Two questions about Scrin

[hmily444]

May I ask two questions about Scrin?
1.Once the Devastator warship's shield is shotdown how it can regenerates a little faster? standstill? in the tiberium field? back to the airport?

2.Once the Carrior and the warship recieve some damage on their hull(not the shield) How I could repair them? Or they can recover by themselves automatically?

PS:My manual is somewhere in my brother's house and nowhere to be found...:(

1.Keep it out of combat, and even then, I think it'll still take the overly long recharge period it usually takes for a force shield to get back up.

2.Put them near a Gravity Stabilizer. The little repair drones should patch the things up. Otherwise, if you've got a PAC handy, just make an ion storm and any air units in it (That are affected by it, at least.) will regenerate lost health.

Work on your English a bit, please. You remind me of so many pictures with captions that made fun of the way you type...

Oh I see

Sorry but my country is not the english-speaking country at all... shame on me

and some more questions:
1.how can I pronounciate the word 'login'? the letter 'g' same as the 'g' in 'game' or 'genie'?
2.What does the 'all Miners FTW' means in a poll thread?:(

as in game,
all miners for the win? I thought it was something else...

The carrior has lots of 'small planes' flying very fast. but when they are killed, could the carrior 'regenerate' the new ones?

Yes, Planetary Assault Carriers will restock on fighters* if they lose them, I believe. This prevents them from becoming useless should their entire rack of fighters get shot down and the Carrier left intact. I don't know how quickly the fighters are restored.

Planetary Assault Carriers spawn with none of their fighters, in fact. They quickly load them on after taking to the skies. I expect the fighters respawn slower after the initial 8, but in most cases your enemy (if human) will probably try to micro their AA to take out the carrier itself, which is a far more effective endeavour than just popping the fighters.

Which is, of course, where Stormrider swarms and Warships come in handy. ;)

(*The WorldBuilder refers to them as "Invaders" - "AlienInvaderFighter", to be precise.)

WorldBuilder really sucks a lot of my computer memory i say...Thank you telling me the true name of that small plane that I spoke of...

PS:Since I cannot click on those invaders ingame, so I cannot know the name:)

Not always, especially if you have yourself some veteran/Heroic Venom gunships or a moderate amount of stormriders with experience, cause in that case it may be wiser to quickly kill off all of the fighters from the PACs along with any AA support and then finally focus on the PACs themselves. (trust me, Heroic AA units will tear through those fighters so quickly that it will render the PAC utterly useless until they regenerate, which will take a while).

Sorry but my country is not the english-speaking country at all... shame on meIt's alright, had it happen a few times before.and some more questions:
1.how can I pronounciate the word 'login'? the letter 'g' same as the 'g' in 'game' or 'genie'?
2.What does the 'all Miners FTW' means in a poll thread?:(1.Log-In.

2.I think you might mean the "Ore Miners FTW!" option in my Harvester VS Harvester poll. That's referencing to Red Alert's harvesting unit, the Ore Miner, which dumps off its resources quickly without having to go through the long unload time that Tiberium Harvesters do.
If you don't understand the FTW part, that means "For The Win".
If that's not what you mean, then...I haven't the foggiest idea as to what you're talking about.

Oh, and Planetary Assault Carriers aren't completely useless when they have no fighters. They can still provide an ion storm and they still detect things, plus they can attract a lot of fire.

Gah!!! u got to that first... If I make a PAC force I would have one with an ion storm while the others attack by manual micromanaging

[hmily444]

That's it! The ore miners FTW(I mistook that as 'all' shame on me...)

The PAC is a really powerful air force! The computer always build a lot of AA turrets surrounding its construction yard, as it said: "Do not use your air attack, or be obliterated!", but this make no sense to PACs... the AA turrets always tend to attack the invaders...
