I suggested in another thread (before the official release) that the phase jumping ability be made a 2-level upgrade for the vas rebel starbases. This lets the SB jump and have full weapons or full health/shields upgrades, but not both. The first level of the upgrade could give a moderate buff to movement and turn speed to mitigate the sacrifice of a level in weapons or health.

Since there isnt any room for another upgrade in the ability card for the orkys, take colony pods out of the Vas Rebel tree. That tech doesnt really fit the rebels anyway IMO.

They have buffed the caps and starbases through upgrades and the like to match the titans and as a result the Orkie is a pretty mean cookie jumping in fully leveled.

Alone it's counterable by a titan/fleets/defenses but if its part of an end game fleet it's a bad mamma jamma.

I think it would be cool to add a research ability to defense turrets like the TEC upgrades do but give it an anti-structure capability too.  Maybe one huge shot with a very long cool down.

Removing Colony Pods from VR Orkies would be fine by me.

Jumoing in a second Orkulus after the first is destroyed is inadvisable as the fleet that destroyed the first one will still be there. 

Your idea does have merit due to the fact that the Vasari rebels can "shell game" their SB where a Orkulus built with economy in mind can switch with a Orklus built for defence with some clever tricks.

The only reason they destroy corvettes is ebcause their pulseguns deal Anti-heavy damage which does 100% damage to corvettes.

By contrast every other starbase has ALL capital ship weapons which deal 25% damage to corvettes.

That is why I used the phrase ''simply pretty OP''

Yes we have. One (usually the newer one) star base will shut down.

Make it so that the Orkulus burns off modules in order to jump to planets without phase stabilizers. So basically, in order to do a jump, you automatically lose 3 module slots, making it so that you can only build 5 modules after a jump, and any Orkulus with more than 5 modules already built can't jump at all. There could also be an 8th level research that reduce the burn off to 2.
