Zann Consortium-Overpowered?
Rend_and_Maim:
Okay, after playing a long as hell GC as the Consortium, I have concluded that they are undoubtedly unbalanced. I will list my reasons why here:
Heroes:Not only do they have Zan who can bribe his way through half your forces and mow down infantry with his rigged shotgun but they have Silri who can just keep re-summoning her rancor over and over again not to mention that Urai Fenn does enormous damage to just about everything(since when do metal blades slice through armour meant to deflect blasters?). They also possess the ability to sneak past fleets and go down to the planet directly, it's plenty easy to solo ground defences with those three heroes.
Infantry:This is most defiantly(at least in my opinion) where the Consortium is nearly unbeatable. Grenadiers are way too strong for a base unit and can probably kill most light and even some medium vehicles with relative ease. Merc assult squads are crap until you get them disrupters, when you get them disrupters they turn into probably one of the most overpowered units in the game. They can easily take down AT-AT's and T4-b's, have anti-air capabilities, and completely eradicate infantry and buildings without a scratch. If it were up to me, I would remove Merc assault squads entirely.
Tanks and light Vehicles:Is it just me, or do the 2 tanks the Consortium have seem to have almost no counters short of massed PLEX soldiers or Dark troopers(3)? Those pulse tanks can one shot light vehicles or at least nearly one shot them and Canderous Assult tanks are overpowered in just about every way possible, I won't even go into reason with them as they aren't balanced at all.
Space Fleets:The Consortium space fleets aren't terribly overpowered despite their Aggressor capitol ships. The Aggressor's super cannon has the cooldown of a typical laser battery can can wipe out a hardpoint in one shot.
Misc/other issues:The 'Corrupt Militia' and 'Bribery' I personally think are somewhat lame as well as their ability to bribe their way past your heavily defended planets and attack your nearly undefended planets tends to get irritating.
So, thoughts? Opinions? ???
Scarecrow63:
I completely agree. You can defend a planet in space only needing a space station and about 5 of those mass driver ships. It doesnt matter how many star destroyers they throw at you those things just gun them down.
Rend_and_Maim:
Yep, and don't forget if your about to destroy them, they can simply use invisibility and run away.
Scarecrow63:
Or just get in close and self-destruct
Delta 07:
