As I recall, if a ship has targetable hardpoints the total HP of the individual hardpoints supercedes the value in the unit entry.

I cant imagine that this is true. I remember the NR ship Sacheen. It always blows up before i destroyed all of its hardpoints... That would not be possible if the hardpoint healthpoints override the healthstats of the ship or?

First off, the stats I have for the MC80B put it at 10125 for total health, including shields. The MC90 has 10565. KEep in mind that the health values in the unit aren't what matters, it's the hardpoint values.

Also, your stats for firepower are based on salvo, not damage per second which is the more important stat. You could do 100,000 damage in one salvo but if it only happens once every ten minutes that still ends up being kind of negligible (salvos can only go through one target so the cap on effectiveness is basically just the remaining health of whatever's being attacked). Based on the stats we have recorded, the MC90 is 208 DPS against about 128 for the MC80B. Neither of which exceed even a Victory Star Destroyer, let alone an ISD.

Ah ok. So that might have been the issue i didnt recognize in my comparison, the hardpoints. So if i would want to compare them do i have to add the HP of each hardpoint to the HP of the hull?

As for the DPS you mentioned i did compare mainly the damage output of the same kind (4sec for all turbos ect - for missiles i count only 1/4 cause they have 16sec cooldown). But the main issue i wanted to ask here was the hull - price relation of this ship.

@Halycron: I didnt want to say this NR ship is overpowered. I only wanted to understand if i got something in my comparison wrong - because it seemed like the MC80b would be overpowered as i compared the stats
I never had the feeling that it was in fact that way during battles.

Never played as the NR by now. But checking the stats and infos about their ships i wonder if the M80 Liberty Cruiser isnt useless or the MC80b isnt overpowered?

The Liberty costs: 4000 - Hull + Shield 5670 HP
The 80b costs: 4500 - Hull + Shield 11.625 HP

Since the Weaponpower of the 80b is better to, i see completely no sense in building the liberty.
And if you compare the MC80 b with MC90 you can come to the conclusion that the M80b is even better than the MC90 seeing the costs:

MC90 : costs: 6800 - Hull + Shields 10.238 HP

You surely have to add in this comparision the weaponpower too:
MC90 - damage about 840 per round
MC80b - damage about 512 per round

In my opinion the MC80b seems to be completely overpowered seeing the costs for this ship. You could outnumber all capitalshipclasses of other factions with this ship (it has even more HP than ISDs).
Maybe here is any point i dont know/see about?

« on: September 09, 2013, 02:58:40 AM »

Did manage to finish my first FTGU (on Admiral) yesterday in week 74.

I started in the beginning to conquer or destroy as much planets as possible without breathing.
Took first Farrfin, Noqiuivizor, Borleais, Corulag, Champala, then i went north and stopped there at Garqui and Wristil. I did fortificate this planets on ground and went meanwhile further north in the other direction (New Alderaan) and then down to Kashyyk.
I had 21 Planets in Round 21 (including Bilibringi). Took them all with a fleet of 5 Vic I, 2 MTC, 3 Escort Carrier, 1 Vindicator, 1 Lancer. Until that point i did only lose one escort carrier at Bilibringi.
On ground i did use one AT-AT, 2-AT-ST and several infantry units from Wayland.

In round 21 i decided to spare for my first SSD (Sovereign). And started in fact in Round 25 to build it. On that point i had 3 more planets and first time i consolidated my positions.

But even in this time i didnt stop to attack the NR wherever i could to destroy as much as possible.
Meanwhile Garqui and Wristil were attacked daily by EOTH on Ground but there werent able to take them.
With the SSD ready the FTGU was won and i started to build up a heavy fleet and ground force to be able to autoresolve battles as often as possible to get faster to an end.
I autoresolved battles on ground with infantry only spammed on wayland for only 1 credit per unit. That way i didnt lose anything on autorsolved groundbattles.

Did finish of the NR in round 69.
Eoth on round 72
And the minor factions on round 74.

I prefered to build Vic I because they were able to fight fighters effectively with their missiles.
On major forces i did only hit and run tactics to prevent my fleet from losses.
I did never build any space station except on Capitalshipyards the whole game. Did defend my planets on ground only.

Okay. I managed to solve it ^^
I started the game and closed it immediately. This did generate an autosave. I loaded the autosave and now it seems like im able to save it. Had one time again the error but with reload i managed it again. Very curious.

Imperial Civil War Tech Support / Error in only special GCs "Failed to save Game. Check available disk space"

« on: September 08, 2013, 10:07:47 AM »

Hello,

i have the same error with one difference. It occurs only if i try to save "Final Imperial Push". I have no problem to save in any other GC except this one.
Does anybody know how to fix this?

Unfortunately i have the same error even in the GC "Essence of War". Strange thing is that it seemed to be the only GCs that did not work till now.
I tried to save Essence as EOTH - it did work, as IR / NR /PA it did not...
In Final Imperial Push - it didnt work with eoth

Update:
GC "Empires at War" Did not work too. (tried as IR)

Forgot to mention: It sometimes crashes completely if it ry to save the GCs above.


I already played without problems:
FTGU
Reunification
the first three history GCs (Isard, Thrawn, Palpetine)

It would be nice if somebody could help me with that?

Sorry, I didn't read all of your original post, yes it is only permanent for the specific planet you are at.

As to whether or not it should be bought, it depends...is the planet you are defending a hotly contested planet, or one that is key to your overall strategy? Then it would definitely be worth it. To me, any advantage I can gain over the enemy is a welcome one, so I always buy them

Sounds wise. I think i will keep that in mind in future land battles

They're permanent for that specific planet, but not all of them.

Ah okay thx. So i think its not wise to spend credits for it ...

Hello there,

im wondering, if the upgrades you can buy within landbattles within a GC would be permanent on all future land battles on all planets? Or are they only for the battle you buy them?
In my opionion it would be only wise to buy them if it would be a permanent upgrade for the GC?

Sup everyone .  I just wanted to ask the TR Community What their favorite/least favorite heroes. I am mostly doing this to benefit my maps, but I hope others can benefit from this as well .

My favourite is Palpatine - best for hit and run, if necessary plus a very high discount on construction of ships/buildings
least favourite by now: - all Fighterheroes - they simply die to fast

Try going to C:\Users\Name\Saved Games\Petroglyph\Empire At War - Forces of Corruption\Recordings and delete anything in there, also remove your most recent screenshots just in case, that's what worked for me.

I never took any screenshots or recordings. Therefore this file is empty.
