How about making Antimatter Rechargers able to target structures, starbases, and frigates instead of just capitals?

 

WindowBlinds - Free yourself of the default settings, customize your desktop.

Hmm good suggestion.According to entity file it can target frigates.I will have to look into targeting structures.Could be a problem if there was 2 in same well recharging stuff and each other.

I like the mod name.

The changes to turret and hangar prices seems like a good idea. What about also lowering the prices on mines by 30% - 50%? Might seem a little much, but mines aren't that cost effective for what they do.

How about making LRF drain a lot of antimatter each time they fire, like a damage caster unit?

Also i would like to see planet upgrades that isn't just about higher population, maybe like higher population growth rate and such for low tier reasearch?

 

Reply #7 from Sins Forums Top

I feel same way ragamor about the planet things the whole time.The game lacks some depth.The mine issue is a problem because vas use them offensively.I may look into making them cheaper for other races tho I not sure.LRF dont need all that I have nerfed them in many areas so they wont be the main unit.Give it a try its fun for sp too.

I'll download your mod and give it a solid playtrue when i get time. If i hadn't been doing undergrade in graphic design i would have made my own mod as well.

Mines in real life is often dirt cheep, not the most effective killing device, but great at making an no man zone and delaying your enemy. Maybe having them like that in Sins would work wonders as well.

 

What about having planet upgrades being categorized by planet type?

Terran Planet upgrade - Increase all planets population limit.

For higher tax income.


Desert Planet upgrade - Increase all planets population growth rate and add an minor boost to population limit.

For reaching max tax rate at a faster rate and recovering from bombing.

 

Ice Planet upgrade - Increase all planets resilience from bombing and add an minor boost to population limit.

An minor mid game counter to planet bombardment.


Edit: You might want to clean up your change log a little bit so it will be easier to read. Maybe adding a title to each stat type?

Just looked at the gameinfo in diplomacy and i was quite shocked to discover that LFC tier 1 terran planet tech needs 23 minues to repay itself. Thats if you only got 1 terran planet, but even with two terran planets its slower then a snail high on glue.

Also tier 1 planet tech is a waste of money before the planet has reached the population cap. That kinda kills of any early economy tactics. Maybe including some population growth rate with the tier 1 tech can help it somewhat.
