I agree 100%. Diplomacy should be realistic.

Yes I agree, and I believe even planets should be scaled up.

Maybe a Commander, admiral or heroes what ever you wanna call them, could be assign to a fleet. They would require a upkeep, they dont level up or makes the fleet better, but they will be able to be assigned missions by you. So missions could be alot of different kinds, like: protect my bordors colonize known planets attact pirates attact weak defended planets and stuff like that He will also have the option to make a fleet int

Shades of Homeworld 2. I would love targetable modules on the cap ships, but I don't think the designers are interested. I'd like that if a normal fleet would be around 10 ships or so. Above that and you are lost in the details. Or the AI would have to be REALLY good... I see your point. But maybe we can issu a general order to bombers to attack all capital ships, your bomber squads will disperse in order to attack the

I know this could be off-topic but the best way to make bombers more effective is to add hard points to capital ships. The Bismarck is an excelent exemple: torpedo bombers (I think they were called swordfish) were able to immobilise the battleship without destroying it by blowing up the steering mecanism. Adding hardpoints will make the usage of bombers more tactical and thus more lethal so only then can we justify the addition of aa-guns to capital ship. In that case we can balance

I love you guys

Since I am a humancentrist I will have to go with a human faction. Since the TEC is only trying to protect their economical interests without a real purpose, I will have to go with the Advents who have got the best motivation of all: REVENGE

OK, as you might have noticed I am a supporter of the flagship idea among others like Capital-duty, so I figured out let's have a discussuion to make the flagship perfectly fit in the game or just discredit it if it doesn't work. The flagship is supposed to be your personal ship (every commander has his own ship) which you could fully customise (the way it looks and abilities). This ship is stronger than a capital ship, I am thinking twice as strong, but it should cost a fortune and

As I see it, Sins of a Solar Empire is very similar to Homeworld 2 in that aspect, except it brings it to a higher level. In Homeworld 2 you fight one map, in Sins of a Solar Empire you fight galaxy-wide. And where Homeworld 2 need you to control the ships on a finer level, Sins of a Solar Empire has a smarter AI behaviour and you focus on the war on a grand scale. The only issue I have with this is that in Homeworld 2 I care more about my capital ships, as th

Hey that was my idea, I posted it in A ship Idea post. Hey whatever. I think it is a good idea to have a flagship symbolize your empire's power. but matthewfarmery is right, we should make them different for each faction. It has to do with stats as well as abilities, for exemple The Advents' flagship could have a weak armor however it can fire a psynoc wave which deals enormous damage. The Traders coalition's flagship could have better defense and perhaps a missile barrage a

Shadowhal:now, I too have earned my right to make a stupid post. if you make a super-powerful end game unit, make sure it has a ventilation shaft by which it can be blown up with torpedos guided by an invisible power and fired from tiny x shaped fighters that are piloted by backwater noobs. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Yeah it is kinda of annoying when you think of it. <img src="http://images.stardock.com/gc2/T_DL/smiles/Sad

.....The.....destroyers.....Could fire.......SPOONS I'm sorry. I couldn't resist. (Insert Serious Face Here) Anyway....if you have one invincible ship, you'll just end up with one big fleet marching from one system to another. Untill it reaches the other big fleet. It'll

Cool screenshots! thanks Multianna. From the looks of it I would say that these ships belong to TEC exept the second one, I don't know they look too...human.

I like the idea of giving each planet and its people a certain personality. For example, if you choose to rule with an iron fist some planets and their people will not complain because of their history. However if you impose your dictatorship on a once free and democratic planet, you will have a much harder time imposing your rule and increasing your popularity. But I have a question: do we get to choose our regime type weither a democracy, a republic, a monarchy or an Empire,

Enough spoon nonsense The destroyer idea is not bad althought there is a risk of spam. Since the subject is creating a new ship, allow me to share my idea with you. I am thinking of a super capital ship, a flagship if you will, which you could construct only one. The flagship will be completly customizable including name and size since it's supposed to be the player's person
