I'm writing a sins review for a magazine, and I could really really use the fansite kit with the artwork and this beautiful background with the stars and the planet and stuff like thet. I've looked around, but I can't seem to find it anywhere...
Currently, we can make the universe map as a single system, have pirates, and have the six X races be represented by the three Sins races, but it could be so much more!
Anyone as anxious as I am for the arrival of all the tools so we can finally make the universe from X3 - Reunion? If the tools would allow you to designate new races and distribute techs around, it could turn ou awesomely in the phaselane map form. And yeah, Freelancer could also work. But I'm more interested in the X3 universe :D
Final showdown with the Immortal fleet vs the Advent at their capital. Three Radiances, two Raptures, two Halcyons, 80ish Disciples, a few dozen Aerias and Destras. Not a scratch on me, only a Kodiak managed to get below 50% hull strength. It was an awesome sight when the two gargantic fleets were just about to clash and out of nowhere, a giant effing blue-green ball of plasma flew exactly between the fleets, hit the planet and made it burn like the brightest star. It was quite cinematic :D
I tried this concept last night with Vasari, game looked like this: I built 5 scouts, sent them on their merry way Waited for the mines to give me enough resources Built a Capship Forge, popped out a Jarrasul Evacuator Taken the asteroid system below my home Two scouts found an asteroid belt each, capped them for 4 metal and 3 crystal Built two war labs Waited Built three more Researched Enforcer Prototype. Yes, the very first research Proceeded to build f
That was "a" fleet. I had four fleets consisting of 4 caps each, this one just proved to be the meanest combination. Pop caps were fully researched and filled up, don't worry :) My friend had five fleets of 3 caps each, he played Advent but with the style of a Vasari(ie small fast fleets). For some reason he loves the 3x Halcyon + 15 Aeria + 5 Iconus + 5 Domina fleet :P He calls them the Untouchables, but they're not as untouchable as my own :P
Just ended a 2v2 compstomp with my friend who got the game yesterday. He was Advent, I was TEC vs Vasari and Advent. In the end, the most powerful, useful and intimidating fleet in the game was my battlefleet consisting of a Kol(level 7, Gauss 3, Flak 3, Finest 1), Marza(level 9, Nuke 3, Incendiary 3, Raze 2, Barrage 1), Akkan(flagship, level 9, Colonize 3, Ion 3, Uplink 3), Dunov(level 6, Shield 3, EMP 3), 20 Kodiaks, 20 Repair Cruisers(forgot the name), 5 Cielos and 10 Gardas. Now that may loo
Good, you know your place. Now, bow and grovel! What I meant to say is that Advent are just more dependant on the combined arms game, and if played smart, they can achieve the same results the other races can with less resources invested. The abilities of their ships complement each other more than the combinations of other races that I've foind so far.
Auto joining fleets is... annoying... I had no idea it was in the game, and I kept wondering where the hell the ships I just made vanished... And it makes new fleet designations a needless micro pain. How exactly do I turn it off completely and forever?
Advent are weak if you don't know how to combine their incredibly combinable and easily intuitive ships. But then again, if you don't know how to do that, you should b playing a tank rush, not this gem.
Yeah, don't think caps need any price modification. And that thing about advent ships being the weakest? Yeah, that's a joke, right?
