I've also noticed that on some maps (like Gravan VII) the defending side spawns in, or at least right in front of an asteroid field, so it's very hard to move your ships around without getting damaged or split up.

Defense fleets often array themselves in idiotic formations, but that's the base games fault

Is it just me, or does the Pentastar AI almost never build Halfire Droids?

Lord Xizer · « **Reply #183 on:** August 23, 2013, 09:06:48 PM »

perhaps it resents droids out of jealousy?

Could be. Three things I have never seen made: the Hailfire, the IDT, and the T-3B.

I see T-3B's all the time on the AI.

Huh. I have never seen any...oh well.

Because if the PA did build them, they'd be unbeatable, most of their ground assaults go this way:

1. Send in infantry, get wiped out.
2. Send in Larties, get wiped out.
3. ??
4. PROFIT!

Now being invaded by the NR, that is brutal.

...In fact, the PA don't seem to build a lot of units, ISDs, Munificents, Enforcers, Vindicators, etc.

Yeah, if I want to take out some NR ground assault fleets I do my best never to engage them on the ground. I will have my fleet sitting one planet away from a nice juicy target, let the Rebels take the space, then move my fleet in before their ground troops arrive. Viola! A free shooting gallery.

Indeed, vulturing is a legitimate tactic

One other thing, how come the enemy can build buildings on the ground while I have a fleet in orbit, but I can't vice versa? It just gets to 99% and then stops.

It's just an annoying ass glitch as far as I know.

Not a glitch, it's technically "intentional" AI behaviour in that the AI is constantly given free stuff in any RTS.

Lord Xizer · « **Reply #193 on:** August 25, 2013, 05:16:39 AM »

It's the only real way to make them threatening

I can't remember if this has been covered before, but what does the 2-Ms Beam Cannon look like, and when does it fire?

I don't think they have one, but TX-130s do.

Yeah, but it says they do in the manual, so I'm not sure if the manual is wrong or the tanks have a firing problem.

Lord Xizer · « **Reply #197 on:** August 28, 2013, 10:24:23 PM »

I just don't think it was ever added in

Corey · « **Reply #198 on:** August 30, 2013, 01:08:47 PM »

Beam cannon doesn't necessarily mean the solid particle beam cannon tpye thing a LAAT/TX-130/XR-85 has, which the 2-M isn't supposed to have. I think it was just a poor choice of words.

Lord Xizer · « **Reply #199 on:** August 30, 2013, 04:35:14 PM »

And there you have it
