Hmmm, and so fleet points would be gained from orbital 'Military Fleet Supply Ports' (call it what you want) instead of planets? I think he was talking about the cap-ship "crew point" part, not the full up fleet points part. That said, I do like the idea myself, of having both bonus "fleet" and bonus "capitol crew" points coming from tactical structures -- it makes the tactical points of all those rear-area planets that you don't need to bother

Reply to Will the AI eventually be z-axis aware in a meaningful way? in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

this game completely alienates pure 4x fans, and has as of now very little enticement to RTSers, i I'd disagree with both of those statements. I agree it needs serious work, but its not as bad as you portray it to be.

Reply to Brainstorm: Planet Bonuses in Beta Feedback Sins Forums

The ironic part is that this is the planet that I first colonized at the very begin of the game. O.o don't you have to research the tech first? Why didn't you grab a few asteroids while you were waiting? On top of that, you're missing a bonus. You always get both expert crystal and expert mineral miners with the kalanite deposits. I wonder if its a display issue or the planet just already had too many bonuses to add it i

The problem with negative discoveries is that they will encourage letting the planet get bombed out by the enemy, then re-colonized to get rid of the penalty!

It would be cool to have more economic bonuses for trade alliances. Yeah, definitely. Heck, I'd just be happy with non-aggression packs being separate from alliances. I am getting really tired of the AI taking my "lets not kill each other until later" proposals as "lets be bestest buddies!"

Reply to Gameplay element missing in sins - proposal included in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

Personally, I find the idea of raiding the enemy's supply lines (AKA trade / refinery ships) to match up what your asking. And if it weren't for phase inhibitors, you could do that to anyone who forgets to build hangars as rear area defenses. Which means that scouts, again, can do that kind of fun. Just move the jump inhibition down, IMO -- it needs it anyway.

Well... that sounds very nice and everything but when was the last time you ate meat? Are you prepared to pay 200 dollars for a pound of meat that only comes from animals that died of natural causes? Old animals... animals that were sick? I'm not saying food animals don't die. I'm saying that I don't kill them to no purpose beyond spite. There's a big difference between respect and affection. Yup, and I do respec

I'm not from another planet I know this game is a Beta, the only thing with betas is you improve from beta to beta. Its a beta: They have not only the right but the obligation to screw up from time to time. Why is it an obligation you ask? Because if they get it too perfect, they're spending too much time polishing internally when they should be releasing to us to help track down bugs. I don't know about you, but I want the flaw

Eh, only if you can gather enough data to accurately plot the enemy. As far as sins goes, projectiles move with sufficient speed and accuracy that any attempts by a frigate or larger ship to dodge would be futile anyway. So they don't even try. Strike craft can dodge, and corvette-class ships aren't in the game (so feel free to speculate whether they would or not). Of course, whether or not a target is in t

ron, you need to eat more doughnuts, then you would see what he means ... I know what a donut is. Its a great big circle. Which makes sense as a design for a space station. But I would expect such stations to be more like bicycle wheels so ships can dock in the near-0 G section, avoiding a little bit of the problems you could have otherwise.

. And I suppose that there is a setting at the game creation where you can decide the amount of Dead asteroids in the map? No, they're generated like any other planet. I personally would play with some, to make some remote, hidden bases. But I presume that "No logistics" means no interesting structures (like research station, shipyard, etc...) Am I wrong? Actually, they aren't any good as remote hidden b
