Well it always bothers me a bit that SCU and T2 massfabs are better then T3 massfabs. So that's why i put it in balance forum. It just seems counterintuitive since T3 massfabs look to me like the highest risk unit of those 3.

Still thanks for the info

the t3 fabs are so bad atm you can build 2 times the eco (pgens + t2 fabs) for their price and its also safer if you do it right - t3pgen with 16 fabs around it, separate from everything else and under shield - so if the fabs die then only 16 of them.

also t3 chain react just as nicely if you damage one first then kill one

in other news ras preset sacu are the best option atm:
- most convienient - just queue up 100 of them and you don't need to worry till the end of game
- also don't worry about pgens cos they gen power also (unles you are mega air player)
- from above being power sniped isnt so bad
- most hp, can hide in water for extra defense
- explode, but are so safe you need to kill like 16 to chain react
- can build, and no less than t3 at that , and with a long range, perfect for exp spam
- can be stealthed better because they are a unit
- take up least space, and little unit cap
- easier to hide eco in things like ffa
- can move - many benefits including avoiding nukes better
- if its safe can reclaim also
- have 300dps so can kill bricks in 1v1 (not mass efficient but if your eco defends itself then .. yeah)
- on top of that can build sams/pd/shields for extra defense if need be

however they are inefficient so there's that. but it doesn't stop everyone from spamming them due to above reasons so yeah.

Idk they've been better since vanilla lol, I think in vanilla t2 massfabs made 2 mass for 40e xD And t3 massfabs did 24 mass for 1500e

I guess it's just that both have their drawbacks.

T3 massfabs have
+ Less unit cap
+ More adjecency bonus
+ Can space out more (smaller chain reaction)
+ Atleast has some hp

- Less efficient
- Big so might now fit everywhere

And t2 are
+ More efficient
+ Fit almost everywhere

- Are usually made in chains for most highest efficiency so have big chain reactions
- Less adjecency
- Almost no hp

So it's upto you to decide (altough if you want eco t2 is probably the way to go, just put them besides a t3 pgen and under some shields and you should be fine)

Massfab question

2015-09-06T13:03:57+02:00

Hello,

Is there a good reason why T2 massfabs are superior to T3? The only good things i can think off for T3 is more health and more space efficient. I've not been around for long so maybe there is a damn good reason, but i just can't think of it myself
