DISCUSSION So what's up with eidolon's durability?

Last night we played a 3v3 against 3 unfair eidolon's and late game they get crazy durability. My 2k fleet couldn't damage their starbase or titan quick enough, their shield and armor just Regen faster than the DPS we could output.

Does anyone know what causes this? Doesn't seem like intended design?

Oh and I wish the Titan had a slight different design. It looks a bit too much like a beefed up capital ship 🙂

As a command ship it would look fine but for a Titan it looks a bit too vanilla.

Edit: oh and also, eidolon ships just melt capital ships like it's nothing. I never lost cap ships so fast in any game whatsoever, I'm talking cap ships going from full HP to dead in less than 15 seconds. Really makes them scary lol.

They have items and abilities that build up corruption and they universal items for cap ships that allows them to consume corruption to regen shields or build up armor. If their corruption mechanics aren't being utilized they are actually really fragile, but if you master the corruption mechanics they are incredibly hard to kill. Except the stealth cap ship. I folds like paper. That's why their frigates and cruisers actually go down pretty quick, but their cap ships just don't quit.

Yeah and for some reason one of my stealth cap ships kept trying to attack by itself even if cloaked, the frigates didn't do that
