Good points but unfortunately the game was developed with MP as something of an afterthought so its features are pretty primitive. The developers were not interested in really promoting it as a MP game with a full suite of MP features. Perhaps because most Sins players are SP focused. It was a lost opportunity in my opinion. There are still enough newish players online though to get into MP - just join or host games focused for that. All you can do is use forum threads and stickied articles here to learn as much as you can and then contribute what you can when playing MP. I'd suggest to keep trying to find 5v5 games where the host allows a couple new players and wants to make balanced teams - they aren't that uncommon but I know it can take it a while on some days.

I've never seen true "pros" stacking a team, most of them cry out since it's dead boring to beat a dead donkey with a stick.

There are however "pro" players about now who do not kick noobs from the game. They believe that teaching the young ones will help the game. 

They believe right.. 

Believe in me. For i am Red.

You must believe in yourself and be a stubborn Sonofa to really last in soase multiplayer.

You must lose your ego with your early losses, to be regained later with your constant theoretical victories.

Having ego after say 10 games(and losing most) is a sign that your skill and your perception of your skill don't equal.

Try to get them to equal, and realistically set goals to "beat player X", or "learn strategy X".  

Study replays to give yourself fast game experience with the added plus of fast forward.

Learn how to use time wisely.

And most of all new players, LEARN HOW TO COUNTER A RUSH!

Its easy, build fleet, then if they attack you, defend your HW with turrets/repairs while still building fleet.

You can do this and win with a standard economy.

While you do it, you must ensure that your opponent isn't getting a better economy.

And that, isn't always easy.

lol greg.

Ah I thought u were born in England.. iirc slayer said that u and him was from GB.

Greg sounds like a very Jamaican name to me.....or maybe Swahili....

HeHe

That is personal information and this is public forum on internet

I think this thread derailed just a bit

Are Vasari Rebels allowed to misuse to complete this noble quest? 

Now this is some serious development.   

I need some advice abaut late and mid-game ship composition.

I know it depends to what your enemies building. But at least you may say what counters what. I start with LF and then i start to build corvettes. So at the early game stage i got at least 15-20 LF and 20-25 Corvettes. Then i start to build Flak Ships to defend against enemy corvettes and carriers. After, i spam carriers. Lots of carriers that a could afford. By the time i continously build LF,corvettes and Flaks.

I  usually rush in early game and try to axpand quickly. As soon as the game reaches to end of mid game i really suck and lack what to build next.

I play with TEC (R) and Advenr (R) commonly.

I am waiting for your responses.

OK i will post my next MP match.

Actually i do not lost all the matches i play. (By the way i dont play as much at most 10 MP)  And my economy is not so bad. But as you mentioned i never micro my battles. So i usually lost most of my ships if i dont overnumber them. Thats the porblem i guess. Whatever, i will post my replay soon and you may say whats wrong.

By the way i want to play a multiplayer match with you Ekko_Tek. I will be in game at  08:00 GMT+3 today.
