I have a tactical question. How can i counter a Dominion attack in early game with the federation? The Dominion capital ship easily destroyed my Ambassador and 6 Miranda class vessels on its own. Luckily some Borg came by to destroy the dominion ship but were unable to bombard the Planet afterwards :-) Still counting on Borg is maybe not the wisest choice. Thx.

Hi, sometimes i create, just for fun, some Models of spaceships with a friend. Now another friend asked if i could put them in Sins. There was once a toturial how to do that but the link is not working anymore ( https://forums.sinsofasolarempire.com/318314 ) I use Z-Brush to create the models which opens another question. How many Polygons are a good Number for a big capital ship (As Z-Brush Models tend to have a lo

I like the USA... mostly. But still i can see where the prejudices against them are coming from. I was in America several times in different places and i encountered a lot of issues mentioned in the list. 1. If someone in my hometown suggests to go to a supermarket ,1 km away on a sunny day, by car... well i woud think he is joking. In Ohio that seems to be normal. Even better is when they go to a sport center by car :-/ 2. Many pepole are incedible ignorant. Sometimes it is f

Hmm, when i saw the Zerg first i thought of bees, with all this working-drones and breed-to-fighters stuff. I never realized how sexist bees are.

[quote who="Cork2" reply="6" id="2320481"] I would also like to be able to destroy planets. I see some useless planets I would like to just send in a ship to blew it up and then harvest the debris for resources. or it can be used against your enemies [/quote] Blowing up a planet? Very diplomatic. Was Emperor Palpatine your teacher?

Adding a new tech is quite a lot of work if you want to do it properly. Lets start with the shipyards(e.g. PLANETMODULE_PHASEORBITALCAPITALSHIPFACTORY.entity): Just add the bold part to the file. As you already have a Cap factory when you select quick start it is not working then. If it is supposed to work for quick start as well you have to add this prerequesite to every Capship, too.

The best way to understand the mechanism is to look at the existing ones. First, how do you change an ability that targets a single ship to an AoE? For that have a look at the Ability "Cease Fire". It consists of three files: AbilityCeaseFire.entity If you want to use this ability you just have to add this name to the bluebprint of the unit. It determines things like Anitmatter-cost and Cooldown-rate

I want to see some real diplomacy upgrades. Right now an Alliance basically means we cannot attack each other for a few seconds. I want to see real advantages: Trade: Trades don't care about war. They will trade with anyone of any species. You should be able to boost the trade by signing contracts and to lower the trade with embargoes against common enemies. Trade ships should be divided into 2 groups. Neutral freelancers that cannot be attacked by anyone but pirates and national trad

Not only SP. How many "who can survive the longest" or Koop-Maps are there for Warcraft 3. To be honest that was the reason i bought WC3 after i played it a few times on LANs.

I read another number in "Bild der Wissenschaft" a few Years ago. There they said they would need 1 Million € to obersorve 1 Angleminute in a way that they would detect a dangerous object 1-2 Years ahead. So that would mean they need at least 60*180= 108 Million to cover the sky.. not too bad...

Most games i know handle small lags(If the other PC is not responding in the appropiate time it is basically the same like a internet lag) like the last part you described so its quite possible. Basically i only know Supreme Commander not to freeze(But to slow down for all players. May be you should try small maps with small fleets...
