Corvettes should be bigger targets than fighters and fairly easy therefore to kill. What we need is to have a "heavy flack frigate" to include with our fleets. Then we need a number of "different" corvette models. A heavy fighter of some sort to take em down.
Well honestly I agree on one level and then not on another. Just like the Roman civil wars the badges would be different but the troops would look exactly the same.
Where do I get my space cookie? Also how do I get a space ponie [e digicons]:D[/e] So frigates are the ticket then... unless as the poster above said I divvy up my fleet into 10 smaller fleets and micro like crazy.
Rillet have you ever been in command of anything in real life, there is some micro but general commands should be available for fleets this size? Especially when the computer bogs down with fleets this size making micro impossible and giving the advantage to the enemy. Anyways, I just kicked the AI's ass and found a small bug. String no found after playing on past a military victory as the advent and a repeating voice saying something like "yay the advent won" forever.
thanks mcintire, but i want a way to focus my whole fleet on hoshikos and then have them concentrate on that craft type until I switch to a different type.
I think a campaign would be great.... I have actually just been reading my original sins special edition manual.... love the vasari back story.
I have been having a hard time telling the advent to target the TEC support repair vessels because in larger battles (I have 6gig ram but the game probably does not use it?) my PC stutters. If their was a universal command to switch targetting from support vessels to capitals to smaller direct combat vessels that would be great. I am playing Advent rebels VS TEC loyalists. We are at a stale mate with almost equal planets (10 planets each). Problem is the TEC seem to have the best cult
There was in the original alpha newtonian physics, orbiting planets and 3D Z axis functions. I don't think even phase lanes existed back then. It was deemed not to be fun and dumbed down for the masses. The rest is history. I too wish for better Z axis but believe unfortunately that it requires too much effort on the part of the programmers.
[quote who="DarkSide73" reply="9" id="3119467"]The in game model has more than enough detail IMO. [/quote] I agree. I was trying to illustrate how a good intro does help though to fuel the imagination.
It takes a intro video like this to fully realise in peoples imaginations what the ships should look like. The lack of detail in the game models makes them look a little like simple shapes. But this intro will allow people to fill in the gaps while in game.
[quote who="Mr. Haze" reply="17" id="3118442"] Quoting Halos, reply 12All I can say is my theory seems to be correct (for a part at least). Vasari rebels and TEC join forces. What worries me is their cause. In various sources I've read so the vasari can take the tec with them on their escape. (which is also suggested by the end of the cinematic). But I'd prefer the idea (and I recall a dev saying this in an interview) it is to join forces and face the enemy head on. It
WOW.... nice.... I am rather hoping a fourth special side is revealed..... the dark danger following the Vasari may arrive as the last faction of Rebellion??? Looks more like that than a new sins2 game to me..

youtube? I skipped it the only time I loaded the game to check what the patch added. Never to see it!!!! Can anybody youtube it in all its glory... it is said this is an open beta and screenshots/videos are ok. The prospect of sins2 is making me excited like a little girl BTW.... bad form gents... bad form :)
i notice another patch coming down right now.... 150mb
holy cow!!!! HAve to watch the intro video... hope its full resolution.
Not sure. In the BETA you do indeed have to choose at the beginning and it looks pretty permanent to me.
Check out Wargame European Escalation for the kinda game I'm liking atm. I am of course also playing the rebellion BETA when it matures a bit. Why is it free to play? How will you make your money?
Sorry but this is not my kind of game at all. Maybe I will grow to love it ;) The armies look like a big mess of "blob" with no real tactics other than what your heroe is armed with. Total War LOTR mod will do me. Never been a heroes kinda guy so I guess the targetted audience is very different to sins.. reminds me of that other game by star dock called elemental or the original warcraft2 or 3 with heroes thrown in. If you brought the game to a l
I thought he was talking about a "man" travelling past the said speed?
Transporting the princess on diplomatic missions? They may make good armed scouts.... are they any good at moving in grav wells?
sareth got links?
are we allowed to post screenshots and impressions?
Starshatter the gathering storm - sorta 4X but really a space fleet sim star trek armada II - with fleetops mod (awesome) - an RTS really... a true RTS sword of the stars II - real time combat - this sounds most like what you are looking for but the strat layer is turn based star wars empire at war - not sure if campaign is turn based Conquest Frontier Wars - an RTS with some sins elements and jumping to other solar systems Star Ruler -
My point is that sins2 is not rebellion imho. I would hate to think this is the end of the line for the SOSE game franchise.
