Hi Pauly, like I said I could be wrong but I get the sneaking suspicion that because EA are a very popular fleet and are attractive for a variety of reasons that at least in the short term a lot of things might be alleviated if EA's tendencies and qirks were examined. I have personally played...

Thanks, good going with the battle against your brother, Narn are evil against brakiri unless you take mostly Kalivas and even then its tough. I played brakiri versus my Narn loving brother in raid and I got absolutely pulversized. My big guns were barely denting him. I don't see how people...

I think you guys echo a lot of things I believe. Although I am loathe to change things at the drop of a hat by talking like this perhaps we can find the solution. My fear is changing one thing will implications as was said in some other subjects by changing several things at one time it could...

Agree on most but I don't agree with making the laser ranges more its good enough that it would be made the same range as the regular pulse. They are lasers but need not necessarily be similar to range and power as medium lasers. I think there would be balance questions on this. If you must...

This part of tactics and what you have to consider. You do realize than by jumping he is also making a gamble that you won't hurt his ships badly without the firepower of the tigaras. If you move right you maybe be able as Lavulin mentioned to shoot then move in and blast them you'll still have...

I agreed with this although I have said in the past oracle as they are have a role to play as a scout choice there is more of choice and need at skirmish. A reduction in firepower is defeinitely amicable to this. Its nice to have a well armed scout but not at the expense of its primary role and...

I think some are listening there probably is some debate on the problem itself as well. We all know that EA has the biggest porblem but fixing I agree is complex. I do hope Mongoose does reassure you they have responsive on most of my questions, however I do have to agree that being cautious in...

warbirds are awesome, hull 6 really sucks. They are tough as nails. You need to get loucky on the rolls a bit but it really helps. A squadron of solarhawks with warbirds definitely scary.

Not really there is a player in my area who its a very uncommon when he loses. He was beating people with a narn fleet consistently in old b5wars. He's the most experinced player here so no wonder. I am just pointing out that some guys are just plain good and lucky a tthe same time.

Thats an interesting point and I think that would be preferable yeah morshins are nasty but its an incentive for both the minbari player and opponent ot change and use different tactics there is only so much mileage you get out of a long range beam killing fleet if the enemy closes within 10...

I think though it says that as soon as the breaching pods come into contact they are active. Does this mean they can be still shot at? The way I read it is as soon they touch the ships it is initated but not necessarily resolved like dogfight. It would be good if we can get some clarification on...

Idon't see it working a lot against sharlins (too many troops) or even tinashis but raid level like has been discussed may have some advantages. If he's taking teshlans and ashintas he may not afford to waste shots on breaching pods. I think its risky but i am wondering how often it could pay...

Yeah i've found surviving the first or seocnd turn is the big problem. if you can survive that whithout being maimed then you have a reasonable chance. I find it odd that so many fighters failed to strike. Minbari are pretty fragile and while I would use them more against lighter ships I thing...

Its something I'd at least like to try. I think for centauri it makes sense since they are unless purposeful built that way not a fighter heavy race. They don't have a lot of troops. it might be something more for Narn or Drazi than earthforce. I think the only way it will work really well is...

Agreed I am finding that too. Hull6 makes a tremendous difference on Nls. You really don't want them getting on a roll. I've seen 2 AD do 6 hits or more off hull 4. With hull6 and hull5 the difference is quite large, the more hits you let them have the more criticals (I've gotten 4 crits out of...
