Problems I'm having with the loyalist titan:

1.  The weapons targeting with the titan is fubar.  Even if you tell the titan to attack one ship it continues to attack all the ships around it.  Seems to me if you explicitly give it a target it should devote all appropriate, target-able weapons on that ship until you change the order.  1 Capital ship + 10 frigates closely grouped together nearly took out my titan because it kept spreading the fire around and not aiming just at the capital ship as I kept telling it to...so even though the frigates couldnt really hurt it, it wouldnt go after the one ship that could!  I've seen this problem with the cap ships too but to a lesser extent

2.  Have the loyalist titan be able to build all ship types!  I like the story line with the loyalist being on the move but they dont have a mobile ship building option. This would create a lot of interesting strategic issues with the titan

3.  As everyone has mentioned the loyalist titan is way under-powered for late-game play....

By the way, I've mentioned this in another thread, but I figured I'd mention it here too, when both are maxed, the Vorastra willl lose to the Coronata 1v1.  Even after changing Pulse Waves to Wave Cannons, buffing them, and compensation-nerfing the Phase Cannons because I made them deal damage directly to hull, microing incessantly to take advantage of the lack of side guns on the Coronata, the Coronata wtill survived with most of it's shields left.

Also, as I'm working on the Rebellion version of RR, the way I elected to change the Vorastra was by first causing Pulse Waves to be affected by Wave Cannon research, reducing the cooldown at all levels of SPS by 100 seconds, and reducing the effect of desperation, but increasing it's duration and increasing the cap, allowing you to ultimately achieve more when facing larger fleets.  Last, I made MPJ give the Vorastra an 8/10/12/14 second rotational boost.

We'll see how this causes it to handle...

1. I believe you're mistaken.  Starbases and titans have multiple targets per bank (in the case of the Vorastra, 4 forward, 2 port, 2 starboard, 1 aft IIRC), so what you're reporting is probably just this.  It does not reduce the damage listed.  You see, multiple bank targets means that the listed DPS is given to each enemy it attacks and does not split it up between targets; each target receives full damage.

2. I disagree.  It can SPS which gives you the ability to spawn small fleets of whatever type you want.

What about making the passive damage reduction stack with the rest of the buff when it's reciving damage?

It stacks up to 60% for damage at level 4, so yeah. Thats way too much. Why not just have it stack 4 times per level, OR increase its base by 2.5% per level? The first way gives it up to a 20% resistance increase while under fire at level 4, the second gives it an overall resistance of 20% at level 4. Works out the same both ways, two different ways to get to it and I think it's sorely needed.

At the same time though, you have to consider that until it hits level six, it really has no effective combat ability.

What on earth are you talking about?  Subverters?  The Vorastra's MPJ definitely does not disable enemy ships.

Also, why do you want to buff the Antorak?  Sure, it's not the best capital ever, but this thread is more about the Vorastra.

I am not going to convince you otherwise, i would love it to see buffed, dont get me wrong. But perhaps its relative weakness is there to balance out the sheer power of  the Maw. Really, the other Titans have some great AoE abilities and kill fleet smaller ships easily - like Eradica with its Chastic Burst, Ragnarov with Scattershot, Kultorask with combination of its Nano-abilities....but none of them can do that instantly like the Maw. And i do not want to see it nerfed (drastically), nor other race-specific techs of Vasari Loyalists in a race to balance out now improved battle capabilities of the Titan.

TLDR: I fear the Vas Loyalists would be mightily nerfed elsewhere, if combat abilities of Vorastra were improved - in order to balance it out. I would prefer status quo. 

oh, unintended post, quote instead of edit

i noticed this as well, very cool feature could be used to pull off some very deadly combos

also i haven't seen anyone mention the bug where the maw does not give any experience from the ships it killed, this also hasn't been helping with its lvl gaining issues

just tested dissever out, it does gain exp from its kills.

I think all of its abilities don't require any major buffs, its just the DPS that needs a large increase to make it effective. Maybe add some hull/armor as well.

Its very possible. And yeah, once you gain the Maw, under current circumstances, its actually a thing of choice: either you want to level the Titan further or instagib enemy fleet... so perhaps its fair

I still fear, that devs are going to jump the gun and in order to satisfy the people, who want Vorastra to be buffed, will improve its DPS, but in turn nerf the Maw to oblivion to balance things out. It would be so much easier to discuss, if someone from the devteam - like Yarlen - actually stated what are they trying to do, and if the current state of things regarding Vorastra is actual intended and calculated approach, or its just a crude balance, which is bound to be subject of many further refinements. 

Theres a glitch with the in system phase jump

the in system jump does not let you jump out of a weapons way for example if you are micro pausing a battle (hitting pause every second) and a tec rebel titan fires its snipe at my titan and i have it paused just as the shot is leaving the tec rebel titan i jump but somehow my titan still gets damaged

there also seems to be some pathing issues when you command the titan to attack a planet that has mines / structrues the titan has to go around them and just just adjust its height

also the maw does not give you xp from destroyed ships

The VLT needs 

to have much much higher health (of ate least receive a massive bonus after you make it your home world)

it should also be able to jump anywhere to any system on the map at any time - give it the special abiliity of the cannon so it can open a jump point at the target system and then deploy a phase node

the maw should be able to target and completely strip a planet 

it needs some aft weapons - Really of the vasari are running you think they might have a few aft cannons encase this threat ever catches up

If you make the titan your homeworld and strip everything in sight your titan needs to reflect is importance - meaning a massive health increase & the ability have a massive amount of figheters/bombers just like a fullt defended desert or terran world

should also be able to build or deply phase jump inhibitors 

a level 1 VLT really should be able to handle itself quite well solo

I really liked the idea someone posted above about the in system jump having a area of effect damage 

Vasari loyalist cap ships and titan need to generate culture - allot of it - like an advent starbase can
