High-level Capital Ships Kick Butt

Published on April 6, 2008 By SplitPeaSoup In Sins of a Solar Empire

When I was playing the other day, I noticed that as capital ships level, not only do they gain more hp and shield points but also they gain more regeneration of the two. A single level 7 capital ship can live a long time against even a small clump of heavy cruisers (maybe 10), not even considering external healing. Can anyone tell me exactly what the stats are for a level 7 battlecruiser? Do they gain more firepower as well? It was exciting to see my diligence in keeping ol' TDN Titunev alive pay off.

Hate to break it to you.

But even a level ten capital won't last long against a large swarm of bombers, as I have done multiple times against level ten AI cap ships and even against some players (who promptly quit after lossing their ship - hey, not my fault they didn't have bomber/fighter protection)

If the capital ship is up against frigates and cruisers then yes, it'll last and perhaps even a while against other capital ships. However, against a large bomber swarm, it'll melt in under a few seconds (ten-fifteen, depending on bomber squad numbers)

yeah, but it will also melt under huge numbers of frigates...
