3 per techbase and 4 for a starbase? No? (It was an adv tac, an adv exp and a starbase)

10 was the high number. Let's face it, there's a reason, even with Bios, that you rarely run, and succeed even less often, on a tech base with less that 3 sbs. Maybe if you give the Bios SBS a sup and AB2/3 you'll be able to solo a tech, but with AB1 hvy cloak2, it will only take 1 defender to stop you easily. It's pretty iffy, even in the scenario I mentioned. Plus you'll run out of HC2 energy long b4 the Rix has run out of Sig3. And sorry to disappoint you, IB, but I'm no moron.

what's up with the obsession with soloing tech bases? late game the ability to solo staging ops/tps is much more relevant.

Well, we can disagree about the potency of the Bios SB vs the Rix. Oddly, people are ranking the Rix higher by a factor of almost 3. But the point is, I could respect your opinion without calling you a moron. But now, I'll just call you a dick.

Evin, assuming a Bios SB can get 4 off uneyed, and I'm willing to grant that, 4 AB1s, even with KB, won't kill many techbases, will they? A Giga un-advanced base, ok. If you are giving the Bios SB AB2/3 then your argument is looking better for the solo, but I'm not sure that is what we were talking about. Of course there is still the chance that you get off a 5, or 6, AB eyed. All I know is I have yet to solo a techbase in a bios SB. I don't think I've seen anyone else do it, either.

you mean, 4AB1, UNSTOPPABLE ab1s, that is (unless you have like 5 GS camping with -very- good pilots with wicked sick connections and the sb pilot is stupid and/or is actually soloing the base -which is not likely, since you can put bios sbs through every hole without much trouble - ). and what does it have to do with soloing techbases? i want to end the game, not have people sing songs about my solo exploits on alleg (by the way, it takes one fig/scout with quickfires to *completely* disable a rix SB, so i don't see how a bios sb shouldn't be better than a rix. basically you would need as many sbs as pilots defending the base to not stand a chance, and a couple bios should easily get it, provided the d is not exceptionally aware of the surroundings).

the only reason i personally put rix SBs over bios, is that you need 20 minutes to get em.

In a squad game, if you dick around with minor bases when SBs come up, you. lose..
