Well as I said increasing the fleet supply could help with the lag issue(Yes I saw your thread:P)

But moving on what I mean is I have seen players verbally cursing out other players for massing Corvettes calling it a "cheap noob strategy". I really don't think its that bad aha.

I also watched the 5v5 replay with Auqia and all the other high tier players all I saw was them mindlessly sending their capital ships in to fight the corvettes and I even saw some LRF's thats not a balance problem its an adapting problem.

I just think instead of adjusting them directly(Which many games has proven to be very bad). It is better to just open more options to counter them. I do agree something needs to be done, but they are severely squishy(a small number of flak can take out a large number of corvettes).  And I think people would like to have more options then just nerfing a unit.

Its a matter of opinion I suppose.

Corvettes have their counters, despite being so spammable.

1. Mines. Oh god do mines rape corvettes. Use em, advent can even bring them into battle. Hint: dont place them near the corvettes, send them to somewhere in the well and run your ship to the mines.

2. Meteor storm. Nuff said about this. Lesser counter is red button, but thats iffy.

3. Flak is a counter, but seems ineffective before the corvette swarm does major damage. Its the same as using flak to kill bombers, they work eventually, after your fleet is devastated.

4. Titan aoe abilities. Advent loyalist are kinda screwed here, but that aura on the titan should help nicely.

A high tier Starbase ability is not really a counter to units that you can spam 30 seconds into the game. By time you're building meteor storm Starbases you've probably got other means to deal with the Corvettes too.

It's earlier on when there's simply nothing nearly as effective for the cost that they're the biggest problem.

Might be a good reason to pick up a Discordia with Psychic Scream though, since it's the earliest AoE attack that Advent can get.

^ This.

That is also why I suggest giving flak or some form of special damage to the starbase, because I was in a suicide position and I got spammed by corvettes, its impossible to defend against corvettes in a 2v1 situation right now unless you are TEC.

Not really you will still have swarms of them, and they will still impose the "dont build LRF's" zome. Nothing will really change. The whole point of Corvettes is that it counters the current LRF spam meta. But because they are so massable they counter everything else to.

Things are different, if you double the fleet supply of the Destra it will be useless, but you cannot say just because X is true Y must be true for the same reason. I've been in the balancing buisness for along time i've made custom RTS games on WC3 and SC2. And for the record, if you look at the zergling they are bad in small numbers and are shit units. but in outrageous swarms they become a monster force to deal with. While its not the same thing, there is such a thing as strength in numbers. The more Corvettes you have will times their dps(on focus fire) by 2 every time.

Now if that doesn't convince you, you should know better because playing against the advent its all about massing 'shit' units to make them even better, the illuminator and defense vessel by themselves do not do a lot of damage but in swarms destroy everything.

Their numbers is the problem, regardless of if you want to see it or not. Right now with no supply upgrades you. I've done the numbers, right now you can build 23 corvettes with no supply upgrades(assuming you got a capital ship). The next upgrade you may get 75 corvettes from the next tier. If you nerf these by a half you still get a good number of corvettes, and no matter what they will do their job of countering LRF's. Eitherway this is just theory crafting we don't know 100% unless its done.

That is incorrect actually, having alot of destras only improves focus fire, yes it is improved but its not the same thing. Because of the AoE damage that stacks from Corvettes/Illums/Defense Vessels.

My point is it really will not make a difference corvettes will still counter LRF's like they should. Im not going to repeat myself. Its only weakness is flak and that is just how it is, people will still make corvettes because of its damage type and resistance to LF and LRF's early game.

tl;dr: Corvettes are zerglings.

They do not counter flak, or heavy cruisers, or titans. Im not sure what you are talking about. They are only good earlygame. You will see them late game because their debuffs are a good compliment to an army. Corvettes primarily counter light units because of their damage type. They kill everything else very slowly and in an army of heavies and flak they will not scratch them.

Will you fucking stop. You know very well what I mean. I have a limit to the amount of annoyance I can take and you are pushing it.

The first one I worded myself poorly. To the second set, they are only good early game and they can be massed early game. 

Not really. I've made it clear before that people intentionally badgering(I hate that word) me gets on my nerves. 

And @ that video:

I don't know riddle king I've found even a small amount of defense vessels can counter alot of corvettes, thats just in my experience. When playing online I've found that this strange that players with alot of flak will run away from 100 corvettes instead of just fighting them. 40 flak easily can take out 100 corvettes.

I normally admit my mistakes but im fairly certain there is no mistake here as I do not have a problem with Corvettes. Not anymore. In my opinion 20 flak should easily beat 50 corvettes, but we would need to test this in game.
