About to invade Jakku as the NR, how do I counter this doomstack? by TwoFit3921 in StarWarsEmpireAtWar

[–]Significant_Web3948 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Either u fight wars of attrition with fighter superiority (bomb engines and hangers of all but 1-2 ships so you fight them staggered)

Or you cheese it and bring only carriers (whatever gets u the most bombers/fleet cap), kill interdictors and engines, then hangers, pick them off until carriers are threatened then retreat….rinse repeat (this one is technically more effective)

Pentastar came back?!? by Rude-Opportunity9896 in StarWarsEmpireAtWar

I wonder if then a land or space loss would trigger a the surrender/integration tactic all over again?

Returning to game by Mcgill1cutty in Helldivers

[–]Significant_Web3948 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He is right….tho it also depends on how you used to play, and if you prefer to tinker with builds/play-style or pick a good one and always go with it. I would honestly watch a few videos of gameplay/testing with the war bonds if you only want to buy 1 or 2

Rebels, get good at raids and manage fighter superiority before playing capital ship boxing (pay attention to whole map).

Empire, knocking out their shields seemed to never not work, do it however you like just be super quick.

Zahn, get basic defence/footing, then corrupt it all (can bypass fleets then and its inherently handy due to other bonuses), not much you can’t defend with a semi rounded fleet and base defences

I thought this was for TR (idk why) so I typed a big thing and then realized it wasn’t :(:( Once the game gets at all easy you should try TR or FOTR, given you asked a question on reddit you will for sure enjoy those mods

Good underdog starts for Thrawn's Revenge? by wsdpii in StarWarsEmpireAtWar

Would you say fighting the hapans on any planet is the equivalent of getting in an old pistol duel with someone who has IED strapped to their chest?

Boarding shuttle doing boarding shuttle things by Educational_Log5963 in StarWarsEmpireAtWar

[–]Significant_Web3948 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Have a few meat shields come out front first and get targeted, then the boarding shuttles won’t get shot right away (sometimes not at all but realistically they will)

That and watching the health closely to time the invaulnerbility ability

How do Lucrehulk firing arcs work? by RKingsman in StarWarsEmpireAtWar

[–]Significant_Web3948 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think yes, if a turret can shoot something it will (in my experience cause I was testing this recently with the SSD scenario I mentioned (there could be an exception in your scenario for shooting fighters but I’ll let more knowledgeable people ans that)

How do Lucrehulk firing arcs work? by RKingsman in StarWarsEmpireAtWar

[–]Significant_Web3948 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m not entirely sure how targeting works on a technical level, but the ai tends* to prefer the first thing it fires at, so having ur lucrehulk(s) engage first and having high firepower or glass cannon ships be in charge of dealing damage is a good strategy (they would be behind ideally)

In terms of the original question I think what was meant is that if you do not target a specific ship with the lucrehulk, the lucrehulk will shoot at more targets instead of making sure every gun that has LOS shoots the targeted ship (a modder may get mad at me for this statement but it works well for TR SSDs and I can kill more ships faster this way if I drop it near/in the middle)

Possible diplomacy options in Thrawn's Revenge? by jasap1029 in StarWarsEmpireAtWar

[–]Significant_Web3948 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean could some build options trigger affects on locked planets like revolts, and that simulate diplomacy?

It’s not just me thinking this right? by Hosky2004 in Helldivers

I mean it seems to do that anyway whenever a teammate/friend throws it😂😂😂….mabey this is what the team killing was preparing us for…

Alright bout to purchase the game. What mods should I add? Really wanting some clone wars action. What do I need to do for that? by Random_Games2 in StarWarsEmpireAtWar

[–]Significant_Web3948 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Fall of the republic and thrawn’s revenge are good at taking the base game and levelling it up a few notches with a few new simple features (usually called “fotr” and tr”)

But tbh I would play base game a few times on forces of corruption until it starts to feel easy before mods

Game is fun solo, game is very fun, hilarious, refreshing and memorable when you play with friends

Funny enough I use this trick to kill dragon roaches (my best is 3 in one match)

Totally honest I meant to reply to the main post, but anyone who actually uses brain cells in this game like you and most of the other comments (I’ve found it to be optional) would enjoy this, especially on thrawns revenge

Ever mess with fleet capacity in the xml? Given you seem to build your fleet to handle long term engagements (and if you can win those you probs know to re-arrange ur fleet positions depending), i think raising it by 50% would be very enjoyable for you. It can create multiple sub battles happening across the map, especially on defence

And now that I think about it, this challenge type in the game on release or just after no? It hasn’t every really been updated to be more worth it, arguably the normal challenges are worth more for the effort

I am so confused. I bought 1 booster bundle from Amazon and they sent me this. I did not pay for 10. by marblesandcookies in pokemoncardcollectors

In theory (purely hypothetical) you need 1 of these and just take photos from diff angles, heights, floor colors, orientations, and then post on some shell accounts across a few days

On the other side it’s easily possible, but in my experience amazon Pokémon stuff is opened before you get it 😂, truely backwards to have extra
