Reply to Quick start woes in Strategy Sins Forums

well to show how much quick start helps advent early game i timed some games i was advent and vasari With quick start on in 8 mins i got 15 assilents out, and in the same time 10 illums. Now here is the change in 8 mins with normal start i got 9 assilents out but only 3 illums. both these tests were on a fixed map i only had my HW and a roid from the start. I tried my best to make them accurate but the tests may be slightly different but the basic idea is there. <

Quick start woes in Strategy Sins Forums

Many people are going to disagree with me but I think quickstart actually hurts the balance in the game. Previously vasari were by far the best early game because assilents are teir 1 and they can get nutrals with scouts. now Vasari only get a very very tiny advantage early game. advent and TEC can easily build 2 or 3 military labs and still pump out ships as fast as vasari.Before quick start it hurt your econ early game to get 3 labs at your HW, you couldnt do it and still outproduce a vasar

[quote]But one idea is good - orkies should do a little less damage to particularly anti-structure ships. That'd be a good idea.[/quote] the only problem with that is as far as i know ogrovs have light armour. which is the same as lrfs. It wouldnt hurt for SBs to do less dmg to anti structure ships but their armor would have to be changed.

Reply to Neutral Balance in Strategy Sins Forums

[quote]Edit: another thing i have noticed... is that vasari players hosting a new map tend to pick maps that are one size too big for the number of players... while this reduces rushing a bit... it also means more neutrals.[/quote] i have seen that a bit. Rubee always hosts bigger than he will play. I usually never host bigger because i want a fair game not one with 2000 nutrals.

this actually balances the game out because the vasari have the worst lrf, so they need money for upgrades and also all of their ships are more expensive and most take up far more fleet points than their counterparts.

Reply to need a clan to play online with in Sins Multiplayer Sins Forums

my best advice to you is to create a game titled "new players only" or anything like that. It will give you the oppourtunity to learn with people at your skill lvl. Then when you get the bacics down you can play with more people and learn advanced stratagies. There isnt really a clan that would be good for you to play with because the 3 main online clans could cream almost anyone skilled or not. i would recommend starting at the bottom then working your way to the top and maybe joining a clan

ascension has basically said what i was trying to. You can not kill gardians effectively with assilents or lrms. they do poor dmg to them. their illums will be able to tear apart your assilents befoer you kill them all because usually a good advent player will have around 10 gaurdians preventing you from killing them off. *slaps himself harder than volt slapped himself*

you are right charged missiles outranges repulse. but it does so little dmg unless you have around 100 assilents it is cheaper to just build another assilent because the dmg is so low. assilents themselves will outrange repulse but they are not a counter support crusiers have heavy armour which is the same as flack (which lrfs can not kill easily). really even with phase missile upgrades you will lose probably around 10 assilents (depending on how many you have) for every gardian you kill. ev

Reply to Iconus Guardian Repulse and Capital Ships in Strategy Sins Forums

i have to agree, i had it happen to me as well. my cap was right at the edge of the grav well had over 70% hp left but it kept getting repulsed so it couldnt move to the edge to jump out. i lost my cap. Repulse should not affect capital ships in the way it currently does.

Major balance issue with illums in Strategy Sins Forums

despite the ridiculous overpowerdness of the illums themselves. I dont think they are the main problem with balance. The problem is every counter to the illums can be simply blocked with a ship or a technology. THe counter triangle is Illum-->Lf--->Carrier--->Illum but then flack comes in and breaks the triangle makeing it. Illum--->LF--> Carrier. the early game counter is gone. with flack illums then counter all early game units exc
