems.
Which faction we talking about? Vasari could pretty easily beat the ME races, either due to their Phase Missiles and DEWs, or their superior tech in many terms. The Advent could do quite a lot of damage, and probably win, either due to their psychic abilities and their reliance on DEWs as well. But they'd probably end up with more casualties, if only because they rely more on shields than armor. The TEC are definitively going to be coming off mixed. They use a mix of conventional and laser weaps, but at the same time, their ships are heavily armored, which probably compensates for it. Of course, that's in space combat, and assuming that no superweapons are used.
I was thinking either Advent or TEC actually... I have a low opinion of the Vasari after getting my but thoroughly kicked every time I try and play as them
You get your butt kicked playing AS the Vasari? How? Their ships are the most powerful to start and by the end, if you play it smart, they have the greatest mobility through their Phase Stabilizers. Plus their starbases can move within a gravity well which negates any advantage any torpedo ships may have. Vasari and TEC are the two easiest factions for me. TEC basically shits out money and the Vasari have the tech to bypass everyone.
shrug I don't get it either, but as Advent I usually win as TEC I usually either just barely win or lose... Vasari I barely get started when a fleet of a few dozen carriers show up as my home world and wipes me out
What the hell? How are you losing as the Vasari more then the Advent or TEC? Phase stalblizers are hilariously broken, you have an order of magnitude more flexibility then the Advent and TEC, if you max tech, you know where everybody is all the time, so you can easily defend whatever border you want whenever, your ship's missles can ignore shields, etc.
Sins of Empire wins against ME universe. Reasons: They use DEW weapons and phase missiles which it is dangerous to ME ships. Their kinetic barriers are shit against DEW weapons. Next.
Shrug not sure what a do wrong as that species but I've never made it more than halfway up the tech tree before the capital ship/s with the fleet of carriers and/or other cruisers show up and wipe me out...
Novalith cannon spam is way beyond what ME could hope to acomplish. The ME races can't even build their own Mass Relays. The TEC designed themselves a small mass relay and then used it to fire Terraton nukes across star systems at people they dont like.
Oh, that's nothing. See, the Advent do the same thing.... except they fire interstellar mind control beams! Sins of a Solar Empire is a very Spacebattles game.
Don't blitz. Buy the carrier for your first capital ship and spread out to the surrounding gravity wells, researching phase missiles and the tech line leading to the phase stabilizer. Then it's pretty much just building your empire/fleet and steam rolling everyone. With the phase stabilizer, you can have one or two manufacturing worlds and just pump out ships and send them anywhere in your empire. Last game I played, by the end of it I had phase stabilizers at just about every one of my planets.
This. You then build one of their super weapons and use it to create a lane to your enemies heart land. Land a fleet right past their defenses, kill everything for a couple jumps in either direction, then use the same tactic to retreat. Combined with being able to rush ships anywhere in your empire, this effectively makes the Vasari unbeatable if you can force the opponent to conform to your tempo.
Some people don't have the personalaty to use the Vasari effectivly, they just like a straight up slug match and starbase spam, and don't usually think of fancy tactics, and as we all know fancy tactics are what vasari are made for.
You have to wonder what exactly is chasing the Vasari. Whatever they were, they were capable of steamrolling the Dark Fleet, which I believe had hundreds of capships, supplied by hundreds of worlds. I am fairly certain that they would defeat the ME races.
Probably the race that made the Phase Inhibitors or the 'something' that was delayed by a precursor race using this technology
Ah, you should know a thing about SoSE: They heavily use DEWs, which, they blatantly ignores ME's kinetic barriers, so yes, they would have firepower advantage.
well, I know that, but the last "SoSE in ME" thread was limited by the fact that no one had any calcs.
