[quote who="ice27828" reply="7" id="3113976"]Does the shield really work? I always thought they block only planetary bombardment by ships only. So I guess having more planets can just easily deflecting attacks from your planets. Although keeping scout ships from reaching any of your planets is a good idea also.[/quote] Yea, shields do work very well against Novalith. Maybe the Novalith damage effect should be a long term effect, like it slowly burns off a planet, instead of ki

[quote who="Preator6" reply="16" id="3110904"]Am I seriously the only one who has found a VERY effective counter to the nova-spam? A shield generator on each of your planets pretty much makes the novalith useless (unless they fire 10 at one asteroid, which they won't)[/quote] Then, how would you counter it if you are Vasari or Advent? Both races dont have planetary shields and axillary government. Also, countering a Nova spam isnt that fun to begin with. That, i

I still think moon needs a bit more differences from asteroid. They seem to be designed to fit quite well between planets and asteroid.

I think the problem that we are facing now could be solved by slow down the teching and defence build up in the AI script, while ramp up the ships production a bit. In my opinion, the AI should have a balance between defence, teching and ship building. The AI should constantly building up fleets, as a mobile force will do much better at defence than a few "stationary" Starbases. Also, i do think that the AI should only build Starbase at chokes, at

The problem with the AI, as far as i know, the AI tend to lay back and tech up to the best tech like Titan, Novalith, Insurgence, Kodiak and so on before they amass a large fleet to attack you, which cost a lot of money too. So, if you are the kind of player who prefer to attack early, which fit rebel's style, you pretty much have an upper hand until Novalith and Insurgence comes. Then, you might have problems holding off your own planets.

[quote who="Dorakiura" reply="21" id="3111169"] Quoting Cheesenium, reply 7 I do agree on this, as a defensive Rebel is useless. The AI should be tailored to each subfaction as they play very distinctively different now. I feel that they need to attack more though and they defend too much now. Nova cannon spam is quite annoying. I completely agree that the AI should be tailored to fit the factions. However, it shouldn't just say "I'm a

[quote who="lbgsloan" reply="9" id="3109701"]Just played a game where a defensive AI had nearly 0 normal ships, but built a titan and like 8 cap ships. It was hilarious, but not exactly an effective strategy since there's minimal DPS output.[/quote] I think thats a pretty serious problem as they do not attack at all. Just sit there and build lots of Nova Cannon and defence. It isnt fun playing against them.

[quote who="lbgsloan" reply="5" id="3109289"] Quoting martox1, reply 1what lvl ai r u playing? it might explain y its seems of easy i play again cruel and its harder then it was before the patch I generally leave it on Unfair. While the AI will never be as good as a Human player, you shouldn't have to play on mega-cheating levels for it to handle basics. I'm not doing anything crazy, and yet even with a small resource advantage from Unfair it's failing hard a

I'll probably branch into TEC Rebels. Their play style fits me like a pair of comfortable gloves.

To be honest, i dont really like the AI for spamming LRMs only. Maybe throw in a couple more variety of ships like frigates, carriers and cap ships. Shouldnt combined arms be encouraged in this game? Playing against the whole bunch of LRMs isnt really fun. I am aware that LRM spam is a pretty commonly used tactic in MP, but i think something has to be done to encourage combined arms.

Hopefully the AI bug will be fixed soon. I cant play the Beta without a functional AI. All it does now is build lots of mines and defence, with no army at all. Even if they have, all they have is a small swarm of LRMs. I do hope they'll have different build order in the full game. Sometimes they'll go for full LRM spam, sometimes they use more Carriers, or a more balanced army at times. That will make the game much more interesting.

Thanks. This mod is awesome. Sins looks damn nice now.

Thanks,im gonna give Distant Stars a shot too.

[quote who="chris0101" reply="6" id="2411490"]There's Bailknight's Graphic Mod: https://forums.sinsofasolarempire.com/301418/page/1/#replies [/quote] Doesnt seem like updated to 1.03 to me. Man,i hope it will get updated as soon as possible. Cant wait to try this mod.

Is this mod compatible with the latest Entrenchment?

Is there any good graphics upgrade mod? I just want to upgrade the graphics of this game.

Thanks.

Damn tempted to get this.

The trailer looks good.Cant wait for it. [e digicons]:grin:[/e]

Thanks. Just got Entrenchment too.The new Hard AI rapes.

[quote who="InfiniteVoid" reply="3" id="2007577"]Culture also has the useful benefit of granting your ships bonuses.[/quote] Damn true.

Congrats guys. Cant wait for the retail copy of the expansions.

Thanks for the update. My Sins is running with 1.1 now.

Nice,good job,Iron Clad.

No,it sounds horrible.Sorry to say this. It just make any sort of balance done instantly pointless and further ruining the multiplayer scene.
