Best Empire

Lonehunter · 2003-07-25, 05:09 PM

After the recent patches, what do you think is the best Empire to be in right now? Think about all the weapons AND vehicles. I personally will remain a patriot and go with the Terran Republic. Don't just say, "The Lasher rapes all, the Vanu are the Zerg" Think about overall stats.

Well, I must say "The Lasher rapes all, the Vanu are the Zerg" . But if I wasn't being prejudice, I would say the New Conglomerate is, beause they have the Guass, and Jackhammer, which I like very much.

I don't know since I'm not yet in the game (Waiting till I get a faster comp./connection) but I would still say Vanu. Ever since I first read about the game I've wanted to play as VS. Just the whole idea of superior technology has been a important factor. But now from what I hear about the lasher and Magrider it seems that the technology has actually been made to be better than simply a machine gun and tank. Although I wont be using the lasher it gives all of my non-the-brighter compatriotes a decent handicap to use angainst the more tactics based Terrans and the more potent weaponry of the Conglomerate. So even though the TR and NC have things going for them, I belive that currently the Vanu Soverneighty is the best empire to choose from.

Tough question to answer as each empire has advantages over one another in certain areas. right now, i would have to say i like the van00bs. I been TR since day one. Pounder most of the time. Those van00b ,axs rip me up most of the time. So i started a new character on konreid and tried out that max. I immedialty laid waste to 3 pounders and several infantry upon an instant action selection. If you know how to use a max effectivly..this is the best one to use in my opinion. The lasher pwns all next to the jackhammer. I find TR lacking that super butt kicking ease of use weapon that just simple dominates no matter what. Although, after the MCG's cof was decreased it has been quite effective to use. so thats just my .02 woth.

Powerwise NC is the still the best empire. JH (still rocks), Sparrow Max, Vanguard, enforcer.. Just cant ask for more. Coolwise, gotta go with Vanu on that one. Magrider/thresher floating and the energy based weapons as well as the kickass looking MAXs and armor

VS and superior technology are 3 words that should never be put together in the same sentence. Proof : Beamer

Overall effectiveness i would have to vote NC, the pheonix is impossible to escape, while the Deci can fill in up close, the Sparrow absolutely rapes aircraft, the JH is still a damn good weapon, the Gauss is almost as good as the Cycler and the Vanguard and Enforcer are the best in their respective classes.

As far as sheer coolness goes i would have to Vote for my beloved Republic though. I just love the way reinforced looks, they also win the story catagory.
