Quoting MayallCommunion, reply 28
Quoting Timmaigh, reply 27I wonder what caused this "shift" to the next week (in case it was not planned this way all along). I tried both Vasari factions with current version and both felt quite ready. Perhaps there is still hope they are reconsidering the idea of letting the Vorastra stripping the planets
To be honest it was a good idea, but its just to hard to balance something like that.
Stripped to the core is still in the game. It's just not on the Vorastra is all. In fact it's infinitely easier to do than relying on a ship and most likely will be improbable to counter given the time it usually takes to bomb a planet.
Yeah, i know. i tried it myself. And its true its easier to do this way, than rely on the titan doing it. But its definitely far less cooler. I reckon this is, how they want it, to let you scuttle all your planets fast, so you have money on research and more ships. I would make it levelable titans ability, able to target only neutral planets - so you would have to abandon your and bomb enemy worlds in order to use it.
At least i can spawn phase stabilisers, teleport and eat enemy ships with it... hope these abilities stay intact and wont be somehow nerfed.
