Changes in PA.

So? They're fragile as ****, it's not like you can't kill them.

Seeker, if you don't control the gas giant or know how to contest one, you lose the match. It's over. GG.

Jigs decide nearly every game with a gas giant. Hands down. It's like having infinite energy.

So? metal extractors decide every game with planets that have metal, I fail to see your point.
Also, energy is already nearly infinite, you can build energy anywhere.

the issue is that once you start jig economy you can basically forget about any other kind of economy and you will have more income than any player without jigs

until the enemy gets gud and decided to kill your jigs, which are much easier to kill than ground economy.

lolanchors vs equal metal value of avengers is easier than ground combat? You're basically playing a game of rock paper scissors where the anchors are rock and all you got is scissors

Sure you'll manage to cut the rock in half after throwing a ton of scissors in the garbage, but at that point the guy's built a ton more rocks and you're outta scissors

You can just spread them out. Problem solved. A spread and anchors solves that easily....

jigs go nuclear now, goodbye anchors.

As well as your orbital fighters...

they've gone nuclear forever, you still have to get to them in the first place, and your only options for doing that are dropping right on top and losing all your fighters to anchors before your 3 second orbital entry cooldown is done, or dropping somewhere else, moving your group of 30 avengers to the wall of anchors with jigs inside surrounded by more anchors, killing one anchor and losing all your avengers

Your only real option to fight the jigs is to send down your avengers to secure the half of the gas giant that your opponent isn't on and have your orbital fabbers build a ring of anchors around that half to stop the enemy from having more than 40% of the planet, then fill your half with jigs and more anchors, since you'll end up having more jigs in the end unless he crams his all right besides each other with barely any anchor defense, in which case you CAN snipe his jigs and take out all of them

Someone was listening to one of my orbital rants on TS last week XD

I actually just made all of that up because I hate dealing with anchors using only avengers, but maybe you were ranting so hard that you subliminally implanted the ideas into my mind despite me not being there

Yeah I know right, we need to get rid of amphibious scouts as well as nerf the game ender and promised gas giant that can be fixed by adding more dynamic orbital! Why in the world haven't we nerfed the unit cannon and its horrible way of forcing you to build a couple more umbrellas or just attack it?!?!

You can shoot nukes at jigs right?

I heard they removed that recently

Ehh I dunno, im probably going to leave PA for a while and just watch the patching from afar.

Until GW or the AI is majorly worked on, all of the changes are really just a puff of hot air to me.

Yeah, they did remove that. I tested it only a few days ago.

Really disappointing... We were working on an orbital anti-nuke too, and now it's pointless...

An expensive orbital anti nuke could help balance jigs (assuming you let nukes target jigs)

Could you perhaps modify the weapon target layers for the nuke?
