How stop vasary loyalist titan/starbase combo ?

from Sins Forums

in a recent game I had to face this problem, first I was attacked VL  titan and a small fleet of support ships + carriers with bombers, my light fregat (LF) and corvet fleet and drone support.  also planet defense  can handle this. but after he begin build his base, bomber atack be uneffective, suport ships restore sb HP very fast, at the end this titan/sb combo killed all my forces. i will try atack base with my LF but titan fastly kill them. sb help him kill my corvets swarm. after this all can do my drone host is just run.   So can anyone say how conter this tactic.

Words of wisdom from great AI player:


Step 1:  Build 2 military labs

Step 2:  Research flak

Step 3:  Build as much flak as possible

Step 4:  Build more flak

Step 5:  If your opponent is building flak, then build more flak...otherwise, build more flak...

good trying trolling :grin: , but, after that waste money on all this flacks, all can you do is look, how they die under titan aoe fire. and of couse they cant stop starbase, because they not do anti-strutsture dmg.  

but troll more my wisdom troll  :pig:

I actually agree with Stilat here. Flak may not be the best counter against starbases, but its high health and wide firing arc means it can run circles around enemy titans and tank any aoe abilities.

To actually answer the question, corvettes counter VL titan, but will be decimated by the SB.  Therefore, your next action depends on your faction.  Probably the most complicated solution is if you're advent, you could build a fleet of Iconus Guardians with Repulsion to separate the SB and the titan from one another (with a Radiance to drain the titan's antimatter so it can micro-jump), focusing your corvettes on the titan and your Subjugators/bombers (preferably bombers) on the SB.  

The easier solution would be just to build a bomber fleet, and I mean a massive bomber fleet with corvettes as protectors.  Keep the carriers on the far side of the gravity well away from the SB.  As long as you have about 100+ vetts and equal number of fighters/bombers, you should be good.  Build a few scouts too, as your opponent will inevitably mine his side of the gravity well (if you're AL, you don't have to worry about it because you can just mind-control his mines).  

For TEC, same relative strategy, but would highly consider building an SB with Red Button to block off a good chunk of the gravity well while simultaneously promising the chance of massive damage.  Just do not detonate with your fleet in range of it.  Of course surround the planet with phase jump inhibitors (if you control it) to prevent your opponent from escaping.

For Vas, well, do exactly what he's doing, just do it better and faster...
