Reply to AAR : Advent vs. TEC in Strategy Sins Forums

:) I love pulling off stunts like these, but the only thing that struck me as odd was that this requires you [i]severely[/i] outpowering him. My assumption is that if you forced him to retreat twice then you probably could have taken his fleet on defenses and all. (and thus his split might have been quite effective against you :P) but all in all an impressive scheme to prevent severe losses while inflicting many on him, I'm impressed :LOL:

certain ships can capture them (dependant on the race) vasari scouts, advent and TEC colonizers will do the trick.

Reply to Favorite Advent ship combo's ? in Strategy Sins Forums

balanced combo, support ships as well as light frigs and heavy cruisers and flak and a few carriers tossed in for fun the thing about advent fleets is that each ship covers a specific job so well that you should have practically all of them.

[quote]Did you even play the PDS mod[/quote] yes, and while the motion was *improved* it was not made into "sporadic" motion of units, it was just better torking and slower decelerations.

Reply to The "serious imbalances" thread in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

oh that is so not true, I've seen plenty of games (at least as many as the situation you described) in which the offensive cost the player too much resource and he was struck down by a counter attack which removed more than he even had a chance of getting in the first place. the game never really entered a rolling-stone situation, and it sure isnt as bad as the "fix" we got for it.

[quote]. It's not really noticable in vanilla Homeworld , but with some modifications such as in the PDS mod they zoom around the big ships and remain quite a threat.

If a ga [/quote] there is almost no motion, sure they move to grab defense, but after that they just sit there again

[quote]Any ship which wasn't a strike craft, including frigates, could be issued a "move while attacking" order. This was incredibly useful as you could keep firing at a target while physically moving your ships away from harm[/quote] and how is that different from sins? theres a move while attacking order here to, its something you can micro.

[quote]Homeworld 2: Everything up to destroyers moves around a lot in combat, made even more prononced with the PDS mod. ORB: see Homeworld Nexus: The entire game centered around tactical starship combat. Anyone claiming capital ships don't move around in this one is simply blind, even battleships constantly roll and wave to bring weapons to bear and dodge fire. All done automatically, off course.

[quote]BigBadB got the right idea on why the ship cap change was made.

now if ANY of you can find me a prolific game where all of the units move around sporadically for no other reason than to dodge fire, I'll bow down and kiss the floor. until then this thread is full of a bunch of trollmongering and name calling. the idea isnt [i]feasible[/i] which is why its not [i]implemented[/i] strike craft make an exception (ignoring for now that sins [B]has[/B] them) because in all games any one side only as a few types, so double-clicking them is an easy solut

Reply to Should ships just stand completely still in battle? in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

find me a game that has units that automatically move while firing (save strikecraft) there is not a SINGLE game that does this automatically, starcraft, supreme commander, command and conquer, nothing. any idiot who thinks this game is going to be different has got to be smoking something. theres a reason that NO game has automated unit movement. now if you want to micro the units FINE, but do it YOURSELF you lazy turd. quote me to whatever forum you got that from.
