I need some advice fellow Sins of a Solar Empire players, because I am getting pwned.
Me and a friend of mine often play a head to head deathmatch in SoaSE, and for some reason I can't defeat his fleet.
I always play as the Vasari, and he always plays as the Advent.
Everything goes good, we let each other build up for a while, before one of us attacks. I try to make a fairly balanced fleet, headed by a Desolator and backed up by the regular battleships and maybe a carrier or two, depending on how much time I have spent building up, with a support fleet of lots of frigates and cruisers. Overall, what I would think to be a well balanced fleet.
His fleets often consist of several battleships and maybe a carrier or two, plus a TON of Illuminators.
As I am sure you know, the Advent are kinda the "Zerg" of SoaSE, relying on numbers over firepower (or so I believe) but I have found that in similar numbered fleets, the Advent always overwhelm my better equipped Vasari. Especially if there are a few more of the Advent.
You guys have any suggestions on how to counter this fleet makeup he uses? Or am I going to have to try the SoaSE forums? (which I'm not a member of ATM)
Also, this is the original game, without Entrenchment.
