Annihilation/Commander Series v2: Aeon? Who gives a shit about the Aeon? - Games

[QUOTE=S31-Syntax;40555857]Really? I don't remember QAI being a UEF creation.[/QUOTE] Black Sun however....

[QUOTE=Mmrnmhrm;40557212]Black Sun however....[/QUOTE] was a device so incredible that even [I]you[/I] people wanted it, and would have used it, and it still would have had the same side-effect, don't even start that shit with me, chip-head.

Playing the occasional match of SupCom: FA with my younger brother against multiple bots. Still need to learn to balance my economy properly while making my way to tech 2, I always run into a mass shortage at some point. Also I'm shit at recon. We never see the experimental coming till it's blasting our front base to pieces.

So, how about that tournament then? Do we have anyone here who can be arsed to organize such an event?

If a hydrocarbon site is nearby, build one and place a factory next to it for a a bigger adjacency bonus for that factory. Make sure when you get to mass fabricators, ensure they are surrounded by power plants to reduce the massive power costs that it requires. This also goes for shields, stealth fields, radar and other energy using structures. To get some easy mass early on, set your engineers up to patrol areas near trees, rocks and wrecks to reclaim them for extra mass. Air wrecks are worth quite a bit, especially early on when the AI harasses with bombers which can provide quite a boost if you can knock them out of the sky. When you get mass extractors to tech 2, make sure to surround them on edges with mass storages to get 50% extra production from them. This should help boost your mass income. When you do upgrade extractors, make sure to only upgrade 1 or 2 at a time to ensure best efficiency for upgrading. Once you have a few T2 extractors, you can upgrade more at a time. For intel, building radar helps, especially Tech 3 omni sensors which have a huge range compared to T1. Naval units also provide some good radar/sonar coverage, especially T2 cruisers and destroyers. Setting up air scout patrols helps with spotting outside of radar range.

I quite like Spring (specifically NOTA), but it's multi-threading on Windows is buggy as shit for me. Works fine on my Linux partition, tho.

Kinda makes me feel bad for carpet-bombing their base with over a hundred bombers :v: Puts up an excellent fight on the ground, though their rocket artillery would do good to focus on priority targets rather than expending their first shot on anything that comes into range.

You want to talk about how mean we are now? Go tell the mothers of the billions of soldiers [I]you killed[/I] that they deserved it because someone that they, their parents, their parents parents, and their parents great great great parents have NEVER MET IN THEIR LIVES did something horrible to you 800 years ago.

Just a diffrent name. Call shit new and improved, it's still shit. Call it "willing" when you have no thoughts of your own, pig. You made the seraphim mad. You caused the infinite war.

Meanwhile while you two were bickering I have been arming this giant fuck you cannon: [IMG]http://images.wikia.com/supcom/images/d/d0/Mavor.jpg[/IMG] (Hey, the whole thread so far was just dickwaving with various weapons from the series) EDIT: Syntax and Arais's bases are now nothing but craters.

the Salem is the coolest unit in the game IMO, right above the Megalith. Mavor is too expensive to be practical in actual games.

[QUOTE=IrishBandit;40565382]the Salem is the coolest unit in the game IMO, right above the Megalith. Mavor is too expensive to be practical in actual games.[/QUOTE] Agree. There's just something beautiful about a fleet of cruisers (that's the Salem's ship class, right?) bombarding a shoreline and suddenly growing legs.

[QUOTE=S31-Syntax;40566234]How were we supposed to know Black Sun was gonna tear holes in Quantum stuff?[/QUOTE] Well, it can destroy planets. I'm fairly certain that's enough reason.

[QUOTE=S'Arais;40566372]Well, it can destroy planets. I'm fairly certain that's enough reason.[/QUOTE] And yet, despite claiming to know all the flaws in the weapon, you [I]still[/I] aimed to steal it.

[QUOTE=IrishBandit;40566548]Salem is the Cybran destroyer. The Fatboy is effective, but it's not a giant crab bot.[/QUOTE] Fatboy's range is quite amazing.

[QUOTE=Angus725;40566905]Fatboy's range is quite amazing.[/QUOTE] And its ability to be the start of a forward base is awesome. Drive forward, crap an engineer, build an Omni, and fortify that position. Its a factory, a land battleship, and an air staging platform that can travel underwater and thus across oceans.

The fatboy's biggest downfall is its god awful move speed, practically every other experimental can chase it down and kill it before the fatboy's range wins.

[QUOTE=S'Arais;40567236]And then get fucked over by 4 fire beetles.[/QUOTE] What, are you assuming I'd leave a fatboy without support? Why don't I just ctrl+k it if I'm being that stupid?

Especially considering if they ignore it it spells death, if they concentrate a land effort they've wasted an army, and if they attack it with massed air then I use it to thin their bombers out. As a dedicated UEF commander, I know [I]any[/I] situation can be solved by correct application of a Fat Boy, regardless of whether or not it survives.
