i meant with a human commander
As embarrassing it is to say, I have lost a vengeance, and Sovereign against the AI ( with proper support fleets). Trust me Ion cannon, 200+ stack of units, plus raid fleet will negate a good fleet

i don't care. with a proper fleet supporting it, an executor is unstoppable
I can guarantee that is not true... I mean have you seen Return of the Jedi? Plus if you have incompetent Admiral you might as well prepare to lose.

I rather have a ton of regular ISDIIs than two or three SSDs. While I like the idea of having a SSD as a command and control ship, its a terrible battleship. Yeah it can produce a lot of firepower, but at the end of the day 40,000 credits can be better spent getting however many ISDs instead of one SSD

nope, no matter what build limits you set, the AI only shows a subtle middle finger at it and does it's own thing.
You must love the fleets with 5-6 Viscounts for NR and 5-6 Executors and/or Sovereigns in them :)

while this is true, right now you get the Praetor in endless amounts like you said, and with 2.2, you get the amazing Bellator in your ranks, plus secutor, Gladiator, and possibly Procursator(i would rather have that for PA then VSD II)

however, are there no SSD build limits in FTGU? because otherwise the NR only gets 3, 1 at a time

PA is the most fun in From the Ground Up. You have to survive the endless torrents of SSDs from the NR and IR and the massive fleets of the EotH without SSDs on your side.

If you enjoy playing as the Remnant, try playing as the Pentastar Alignment, you won't regret it, I promise. Tactics-wise it's almost exactly the same, but it provides you with a slightly different variety of units, and the SSDs are still there.

I am an ex NR only player and just spent some time with the PA.  Honestly the IR is far more fun to play.

The PA is OP in space with two free SSD's and unlimited Praetors which are a tougher foe than SSD's in my opinion. 

The PA is OP on ground with Hailfires and LAAT's.

The biggest reason I am not a PA fan is their frigate lineup.  The Enforcer and Munificent do not make up for the loss of the Strike Cruiser and Carrack.

My name is Gabe, and I've been absolutely in love with this mod for over a year now. I thought with the looming release of 2.2 I would I finally get involved with the forum. As a introductory question I must ask New Republic players how they counter Super Star Destroyers? I almost exclusively play the Remnant and even then I try to make it a two SSD to one fight.

If you enjoy playing as the Remnant, try playing as the Pentastar Alignment, you won't regret it, I promise. Tactics-wise it's almost exactly the same, but it provides you with a slightly different variety of units, and the SSDs are still there.
