Change SINGU stats

I believe that singu is 2 much of a game changer. I was watching players fight CAI, I noticed the CAI had 40 income, and like 95% of the map, covered in fusions. Yet the players had a small area under their control with 3 mexes and was out doing the CAI in income with just 5% of the map under their control. I know that normally the singu would get destroyed pretty quick but it still brings out a issue. Singu offers 2 much for so little. Espcially on some maps where mexes don't give much income.

I believe singu energy output should be changed or at least the way energy income overdrives mexes to make "singu" have less of a "sliding" effect on a game.

Most team games the best players just rush a singu. This alone tells me that singu has 2 much of a effect on the outcome of a battle not to mention it promotes porc style gameplay which results in most games being porc vs porc while someone tries to rush a singu.

Singu explodes like a bomb...it has the reason to do so much

i can do what i do with singu farm using fusions... and i have done so on my smurf acounts...

total mex linkage using fusinons instead of pylons is posible, and cheap to do, and this will usualy outpwerform singu spam to some extent

the singu is more for an eco dump when you have 4000m in storage then some form of mainline eco structure, if you are using it as a mainline eco structure, you are doing it wrong (you have already won, so get to winning)

I just wanna point out that CAI has a huge problem winning against porcing players. I've seen this scenario multiple times, CAI conquers the whole map, but then just keeps feeding basic units to porc.

A starlight-rush mode for CAI when it reaches 70% map coverage would improve its winrate by a ton. ;)

Agree with sprang that CAI has no recourse against terraformed porc. I think a specific anti-porc strategy like Starlight would be a good move, assuming we want to discourage pure porc (I do). However it's a bit of an issue when players can't build one themselves.

Full disclosure, I was involved in that game but realized too late that half the team was going for walled in porc. Cue 2 hour war against lag. I will point out that we had a few more than 3 mex (6?) and a Moho geo, many fusions and 1-8 singus depending on when you looked. Plus whatever metal the CAI was throwing at us. I don't think singus were game changers, the game changer was when the wall of porc became impenetrable to CAI raiders. Then it was just a matter of whether the CAI could lag us out before we won.

Perhaps CAI should spam fleas as anti porc? :)
Edit: ooh. Or Dirtbags? That might be quite effective against ditches, plus they are super annoying and cheap.

Increase Singularities' model size and footprint by 50%. After that, double the size of Starlight and Zenith. In fact, increase the size for all these super expensive things. That will not only increase ZK's "epic scale", make walling them in or hiding them harder, but as a nice side effect also tell new players "Hey look, this building is SUPER HUGE, maybe you should not build it before anything else?"

BAM, three birds with one stone!

I second bigger structure and bigger boom :D

singu is so tiny....

I like Skasi's idea. Make it big and let it boom like a nuke.

Anarchid, I think Starlight needs to be remodeled anyway. It looks pretty boring for one of the most powerful structures that exist. Othere expensive structures should look fine when scaled up though. Singu's big shiny ball for example is the most prominent feature, I think the rest doesn't need too much detail 'cause you never look at any of it.

Singu is pretty ridiculously efficient, I have been wondering if it is too good. 4000 cost in fusions makes 140e compared to a singu for 225e.
