Reverie killed by last patch

from Sins Forums
I've noticed that since the autotargeting behavior was changed to prevent ships from focus-firing enemies under the effects of reverie, it is now impossible to attack targets under said effects (Reverie being the leftmost ability of the Advent ship that looks like a flying brain. Revelation i think is the real name). While there isn't anything inherently wrong with this, the Vasari Marauder does the same thing, more often, for a fraction of the anti-matter cost. This needs fixing, either in terms of cost or functionality.

I like that if you deal too much damage the stun effect wore off...now let me have the option to deal that damage. Does anyone agree? Or was it was too powerful before the patch? (Given that the cap's other regular abilities are pretty worthless, I find that hard to imagine).

I agree. Maybe ships shouldn't auto-target ships under reverie, but if the player explicitly orders units to attack it, I think the units should obey. I've found it's not very useful to kill capital ships anymore. Still not bad in the heat of a battle, but I usually turn off autocast once the enemy starts fleeing.

Exactly! I was using it in early battles to neutralize the enemy capital while killing the frigates, then finish off the capital when the smaller ships are gone. Now...I just sit and stare at the capital until it wears off; not being able to shoot at it makes it kinda silly.
