Reply to different replays of flaks vs LRM and then mixed fleet vs lrm only in Strategy Sins Forums

[quote]. This isn't how the game should be, and is an imbalance.And before you want to play the "lol balanced fleets win out over that" card, post a replay of such, because I haven't seen it.[/quote] okay soon I will do a balanced fleet, aka mix of two combos (LRM and flak) vs an only LRM spammer. however it will be a much longer replay, but should be fun none the less. oh since you got so upset over micro, I will not micro my side in the massive fleet to fleet battle and t

for those who dont micro I admit 5 flaks cannot kill 10 LRM's without micro, heres a new replay that shows 0 micro. 7 flaks vs 10 LRM, no micro at all. fleet make up: 10 LRM's: 2500 credits, 400 metal, 200 crystal and 40 supply. vs 7 garda's: 2625 credits, 280 metal, 175 crystal and 28 supply. (selling 120 metal and 25 crystal at lowest sell price is 290 credits). outcome: 10 dead lrm, 3 garda alive (one barely, under 80 hp or so). [link="http://ww

[quote]What does the Akkan aura actually do?Dont ships have 100% hit rate everywhere but in ion storms anyway?So it only increases range a bit...[/quote] not all have 100%, things that can attack fighters/bombers do not have 100% (capital abilities have 100%). you can see this at the bottom of the chart in: [img]http://www.crimsonsky.com/images/Sins-Ship-Damage-Chart.jpg[/img] in short makes fighters and flak better vs fighters/bombers.

Reply to Superweapons in Strategy Sins Forums

I agree with zyxx. I would prefer some titan ship to a superweapon structure that can be right at the back of the enemies empire, which could be an issue once they fix PJI and might be one of the reasons PJI are so obsolete in the current version.

[quote]I know I should watch the replay, but at the same time I think logically that this replay is a complete waste of everyone's time. It is common knowledge that flaks school LRMs but the whole thing is can you save the rest of your fleet from being annihilated before they withdraw? You will be losing a cap ship or you'll have to withdraw one that is nearly dead and the battle has just begun. Furthermore, the flaks are virtually worthless against anything but light and very light meaning you

[quote]Please stop what you are doing![/quote] your either implying that you dont want people to know counters or that its misleading. I was under the impression(based on your other posts) that you wanted people to be aware of the strategies/tactics in the game. If this post is misleading, please tell me why. I just want to make my opponents/allies a bit better and not have to argue with people in a middle of a game (e.g. player x: no im not gonna make flaks to kil

different replays of flaks vs LRM and then mixed fleet vs lrm only in Strategy Sins Forums

first 4 replays are garda vs LRM 5th is illuminators vs defense. last part is discussion about clusterwarheads [b]replay 1:[/b] I made a map to demonstrate garda vs LRM (garda is the worse flak price wise and LRM seems to be the best price wise) after seeing that people continue to totally ignore posts which state flak as a counter to LRM. This is just a demonstration of the power of flaks vs LRM's, I did require micro to pull this off, however I could have maybe i

[quote]I've played two games online and both games were won by someone massing just Illuminators. It's a trend that's turned me off to online play.

okay doesnt crash at enabling anymore, gonna try it out a bit. oh you can re-edit the first post in a thread via tools. bugs: on a random small map: -the game crashed when first jumping to the closest planet. -the game crashed when neutrals engaged my scouts, like a second after the first fire was exchanged. I killed 2 tec ships (enemy players scouts) beforehand, so it wasnt the first battle.

Reply to Unit Counters ( I hope this becomes the ultimate counter thread ) in Strategy Sins Forums

vs a fleet comprised of [b]only/mostly[/b] LRM, flaks are actually better than fighters. advent drone: 9 fighters 24 dps cost credits 450, metal 100, crystal 50 and 8 supply. advent defense: 5.55 dps per side, 22.22 dps if hitting on all sides. cost credits 350, metal 40, crystal 20 and 3 supply. you can get a lot more flaks than fighter squads for the same price (remember you can convert metal/crystal to credits) and supply.

Reply to Advent "deliverance angine" near worthless? in Strategy Sins Forums

as advent shield migation is increased by 6% for any of your ships within your influence, if you research the appropriate culture techs. The engine creates influence and thus makes it so ships there will get that bonus. personally I prefer the 15% damage buff vasari get within their influence.

Reply to Balance/Builds Analysis: Attempt to raise the level of the community in Strategy Sins Forums

[quote]Only thing I disagree about is illuminators. Illums own BECAUSE they shoot multiple targets. The way that mitigation works, the most units focus firing on a ship, the less damage a ship takes. Mass illums shooting 3 targets each will do more overall damage than mass LRMs focusing on 1 target, simply because of the way mitigation retardedly works.[/quote] flaks shoot 4 targets and are much better vs light armour and have a lot more hp/shield for their cost/supply, however yes they

hmm I wonder why textures size is different (which files are different), I made sure to check your files were there too. anyway you used the mesh directory from the mod editing package, not the mesh directory from the sins directory, not sure if that would make a difference, but even changing that doesnt help.
