There are many things that beat a larger fleet than you. A tight fleet composition with superior positioning skills backed up by competent bombers. A BS fleet with carrier reps. Tier 3s sometimes can, but sometimes lose 87 strat cruisers in a single battle against hurricanes.
Dealing with a large fleet is the on-going problem. However, what is impossible is a ship that is 1. in an unkillable ship with enough carriers repping him 2. and able to kill anyone. The proposed nerf only slows down the second point. I have no doubt that Titans will be able to kill HICs, but maybe not dictors. And at least dictors will always be able to bubble unsupported titans.
So maybe don't engage with inferior forces and you won't lose all your ships. With time dilation, you can generally reinforce your fleets constantly as well. |

No way. Ev0ke are way better than PL. Ev0ek shows up and fights in subcaps on a regular basis, and do very well. They are a very honoUrable enemy for us to fight. I have enjoyed many of our ev0ke fights. And when ev0ke doesn't have the numbers, they get allies and friends and get stuff done.
I respect the hell out of ev0ke, and have definitely improved Goons combat abilities by constantly giving us fights. |

The critical change here is simple: Titans cannot kill normal interdictors as easily. These interdictors now have plenty of time to warp in, burn, drop bubble, burn out, and cloak/warp. Before, they would get targeted on the burn in, and die on the burn out if they did manage to bubble.
There is a simple solution to this, a support fleet. Field a support fleet to deal with the dictors, your titans deal with the hictors still, and everything is fine. But to have 30 dudes in titans to do everything under the sun just by themselves is a game without balance. Tier 3's can easily deal with dictors (assuming they don't get hit by a bomb or two), or sniper hacs if you're bad at being aligned. |

Andski is doing some pro posting in here.
In the end, balance was required. People couldn't help themselves. Dictors will at least have a chance at being able to hold down groups of solo titans. Should be interesting times. |
