No, he's right, if you stay still your missiles occasionally stop firing.

If any other suitable targets are nearby, they will go for one of those instead. This can be used when on the run, by moving closer to your enemy. By the way, does anyone know how the increased firing speeds work? Since day one I've been seeing people who randomly get increased firing speed, most of the time everyone has them. My own guess is that they're related to fighter kills and works like veterancy. | ||

Here are two of probably the closest thing to pro replays of star battle atm (NA): game 1: http://www.sendspace.com/file/jxb4ow game 2: http://www.sendspace.com/file/7sak37 I'm the light green player in the first one and purple in the second one These were both very good games of star battle and had a bit of that back and forth, which we love so much. We met in a random pub lobby thing in the first game by chance and in the second game, we ended up getting groups together and letting pubbers fill the empty spaces. It was basically a 3v4 in game 1 and then a 4v4 in game 2. hope you enjoy~ | ||

I will be playing at work, so sometimes I will have to AFK during daytime Eastern time zone hours. I play very seriously when this doesn't happen, though. It is winter and I sell recreational vehicles so my afk miles will vary. Add Ben.725 | ||

Join #starbattle on irc.quakenet.org (don't be disappointed though - I just created the channel, so there's almost nobody there... but I think that if anyone wants to find a person to play with, it would be better to do that on the IRC rather than spam this thread with LFG requests) | ||

I don't know why, but it is becoming a trend: I join a game lobby and at least 1 person is "pending," then once you enter the game it tells you that 2/3 people have been dropped right off the bat, then, after all that, in the middle of the game, of the remaining 10 or so players, 1 or 2 get lagged like crazy and drop mid game. If you are lucky you get a 4v4, but it always turns out to be like 3v4, 2v5, or even 1v6. It makes the game no fun. Now, I'm not blaming this on you, but I just want to let you know that this is a common trend taking place in your game, not a one time event, it is a trend . I'd hate for your awesome game to fall victim to lag bug like it currently does--permanently--so if you could please do a bug fix patch or something I'd totally love the game even more (if that is even possible). Just for your reference, I'm on NA servers and the events I describe started to trend around 2:00 AM EST, 12/2/2010 (yeah I know, but I love this game). Just noticed this post today, and i agree! Every single game that I joined had at least one person drop. Every game. Did this happen to anyone else? | ||

Lately I've been going Engine x3 1 each of lasers, missiles, range. Go farming, then get warp and another speed upgrade, then pump into lasers, missiles, and range if they have a lot of feedback. | ||

Also, I have been testing with a mass armor build with the Battlecruiser, and relying on pure defense with PDD. It's been working decently against people who use a lot of normal attacks, but focused spell damage will always be a problem. | ||

You need good teamwork because this build is fragile early game since you have zero offensive spells, but your farm will accelerate much faster than any other build. In DotA/HoN terms, this is basically a carry build. Also, I have been testing with a mass armor build with the Battlecruiser, and relying on pure defense with PDD. It's been working decently against people who use a lot of normal attacks, but focused spell damage will always be a problem. My farming build barely beats yours, take the aoe spell depending on your race, take 2 engines and one energy upgrade. As soon as any of the enemies start to stream out fighters OR when your team makes a little push to their science vessels, one use of your AOE will wipe out 10-15 creeps easily. You may also use all the aoe spells to "deny" an enemy from killing creeps, as in the situation of a massive number of allied interceptors/mutalisks/wraiths following a fleeing enemy - kill those and your enemy will not benefit from them. I also envision an entire team taking these spells to start and stagger killing their own creeps with it at the very start of the game to make the enemy team fight on your side closer to your science vessels. | ||

I pumped range and gauss damage, then my team did a siege push on their defenses. Worked pretty well. | ||
