Sins 1.1 Changelog/ Balance comments

from Sins Forums

I've had a look throught the Changelog and am pretty excited.

Please reply to this post with comments of the 1.1 Change log and Balance comments.

(Nothing about Impuse Please!!!)

I for one am a little concerned about the increase in strike craft power.  Already the Advent (My Favorite race) seems to easily mop up the other races with them.   This could push the balance too much.

Really I thought the Varsai needed the free Dark fleet just to survive and don't think they will be competitive.

Also I was hoping this patch would have a better anti-strikecraft defense like a generic flack turret for all sides. 

I guess play testing with show if I am right !  

Thanks Stardock / Ironclad for continuing to support this great product!

As I understand it, Carriers will be about 20-30% better in terms of squads per price.

20-30% sounds pretty good -- that combined with flak change should put strikecraft right about where they need to be...maybe even too powerful? well, we'll see!

That was my main focus. Yes, the prices are going up, but you have to remember they're not just like any other frigate. The strikecraft squads can only be hurt by flaks, fighters, and special abilities. Now that flaks are no longer strikecraft death incarnate, I can't see how this doesn't bode well for carrier inclusion in fleet makeup.

With careful management, expensive carriers on the outskirts of a grav well sound like they're going to rip things apart now.
