Seeing that TEC Loyalist happen to be the weakest faction and that only the smallest gravity wells can be blocked, I propose to increase the range again.

To a degree....I'd say repulsion ain't too shabby when you consider you can only have ONE ankylon that can't possibly keep up with the VL titan...

Repulsion is also best counter to desperation and that is in many cases worse....

TEC starbase Ability range, the big red button or emergency override protocol, latter is official name i think, what can blow up your starbase when triggered with a time of 1-2 seconds after you order it, it deals huge damage to everything, doesn't matter who owns the thing, kills most strike craft, corvettes, frigates, cruisers, and even weak capitalships in range.

Yes... for all grand 15 seconds....

I see several problems with your idea:

• It does buy you 15 seconds.... as most skilled Vasari players first move their Titan into the right direction before jumping in.
• There is no realistc ammount of firepower that will destroy a Titan in the very short time window you have.
• You cannot outrun a Vasari... and jumping ships are breakfast for the Vorastra.
• You can suprise him only once.

Then there is also the little problem that even without Maw and Desperation the Vasari fleet has more than enough firepower to send your TEC home crying. That the Anklyon does a very poor job doesnt help matters, either.

How many time I used lvl 6 tit only to jump in micro jump eat and then run out without any support fleet. And I wasn''t the only one that did that. And yes 15 seconds is long enough to avoid maw at least with bulk of your fleet.

As for desperation and vasari fleet that is entirely different matter.
