    • The Strands


      Iggys are the hardest and I don't care what you say people. Zidigar are next they are preety easy for me but nothing is really a challenge to me. Next is Agadzra they may be fast and quick to recover but against a UE Cruiser with three fighter bays and 5 neutron turrets its just a masacare.

      ------------------

    • Well, you're talking about whom to fight against. Who would you like to fight with?

      The Zidigar. They are, culturally, the closest to the UE, and have no subversive agenda. They just want to knock the Igadrza off their snooty throne and little else. In addition, the mission reward that increases your hull space is a valuable gain for a UE Fighter jock like myself.

      ------------------
      There is no surer danger than the accuracy of friendly fire...

    • The Zidagar are the stupedest of all the strands there war ships are so crapy that with a density scaner they show up as the small dots with there fighters. 😛 Also if you hadn't already read some of my other postings you'd know that I took over all the Zidagar planets and then took them over again in under an hour. 😄

      ------------------

    • The Azdgari are the best. An Azdara with Dospect and the Experimental Generator is invincible. It has at least one advantage over every other ship. Speed is effective against everything except Kraits, CFs, and other Azdaras. The superfast shield regen is good everywhere. In fact, it's so good that the Azdara is one of the few ships that can effectively use offensive cloaking (The other ships are the Voinian Frigate, Cruiser, and Dreadnaught). The only downside is that it has almost no cargo space and takes forever to kill large warships, especially Voinian ones.

    • In my opinion, all the strands are equal with strengths and weaknesses.

      You do not want to know what I know after reading some of your postings, sir.

    • Well, I have to agree with anybody who likes the Azdgari and hates the Zidagar. I think that the Zidagar are the pussiest ones, the Igadzra are the best ones to fight with, but I like to join the Azdgari.

      anybody who disagrees with me, is dumb and not worth my time, so if you disagree with me, that shows that you know nothing, so dont disagree with me.

      It's worth it.

    • Uhm, i dont think i got your question. Do you mean which strand is the best or which is the worst.
      Anyway, the azgari is wayyyyyyyy the coolest race and the worst (pretty simpel) would be the Igazra and the Zidaras. Its just so nice killing Iggyziggys. Ofcourse not when one is hunted by Masskill mother....... cruiser.
      If i ever find out who made that plug, he's gonna be phased beamed to heaven :mad:

    • Azzies- No durability what-so-ever, poor organization, low firepower.
      Iggies- Low numbers, and slow.
      Ziddies- Huge packs, nice firepower, and are generally friendly.

      So screw yall!!!

      The ever so friendly, Alien.

      You're doing him a favor by calling him sir...

      I don't think this thread was a poll about the strands.... it was just a place where this guy could go to brag about whatever he's done, and speak his opinions. Well, we all have opinions, but I don't see everyone posting them in new threads.

    • Can you work for one strand and then join another?

    • Only with the Triple Agent plug, availible on the (url="http://"http://www.ambrosiaSW.com/games/evo/addons.html")EVO Addons Page(/url).

      My favorite strand is the Azdgari. Their Azdaras rock, their Arada and Enhanced Arada can take on every other arada in the game of EVO except for maybe the Zachit Arada, and the Azdgari Warship is the better than a Zidara (which stink terribly and are really wussy) and the Igazra is kinda slow.

    • The Azdgari rock, although it is worth noting that the phased beamer can take out an Azdara in no time flat. The only strand I don't care for is the Igadzra....the only major tech you get out of working for them is the plasma siphon, and I have no need for flying an Igazra either. IMO, the stuff you get working for the Azdgari and Zidagar is far more practical.

    • Actually, IMHO, the phase beamer is worst weapon since windows. Although it can take out an Azdara after a few seconds, the Azdara is gone by then, and is at that point turing around to make another pass at the helpless Zidara.

      Now, just imagine what would happen if the Voinians and Azdgari made an alliance, and the Azdgari put dospect and a shield generator on their Azdaras...

      Well, besides the fact that shield generators wouldn't help the dospect (very much in battle, that is), I like the idea that someone creates the perfect game where as you're playing the alliances are changing and a thing like that happens. Just imagine the voinians jumping in to destroy kelmaon just to find a couple of dozen Igadzra waiting (he he) (eeh, well, god doesn't like folks go off-topic. Maybe start a new "imagine-if" topic?)

      I still love Thunderstorms. Don't you?

    • All the strands have their good points, and the strand war will never end b/c the strands are so evenly matched. Here are the Stats, not oppinions:
      Zidagar- Pack a good amount of firepower into a relatively small ship, at a low price.
      Adzgari- Extremely fast and agile, but a massacre if you turn the game speed down. Also a lot more expensive than Zidagar
      Igadzra- Slow, relatively good firepower, pretty good mobility for its size- heavily shielded.

      In a fight between the major strand ships:
      Iggy vs Ziggy- Ziggy wins
      Iggy vs Adzg.- Adzgari wins with the fighters (w/out the fighters, the AWS loses easy)
      Ziggy vs Adzg.- Adzgari wins- those dang flies! (w/out the fighters, the fight depends on if the Adzg. gets behind the Ziggy. Not likely, the Ziggy usually wins)

      ------------------
      The difference in
      insantiy and ingenious is
      measured just by success.

    • So the answer is easy, adzdagari all the way. They are just better
      Is´nt this quite an old topic?

    • yep, it's from the last milennium

      Haven't you heard that an Azdara with dospect and a shield generator as well as an experimental shield generator is invincible?

    • I don't mean to be rude, Carno, but haven't we heard that crack about the Voinians and the Azdgari a lot? I mean, it would be a great alliance, but they live on opposite sides of the galaxy. And besides, who ever heard of the Voinians being allies with another race? They're xenophobic!

      Anyway, I think the Azdgari are the best strand. you might say that since they don't control many systems, that they will eventually lose to, say, the Igadzra. But the Azdgari are totally mobile, (galactic nomads) so they're probably better off having a renegadeish territory.
