The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly

The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly

Ok so I just have to say that somehow and I can't explain, this is the most addictive game I have ever played. The scale and the seemless zoom is incredible. I just all-around like the game except for some little problems.

The ships, oh the ships so many and so worthless. I have to say I was more than a little disappointed with the fleets and combat. Ships are too weak and too easy to build. A single ship should have much more strategic value than it does presently. I was hoping for a more Star Wars: Empire at War feel to combat. Where every ship is strategicly valuable and you are much more careful with your placement and defence of ships. The ships in sins are too weak and it just turns it into a numbers game, who has more. Then all they do is stop and go one-for-one with the enemy fleet, the combat is a joke.

Fleets - are - ugly. Never did I expect, as I downloaded this game, that your ships would simply make a wall of themselves. If I knew what to expect from this I would have never downloaded this game, I would have waited for release and just pirated it. Secondly I just don't like the way you need flak frigates to destroy fighters, lights and kodiaks to be the backbone of your fleet, you need siege frigates to bomb planets, and robotic cruisers to repair. Every ship type should have a speciality, but no one ship type should be soly responsible for a particular job. No self-respecting military would ever do such a thing. What it needs are smaller more powerful fleets that rely more on the tact and play-style of the player.

I know I've really cut up Sins alot, but it is all to guide the devs to a better creation. I'm not the kind of person who just wants to hate this game, on the contrary I just want to see this game succeed. I am just afraid it won't if it continues with it's current trends. Thoughts?

LOL DroneFragger. I agree, and no offence to the officials, but I think you guys are making some stuff out to be WAY more than it is. Fraser your comment on Sept. 30, I understand this, I'm not 6 years old ok I understand. My point is If you draw a line between ships A and C and then place ship B on that line, ship A will fire at C, and the rounds will pass right through ship B and hit C. I hope that isn't too confusing. What I'm trying to say is that its possible and the A.I. will do it. Also it can be necessary if the enemy has a support style capital ship, it still does heavy damage even though its not on the front line. It is necessary to destroy it first as it is the greatest threat to your fleet.

Everyone is talking about tactics and everyone left out this important observation. Almost all the ships are forward firing. The game was designed as such, therefore should not the rear of a ship be weaker? I don't know if it already is just an idea though.

.... just for the record, I love light carriors

they are the main-stay of my fleet, everything else is build around bombers, (such as capies, for obvious reasons, heavy cruisers to kill gardas, and gardas to kill enimy fighters and bombers)




carriors are a cruiser class ships, and becouse of that ship alone I personly worships cruisers


though I personly don't realy care for cielio's or Hokiko's I know some ppl can use them alot better than I can, and will probly steam-role over me for it.

he's a narcissistic pig who thinks everyone wants to read what he writes and they are, of course, too dumb to notice that he started another thread <3

I didn't say the game sucks... I have some problems with it... this is a beta/fan feedback forum... Riiight?


or is this a "oh my gosh everything is always perfect" forum?... It's called constructive criticism. I'm tired of being insulted by lackwits.

Okay.....
1) You dont own the game, you haven't played it, you can't really critisize anything.
2) You cling to a game that was proposed on the Old Old OLD forums, a game that no longer exist.
3) You are a jerk, plain and simple. I am not trying to insult you, I am just stating a fact.

In my personal opinion this thread should be called the Good, the Bad, and the Karma.

And yes that was a pathetic attempt at a joke.

I have played it and even if I hadn't I would still have a valid opinion on general issues.

strike one.

ok.

2) You cling to a game that was proposed on the Old Old OLD forums, a game that no longer exist.

Cling to the ideas that were innovative and ground breaking? yeah... I do tend to rebel against stale rehashed gameplay being pushed instead of innovative gameplay... funny that.


Good thing there are people around like yourself to see that the game is as common and bland as possible...

Strike two.

ok.


3) You are a jerk, plain and simple. I am not trying to insult you, I am just stating a fact.

Ironically, no... I treat people as I'm treated. I don't respond to anyone harshly until they do so to me first.

So it is amusing to be called a jerk by a forum troll.

Strike three.


And I'm done with you.


Ok...

Is the AI in beta 3 weaker than it was in beta 2 ? It seems like it to me.

BTY I do use the Robot Cruiser very well to keep my Cap ships and other valuable ships going.

Never built a Krosov yet since my Caps do a good job bombing a planet.

I do not care for multiplayer...I really only get about 30 minutes to play and save the game.
