Detriment and Transport Plane

there are simple solutions to prevent him from dropping detri in your base. Build anti-air, or attack him so he cant start building detriment.

The unit that transports Detriments is actually a special large-transport that is explicitly created for the purposes of moving large unit around on the map.

That's *what it's for*.

If your enemy is fielding enough resources to push out a Det and was invested in gunships (to build the transport) then this is a very high-resource game. With that kind of resources around, you should've had enough AA to keep at least a Vindicator out of your base. The Det would've still killed you, but it would've had to do it from the outside.

There should be a experimental transport that can either transport a ton of small units or a single big experimental.

Often this is one of the only things that makes the detri practical, and it is quite easy to beat with screamers, which if the enemy is fielding BB's on a map like that, they really should have had. Seriously, one screamer, and he is sitting in the lava.

That being said, while there are counters, it may be a tad too much.

Do any of the super heavies make cost btw? (starlight detriment etc.). Everytime i see one its like 'for half the metal cost this game would have ended 10 mins ago'.

You can check stats. Detriments and nukes make cost easilly.

I highly doubt that modstats takes into account the 3k each cost of the missiles (Though it also doesnt take into account the 3.5k cost of anti-nukes that never intercept anything, essentially allowing the silo to 'make cost' purely from threat alone- which is one of the very many reasons modstats is totally useless for so many applications).

never saw that happen through

Once I played alone vs a medium team (my team left or had only something left in a corner).

Because I was 2v1 - and 3v1 if you take air into account - in the sea, there were many wreckages in front of my base.
Finally I won one sea in "Supreme Battlefield ???" and had 4 sniper subs, a few rezzed Hunters about 6k m in Anglers, 1 Enforcer, a few hovers, ducks and scallops.
I made one Reef - they nuked where the Reef NOT was but all my cons and 3 sniper subs + a few Anglers!
I made the Reef basically because it's drones can scout for zero cost.

I finished a tac sub after the nuke, claimed the starting-island (why did they not attack it and porc up? maybe because it looked destroyed?) a few mexes in the other sea and finished a det.

After that they tried to use Zenit vs det!
Unluckily I had to give them the time to finish it, because the coastline-Pitbulls, Penes and other stuff damaged my det to 33% 2 times.
On the third assault I killed the rest of their eco and the finished Zenit.

Det made cost, Zenit not.
Modstats are wrong, because I played vs porcy noob team and they though they could beat 1 player which is left with chilly play styles.

I think the Zenit (cost all the resources, let players wait for it) had made them lose the game.

Detriment is cheaper then a starlight (WTF)
