Totally agreed. It just needs the ability to be stocked with skipray's and it'll be the most perfect balance.

« on: October 25, 2016, 06:05:40 PM »Thanks for the replies gentlemen. Quick question though, in FTGU for the PA, what capital ships do you utilize the most of? I've only played as the IR in that GC and know about the Sovereign strategy and the Viscount and BAC spam. How about the PA?

« on: October 24, 2016, 05:13:26 PM »Without any SSDs I might add to the end.Indeed welcome to the boards, but I would argue in 2.1 PA is pretty powerful. However once 2.2 comes out things will change drastically.
But welcome to the boards. I hope you will have a pleasant time here.
PA will no longer have lukerhaulks and We will have the warlords and New GCs

You are definitely correct, the PA is enormously powerful, provided you utilize their strengths (space: sniping damage sink + carriers, ground: LAAT, Floating Fortress, Hailfire). They do however, have relatively weak fighters, most of their frigates are weak in direct combat, and only have two SSDs. Lose one and you don't get to rebuild. Against late game NR spam you may start having trouble (depending on how well they're faring). The BAC/Viscount/Sacheen fleets are no joke. For some fun, do PA on From the Ground Up. Nothing says fun like fending off multiple Sovereign fleets.Without any SSDs I might add to the end.

(And try to play as them in FTGU to see how good you are ok.)And then go in to the XML files to give you The Executor and Vengeance to play with. (Or Eclipse and Sovereign) Like What Andrew Hester would do.
