Help With Base Design
Yes, we can go ahead and get the normal insults out of the way and I'll pause a moment to let you do so................................. okay, better?
So! Bellow you'll see four battle log entries, a good and lots of bad. You may ask why I've posted this and why you may care. Well it's a QQ in a way but I also would like to draw attention to the disturbing issues a foot. (I think that's the expression, cba to look it up)
Now here we have the reason I'm posting this thread. This isn't about the players involved but the weapons used.
Now in exhibit B.. yeah, w/e. Here we have a typical attack with typical outcome. Good fleets again'st my base and everything is level 3 so it's natural they'd get it, I'm okay with that. You see, what this tells me is that once I get either Level 4 plats or weapons, the design will dominate.
And here is a victory to show you that my design is not 100% the problem, just lower tech in some aspects and OP fleets.
The fleet used was RA III, anti Mort, and the other spec I can think of is maybe engine. But regardless to this, when a base can't even get one ship down to 50%, something needs to change. I don't know what the change may be and I'm hoping this thread can insight some conversation about that..

Only players that Kix cares about are the coiners, want them to listen more of you gonna need to cut them off of your wallet.
this is the correct statement.

The guy has 4 VM's....and against an Anti fleet he's gonna get raped (evidence already provided). Besides that he has lined up his turrets 1 by 1 very nicely for the mortar fleets to creep along and smash him with only a few turrets actually firing at the incoming fleet.
Sorry dude, but your 'Smale' copy from the forum ain't gonna work anymore. Take a deep breath...yes, your life will continue. Start thinking about CONCENTRATION OF FIREPOWER. Start reverse engineering the attacks coming at you and understand what needs to be done to stop them. I'd give you more tips but honestly I don't think your at the stage where they would help. Your still at the 'this isn't fair' stage. Move past it. There are a dozen threads in the forum with great thoughts about stopping Anti fleets.
Good Luck and don't give up. The measure of a man is what he does AFTER he falls off the horse....not while he's riding.

I'm starting to see what you're saying. Their day's are over I guess, though it's almost pointless to put in flak and bombards unless their 4's.
I don't appreciate your input and honestly, you're an arrogant **** who can't read apparently. The game has been tilted to one side of the board again. If you had the intelligence to read before posting a solid two paragraphs of total bull **** you would see the point I'm trying to make. As of late, I find the game horribly mundane in that it's the same act over and over, therefor I haven't paid any attention to the ups and downs of any design. As for the design itself, several people within my clan have used it or variations of it and it's leveled level 40 fleets with particular ease and if you paid even closer attention, it can take a level 37 fleet down to **** near a quarter. SO! Your suggestions are obviously those of an inexperienced troll with no particular meaning in life. Stop Stereo typing and get off your "High horse".

My advice would be to remain in a permanent state of bubble and salvage like mad until you get your research and upgrades done and keep a low profile in the meantime.

"difference between insec hitting and not? u can see the **** people say when u destroy them"
i judge a player by himself, not by his affiliation
user id: 2298065 think im hacking caused you got destroyed? well try me
Your the clown getting farmed for almost free...not me! Your point is your base gets OWNED by anti fleets...and I agreed. You say yourself 'I haven't paid any attention to the ups and downs of any design.'...and so your getting destroyed by an anti fleet. Where is the shock in that??? Anti's came out almost a month ago...you ain't updated nothing. Plus there is no way that base be leveling fleets of lvl 40 with ease before anti's...that's a load of dung.
I've hit a ton of bases on the way to level 32 baby Or1g1n. You post garbage about your amazing base getting owned and someone bucks up and tells you why. Look at the other posts in yer thread. Any help there? You responded EXACTLY as expected from a guy that feels he's awesome and got owned so it's the clearly the game's fault. The exact reason I don't waste helping you. I've posted help for lots of people too. After it sinks in that you need to update and improve your base then you might get some help. Till then enjoy the glow of your amazing base and the righteousness of Kixeye ruining your life.

Add the extra land tile if u can, get DU 4 and play with re-arranging the turrets. If possible cover the turns with VMs. Are you attacked by HH that often? I am not and most FF fleets are spanked. I can even repel most HH fleets. I added DU4 walls and turrets on 4 and it makes a HUGE difference. Also adding Sent 4 and howie 4 will make another HUGE difference. It is worth the effort despite the mundane effort. Best of luck
I know the typical outcomes and what SHOULD happen. I'm saying that the game mechanics are off when a ship doesn't drop past 50% with a half way decent design.. You still haven't learned to read?

If i was in your shoes, I would move the labs to the outside, Drop your RG's to one of each (Help force the 25% DP). Redesign the defence into a more concentrated configuration. The entrance is good since it has a couple of turns and will slow players down. I would personally keep the vics since they work better in a concentrated tower configuration (Anti mortars arent nearly as good as people keep claiming them to be). I would work on researching Howie 4's and DU 4.
Sadly there isnt much more you can do until you unlock the lv 4 gear to stop FF's & HH's owing your base, But if you can inflict maxium damage, then you have a good base desgin.
You can please some people most of the time, and you can please most people some of the time, but you will never, ever be able to keep those bitchy little whiners who inhabit yours forums from having a cry about every single thing you ever do (or don't do).

Just came into the thread. Or1g1n I read most of the posts, and sounds like you're getting some good comments. I have a design kind of similar to yours but with my turrets more in smaller area and higher concentration of fire.
You're level 27, I'd start now getting where you can research DU4 (If you haven't already) and then upgrade at least 5 of your platforms to level 4 armor. And when you can (ASAP) pick one weapon to research Level 4 and start upgrading turrets to level 4 of whatever you select. Eventually get all your platforms to Level 4. It will also make your defenses more rocket resistant.
And Level 3 Bombards and Flaks are very good. But the design you have, the Bombards will not cover many platforms so I'd advise at most one bombard at intersection.

To the OP: You have been spoiled and treated with kid gloves. There will be players coming to your area with the ability to crush that base and crush bases much better than that. You just went from being the baddest lvl3 to the weakest lvl4. You are now a freshman again and the wedgys and swirllies that you gave out last yr well..... you are now asking if you may have another.

So Very true. I have found if you are constantly going out and base hitting players alot most people will just leave you alone.
You can please some people most of the time, and you can please most people some of the time, but you will never, ever be able to keep those bitchy little whiners who inhabit yours forums from having a cry about every single thing you ever do (or don't do).
