Balance concern - triple Dunov

from Stardock Forums
Having been on the receiving end of Paradoxnt's triple Dunov strategy I tried to test a variety of methods to counter it.

A group of 3 of these punches way above their fleet point useage, taking down roughly twice to three times their fp worth in capitals or frigates. The only downside when testing them more thoroughly with Para, was that they required a large amount of concentration in micromanaging the abilities and target switching.

We tested a variety of setups, including 3 Dunov vs 3 Sova, 3 Marza and a mix of capitals and frigates including using a single Dunov in support... the only time the Dunovs failed was when leaving them on autocast, if manually using the abilities they were unbeatable vs similar fp and damn hard to take down vs a zerg. Anti- antimatter abilities didn't seem to affect the outcome.

I'm of the opinion that although the Dunov is the weakest capital vs any other one on one, a group of them with their stats as they are now is overpowered. The antimatter of a Dunov is rather high in comparison to that of other capitals so perhaps a straight forward fix would be a wee nerf, if one is thought to be necessary.

Perhaps other players would like to test and comment?

This is what happens when you skim posts instead of actually reading. :)

I read the whole post, you were a complete ass to everyone without suggesting any viable alternatives.

I have to repeat my initial suggestions in every post? You're not suggesting any alternatives in most of your posts either, perhaps you should just give up now? Your tactical knowledge of the game is rather nice, but you're really not very good at this. It's absurdly petty anyway.

psychoak I gave up on you the instant it became apparent that you lack the understanding of the empirical structure of the tests. I'm just not going to bother teaching another stunted mind from these forums about how to truly find imbalance issues.
