wow, this thread is still going? :D
Rokkitlauncher
excellent story - really makes you think about what all those little ships you control are really thinking :D
Thanks Can i also get a muffin :P
Can someone make this a sticky thread since we never know when the next exploit will be found. People not adhering to these rules has made multiplayer unplayable until the next patch Can someone also delete / lock the thread that is openly showing people how to perform current exploits?
i do think that the vasari dark fleet is a little too powerful atm - instead of 5 ships it should only really be 2 or 3 (and you should only be able to build one phase gate at each planet) reaching that tech for vasari is practically a win condition as u can crank out 2 phase on each planet and then get so many units without spending any resources..
toothless - you can quit all the games you want even if we get the ranking system i want! - just don't play ranked games
the point this thread brings up has been unfortunately mis-interpreted by about 20 people who read the first post of a thread, and jump to conclusions faster than Bush in the Middle East. people who do not want to play ranked games, that's fine, stay in your noob teamers - however there should be an option for people who want a more challenging experience, and who want to play the game to win. if the situation is not changed, then how is the game ever going to avoid the eventual doom of as
why are you posting in the multiplayer area if you have never played a multiplayer game?
if there are ranked games, and i get ranking when people quit then it would not bother me so much - after all they quit bcos they are going to lose. quitting without consequence is ridiculous - this situation of too many quitters was bound to happen i find it hard to even blame people for quitting when it is a no-lose situation, and you get out of playing a losing battle - it is not them that annoys me, it is the system i am not saying FORCE PEOPLE TO PLAY anyone who is STUPID
the speed at which this thread grows indicates a clear problem with the current system i had set up a ranking system for the BETA, and it can be used for release also within it is a complete system for free (set up by myleague) with a leaderboard and tournaments hosted within it. if anyone is interested the original thread is here: https://forums.sinsofasolarempire.com/?forumid=402&aid=173179#1423818 the idea was scrapped when we were promissed a ranking system
for all those people who think that once behind in this game, it's time to lose: https://www.sins.bz/infusions/pro_download_panel/download.php?did=94 in that game i was in a horrendous position but i stuck it out and we eventually won. there should be no quit button, i do not understand the reason it is even there tbh. the problem with quitters occurs in every MP game, however this problem disappears once ranking games are introduced. there shoul
@ Sorceresss by noobs, i mean people who leave games as soon as things look bad for them, i do not refer to their skill level at the game. @ Xerxes i kill the ai bcos it's more fun than starting up a new game and quitting again after 20 minutes and the first pirate raid forces a quitter to leave. @ Marikir there should at least be an option to play some challenge games, that end up in affecting a complete ranking, like most MP RTS' do. @ Agent we have p
There are severe problems with playing games on ICO atm. literally, 100% of the random games i have played in the last week (around 15 games) have all ended in one of 2 ways: 1. A noob quits as soon as something looks bad for him, and the teamer is left unbalanced for the rest of his team 2. A noob quits as soon as something looks bad for him, but i finish off the team of AIs for the win anyway. and then it struck me why this happens so often why wouldn't they qui
a highly pleasing game, not only the game itself, but also the fact that RaY were a part of what i believe is the first release clan vs clan battle. the game was played in the right manner, and i thank members of both clans for showing up, and playing the game in a good, competitive spirit. it was a hard game for us to play, as none of our members had ever played a 4v4 before, but we tried our best. the difference in long-term strategies was obvious as the game began to turn in
was a fun game for sure and i hope to be involved in many more with GE clan or others
hi we at RaY are interested in making clan matches a weekly / fortnightly occurance. our hope is to encourage other clans to form, so we may have clan tournaments in the future. please reply here with your decision (each game would be played 12pm EST on Sundays) *EDIT* congratz on winning the event, but RaY rarely loses twice in a row !
if you see me in the lobbies, then join my channel, or whisper to me and we can talk
ok... i'm sure we'll be fine 5pm GMT sounds fine
:o i must have put up some kind of impression to stick in your mind, i dont remember playing with you ! :P
Terms and Conditions? 1. Both teams agree to surrender all players if they feel the game is lost rather than quitting and avoiding the loss 2. Any drop is loaded from the last autosave. 3. Replay to be posted at sins.bz and on this site for all to see Game to be played on Sunday 11th February - we will decide on the numbers (eg 3v3, 4v4) later in the week Does the leader of your clan accept these terms?
can you make it so that you can rejoin games you have dropped from? not sure how the connectivity in ICO works, but with the games often lasting so long, someone will inevitably drop/crash and there should be a way of rejoining so that everyone in the game doesnt continue without you
i do agree also having watched it again that the fleet cap upgrade and early units from conan, combined with my harrasing of willburns back planets was the reason we were able to win.

A great 2v2 replay highlighting the power of military research, and that sins isn't as slow as many people claim.

However after that, i feel i many little or no mistakes considering i had the first pirate invasion, and willburn help
