Repossession pirate base

April 14, 2012 2:34:05 PM from Sins of a Solar Empire ForumsSins of a Solar Empire Forums

Coronata (Repossession) vs pirate base. Instant destruction of the pirates? When playing against the rebels TEC - a dangerous weapon.

He means that when you use it it will instantly knock the pirates out of the game. It depends on the number of pirate bases.

And like a captured pirate base. But they were inactive. In any case, it is easy to take this skill. And before that it was difficult. Previously, the base could only make guns from a distance.

lol, when I play as TEC Rebel, I don't think I ever make alliance with pirates. I use pirates to feed my Titan to lvl.

If you want to kill pirates, you can also 1shot them with a Novalith.

Just saying because atm Advent Rebels are the only race that doesn't have the ability to get rid of pirates easily .

The pirate base has 6000 HP. How do you oneshot them with a weapon that does 3500 damage?

You sure about that? I had a Cruel AI killing it with a nova quite early in the game, maybe the hp increases over game time?

Well when your corona is at level 6 it won't have too many problems taking it out in the first place. So I don't see the problem.

Your cruel AI shot the base with tree or four Novas at once, of course that will bust the pirate base. The pirate base is a regular dead asteroid with some boni, one of them are the 6000 HP without having to upgrade. Amongst other stuff I made a thread some time back about how the pirate base needs a planetary shield to better withstand this kind of spam, especially since AIs tend to focus-fire on pirate bases, for whatever reason.

Maybe I missed to watch a hit then, well still 2 shot.

Pirates need some countermeasure against farming titans soon... they aren't really threatening any more, most people seem to be happy to have their titan fed...

Have they ever been threatening in a standard game of Sins?

If you are playing on 'normal' and that is a challenge the answer is yes. Once you are able to take on and play with Hard+ AI the pirates become less of a challenge.

Early in Trinity when the #1 thread was something like "$%*#@(@( Pirates!!"? Those guys were pretty nasty.

Otherwise not so much. They're really silly with Titans having permanent XP, at this point there's times when I'd actively put bounty on myself if I could just to deny the XP to anyone else.

I remember times when their raiders would come back to the pirate base on a regular basis and my whole fleet would jump into their well (filled to the brim with ships) and only one or two caps would get back out alive, with most of the pirates being unscratched.
