Most likely the game will be very well oriented multiplayer wise, but we dont know yet well have to wait for the beta and even then we cant really be sure.

Ah, as I thought, I was jumping the gun- thanks for your response blair.

if you would actually read the forums...the game will be using its own online multiplayer service for rankings and such.

Thank you for that warm response to my first post in this forum since about six months ago.

I think as is in a game with both human players and AI players, the humans would be the bane of eachother, and AI would reign supreme

haha, id ally with both the AI and the player(s), and when the time is right ill strike at one of ya

or better yet, ill ally with both of ya, and when you 2 attack the AI ill be attacking some where else

this all reminds me of a hw1 match i had once...this was back when homeworld was new and there were few people in the MP lobby....In that game i was a master of the fighter rush..so one game i played a 1 vs 1 match..i harassed the hell out of the guy i was facing i completely destroyed his harvesting operation and he was going exclusively down the capship research path...at this point the guy was livid..yelling about how what i was doing was cheap (I was hyperspacing in wave after wave of fighters/bombers via supply frigates) he kept going on and on about how if he could get his capships out he would dominate me. Then he quit the game. was only a 15-20 minute match

So i decide to start another match after this i was annoyed with facing human opponents so i started a match with human allies vs AI opponents 4 vs 4 i believe. Lo and behold geuss who was one of my allies, the dufus from the last match. So we go about playing the game..we didn't talk much. I managed to take out 1 AI fast then the game dragged on for a bit i managed to get a carrier full of fighters before the resources on the map ran out..at this time he had finally gotten all his capship research done and got stuff built..at this point there was only 1 AI left and he had yet to even launch an attack. I sent my carrier out to kill the last AI and while that was out doing that chore the jack@^% unallied himself with me and launched everything he had against my undefended mother ship he destroyed it gloated about how he thought that he was proven right about capships being better than fighters in that game then had the nerve to offer an alliance back with me. I said no way in hell then i got everyone else to attack him and turn him and his great fleet into space debris.

Moral of the story:
1. Big scary boats are fun but if u face me i make sure u don't ever get to that point
2. Dont be a jerk otherwise i get all my friends and nuke you


and what this has to do with the topic im not really sure....its a good story anyways

LMFAO Starclad's lies and duplicity EXPOSED! AHAHA this is too rich!!!

SP apologists have always claimed sins was never meant as a MP game, and that it was only tacked on at the last minute so the devs can play with each other (this is also what the devs have claimed). Well here is the proof to disprove that lie.
