What do we know about the Advent & Vasari?

What do we know about the Advent & Vasari?

Okey, im gonna collect all our knowledge about the 2 races here.

So if some of you remember something, or i am wrong, ill edit the post

NOTE: some of the info might be outdated, when we get to see them in action
But lets see what we remember or know from some of the interviews
Any ideas for this thread, is most welcome






¤ Telekinetic - Used by a Carrier, it has is a number of different telekinetic operators, or abilities. One of its key abilities, to defend fighters and bombers and other stuff, is a
telekinetic push. When it activates this [ability], everything within a certain radius is literally thrown away from the ship and basically stranded out in space for a bit until they can regain their bearings. There are a number of different uses for that [the telekinetic push], depending on what you're trying to accomplish. Info link
¤ Psychic Aura - Is used onto the planet, and it causes everyone on the planet to riot and kill each other, destroy structures Info link
¤ Mind Control - Used to control enemy ships for short period of time. Cannot be used on Capital ships Info link

Known Facts:
¤ Weak hulls, Strong Shields






¤ Phase gates - Used by a ship called the Marauder. This ship has its own portable phase gate, so you can jump it into a target area, activate the portable phase gate, and bring in all the other ships, bypassing any potential bottlenecks, defenses and whatnot. Info link
¤ Mobile City's - Used to harvest a planets resources from space, and for population Info link
¤ Alter Phase Signature - Used by the JiTirska Scout ship. Sends false phase jump signatures to a target planet to mislead hostile players into believing that your capital ships are en route. Can alternatively be used on friendly capital ships to mask their phase jump signature, preventing them from being detected in transit by sensors at the destination planet. Info link

Known Facts:
¤ They dont use alot of ships, but they are very strong

i think they have weak hulls and strong shields but not as strong as vasari shields and vasari should have better shield mitigation thing cos thier shields would be like adaptive shields which can become emune to enemy fire cos they r just cool

I only put in known facts, not some speculation

a question for you
Why dont you just edit your previous post, instead of multi posting?
I dont mind a post "bump" but not so soon after each post

dont know lol it just didnt come into my mind

so are the vasari evil cos in thier story they didnt sound too evil exept that if they faced opostion when taking over some where they wipe umm all out? also i think that vasari should have a way of taking a planet but keeping it un scared like a ship which placed in orbit will slowly take it over like an orbital goverment place like it says in thier story. Also if they want to just kill a planet and dont have any of those city ships that suck everything up they should have a bomb which uses nano bots to take all the infulstructure apart. Also thier ships shoudl have super hp and repaire rates cos of nano bots and advanced materials to make hull out of and ooober armour. ps i changed my post lol

I dont think the Vasari is Evil per say.
I think they just do what they think is best for them selfs. They dont got time for chitchat, and they are in a hurry to collect as much resources as possible before running again.
They feel annoyed about other races getting in there way, and see them as lessor beings. Somewhat like we do about flys

Thats what i think

ps i changed my post lol

Nice keep it going

Yes i think that is correct if i was emperor i my civilisation had been exiled id do anything to keep my race going.

I very much doubt Slingshot is still in, or that it was an Advent ability to begin with.
Slingshot in a space context means using a planets gravity to accelerate yourself when you pass it. Everyone can do it. (Hell, we already do with our probes)

"sling shot" was a technique described for any fleet, not just advent. while it would be a useful technique the max speed (and the waypoint issues) stop that from being a useful element.

This was disabled due to the max speed addition and we are looking at other ways to incorporate this idea but its not high priority.

Just said that blair

but its good to know you guys are trying to do that, my suggestion to simulate it would be to increase the max speed as you get closer into the gravity well. its not exactly realistic, but no one will notice.

lol agreed

Is it me or Vasari sounds overpowered. that phase gate thing and stealth. If you dont know where they will come from that means you are at very serious disadvantage.
Reply #44 Top
Of what i can guess, the Vasari dont use alot of ships. They are more of a hit and run race. More into stealth i believe
Reply #45 Top
well, with all the hit-and-run the pirates do that doesnt sound too good.
Reply #46 Top
The pirates will be tweaked in the upcomming patch.

I like some variety in the races, if all the races played the same, it would be abit boring IMO heh

Hmm...who is this Jack, is he related to the fourth tech tree?

Same here, as long as no one race has superiority over the others.

I remember reading somewhere that the Advent could conquer a planet without firing a single shot (by using their [zombie voice] braaaaaaains [/zombie voice]), again no link sorry.
