Reply to Plz Buff Siege Frigates (srsly) in Strategy Sins Forums

Siege fleets are as useful as they've ever been, even after the cost increase. There's nothing like attacking one planet and sending your siege fleet to another one not on the border. If you send enough siege frigs, you should be able to take out 2 or 3 planets before the enemy can get a strong enough force to kill the siege fleet... and in the meanwhile, your main fleet is doing dmg elsewhere. If you manage to outmaneuver your enemy with a siege fleet, you generally get a win

Reply to The Verdict is! in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

Actually, i agree with the OP. Sins multiplayer is cool, sins solo is tutorial. The AI is (still) way too dumb which makes solo playing completely unfun (and i've beaten 3 HARD agressor AIs second time i played)

Reply to Noobs quitting - and why wouldn't they? in Sins Multiplayer Sins Forums

I've had a couple of games when someone left, due to losing the first skirmishes, and even with an unbalanced team we ended up winning. Hence proving that the ones that left shouldn't have (as in: it wasn't a lost situation) --- My suggestion to "fix" it would be to intrroduce some sort of system that would flag quiters as well... er... "quiters" so that other people can just reffuse to play with them so as not to ruin their game experience. Making such a system "fair" would ne

Phasic Barrier in Technical Sins Forums

The Vasari phasic barrier isn't turning off ( after there's no more threats nearby) in the game i'm playing, anyone noticed this? I had to manually disable it to get my structures back...

Reply to Defense is useless. in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

Defense is useless? i don't think we're playing the same game then... If anything, sins is a turtle's delight. As for people avoiding systems, well, i don't seem to have that problem against multiple AIs, i just build 1 phase inhibitor as far from phase lanes closest to enemy territory, surround them with a bunch of gauss cannos (or whatever) 3/4 hangar bays with fighters only and 1 repair bay. Unless you're dealing with bomber spam, this layout should hold out long enough for

Reply to AI Weaknesses noticed in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

In a game i'm playing, the AI really behaved stupidily. They had sent one small fleet to one well defended planet (maxed out). Their fleet wasn't strong enough to make any serious damage, so they ran (apparently correct) shortly after they sent another fleet(started jumping in about the same time the other fleet started jumping out) coming from a different place than the first fleet and that fleet, which was about teh same size of the other attacked my defenses and got beaten. If the AI had use

Reply to Spaceships and asteroids look crappy? in Technical Sins Forums

Saying that sins looks worse than HW2 is quite an overstatement... It's probably true that sins doesn't look as good as HW2 did if you compare to other games available at their respective times. (where's the DX10 support afterall? We want crysis in space - or probably not :P) Also, there are "big" differences between naval combat and space combat, specially the part that many have seen naval combat and no one has seen space combat (yet) Reality doesn't really work since that re

Reply to Do fleet tactics matter in this game? in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

If you attack a fleet from the rear, they won't be able to fire at you. And i think most TEC ships are geared towards the front (while Vasari can shoot better to the sides). Only problem is that 99% of the times you don't really get a chance to attack from anywhere other than the front

Reply to Pirates: The Worst (or Best) Part of the Game? in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

The pirates are vital to break stalemates and since Sins can be played turtle like (which is awesome) i'd say they're critical to prevent the game from going on for hours and hours even in the smallest maps 1 vs 1. Though i'd say options (or making it easy to see which maps don't have pirates) never hurt anybody (except the developers :P)

Shrewd Diplomacy in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

I'm playing a game with 4 AIs (unlocked teams) And i have a cease fire with 2 of tehm but not with the third. That third AI then saw fit to send me a siege fleet of death against one of my least defended planets (cool) and to prevent it's destruction. The problem was that the AI actually accepted. A human player would always finish off the planet first (the AI only needed like 3 or 4 more secs to finish the planet off) and then say : "sorry was busy somewhere else and couldn't

Reply to Very Dissapointed? in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

This game doesn't aim at being a 5 min rush RTS. The slowness at the beginning is necessary so you don't get overwhelmed towards the end when you're playing in a larger galaxy

[quote] What do you guys think. If you were trying to explain to others why they would like Sins of a Solar Empire, what key points would you bring up? [/quote] Gorgeous space sim (sim as in: it tries to simulate how it would look if you were there). I'd go as far as to dub it as homeworld successor (graphics wise). Sins, unlike many games these days, is original, it doesn't feel like you played i
