All balancing should be single player against the CPU. Let you multiplayers fight amongst your selves.

Your opponent should have a couple of level 7 or higher capitals before Titans start to emerge. As it stands now just forgo any capitals and frigates..go straight to Titan and THEN start to reinforce with frigates and caps.
I think their only real role was a selling point.
Great and Ironclad is busy with their game....seems like the whole Sins game is going to have to be rethought rebalanced.
I hope they aren't taking a gem of a game and trying to make it a thirty minute smash up. I also hope they didn't open a ai pandoras box by splitting a tried and true three ai's and split them into 6 wonky ai's. It would have been smarter just to give each race a later staged Titan( 8 military labs) and create a fourth race.
Maybe ship sizes in general have been scaled down so that the wells appear bigger? Just a guess... I've also noticed (as others have) that you can't seem to zoom to the ships as before... is this just an effect that the ships themselves are smaller and not a zoom issue?
Corvettes also fly funny, making sharp odd turns. Didn't notice they had the fly through everything s/c issue. Why would I build these? Bad enough most frigates are fodder. Titans need to be put further down in the tech tree...like most mods requiring eight military labs for the uber ships.
People have to realize that there are games on Steam that you just can't find anywhere else, all in one package. Now if Valve(Steam owner) would stop jerking around and give us some incite on a HL2 ep 3, that would help.
It's really the thieves who copy and download the games that we love, you guys should direct your anger towards. And if anyone every obtained a illegal version of ANY game in their lives, you can't bitch about companies trying to protect their investment.
Quick notes: Corvettes seem to fly funny. Titans imho appear to early game. Only four military lab requirement? People will just rush to Titans. I know there is a thought that people want a quicker game, but again forsaking the majority of us single players, for the click-fest that is multiplayer. Moons have a tear in their graphic. More notes..after Friday night's game.
How many Steam complainers are installing it now?
Quick question: Did they increase well sizes, or scale down the ships to make room for the bigger ships?

Lore is something I don't bother with. The advantage of a skirmish game is every game can have a different story. Sides can switch, good guys can be bad guys......
[quote who="sporemaster" reply="186" id="3094244"]What i dont understand is.... why are ALL the ship protecting neutral colonies are TEC ship? Why not advent and vassari? Mix it up a bit.[/quote] Real reason...cost. You have to pay someone to make new ship designs.
The Advent carrier is the silliest looking ship in game. imho. The main reason I gravitated to Mods was I started to hate the vanilla Sins models.
You did extrac t the mod using 7 zip into the mod folder?
I will have to play against a unfair Vong to see that world ship ......
You don't have to love the pizzaguy,...just the pie! [e digicons]:d[/e] I'm more concerned that Stardock has three games coming out it seems at the same time..FE, Rebellion, and Ironclads game. Is there enough company to handle all three at once?
There will never be ANYTHING everyone likes....so as long as we keep that in mind..... So..... so long crybabies... [e digicons]X([/e] Sins will sell thousands of copies not possible without Steam...Steamworks integration is probably a deal to get ON Steam. I play single player so I'm not intersted in the mutiplayer benefits. But the over the top hatred is strange. Just think of what Google is doing to your info as you read this
I'll be honest and say I don't understand this business model at all. Invest millions in development on a pay as you go trinket game? What does free as you play gaming say to the consumer? "Hey give us a try cause we know you wouldnt buy it otherwise"? [quote who="GoaFan77" reply="1" id="3090545"]Also I wouldn't be surprised if part of the reason for not making Sins 2 straight away is to let the technology catch up a bit to their plans. Once everyone has 64 b
Maybe instead of just a tech upgrade to jump to other stars, astructure has to be be built around your star to jump to others. It is Sins of a SOLAR Empire after all .:)
Anyone know if they changed the scale of the ships? With the increase in size that Titans bring, scaling the ships down to half size would give all the ships more elbow room.
I just upgraded to Win 7 and haven't experimented , but I used to regularly shut Steam down as a background program in Task Manager with XP all the time. And continued whatever game I was playing. And for those paranoid with what Steam is watching....I would be a lot more leary of your cell phone.....
you guys realize bionic is 18 and still lives at home? why waste your time...he obviously has lots.
