Most of these changes were in the last update. They just added ALL the fixes even from previous update together.

That sucks. I took off on the 19th, it was going to be a "house empty- just me and Sins day". bummer

Stupid humans.

Thanks....Blair. btw I think I've got karpal tunnel from SINS. lol...... no seriously.....

No one?

Speaking of the TEC flak frig, shouldnt it have guns on the bottom? I sure the designer took inspiration from a PT boat, but space ships should'nt have a bottom. There are fighter's above and BELOW it.

I play single player hard only as TEC, I've never seen the ai build a superweapon. So will the ai build starbases in the new expansion? I guess the developer only knows, but does anyone have an idea and what's your experiences with the AI and superweapons?

[quote]Anyway, it would be better if mines were small and in "clouds", not few big balls. Instead of making one ovesized mine, I would suggest putting in a little cluster of five (or so) much smaller mines. Those small clusters would blow together with exactly the same effect, would be considered one object but would give it a more realistic feel to minefields, which would look like huge deadly clouds. Something like fighters - they are not one frigate-sized fighter per carrier

Go to the gamespy video of Entrenchment. 13 seconds in, two trade ships pass by a defensive mine, they are at least as big as the trade ships.

[quote who="UEF Soldier" reply="18" id="1923369"]If mines were soo tiny, it'd require a whole lot of micro to find them. It would get really dangerous if the opponent had 100+ mines, and you have a large fleet to micro. [/quote] That's the idea there mines!

Pirates playable race.

Even though piracy is really bad for pc gaming, it's lack of pc exculsives that will kill it. The average person if they have a choice will get a consule version of a game so they dont have to deal with sys requirements and such. More games like Sins and the pc would be much better off. BTW, DRM doesnt bother me as long as it doesnt tax my system, or add bs.....

If everyone thinks trade ship sized mines are correct, then its me.

Ignore the cheap f**ks.

I never build cobalts...even early game they seem to go down easy. Am I making a mistake? Is that anti-reactor ability useful?

It's the size of them, I'm troubled with....they are the size of cities. How can a mine be the same size a most of the frigates?

If they do move it should be at a snails pace, like 5 min to cross a grav well. Plus we don't know if first one is free like the caps.

I'm an idiot, wasn't thinking there, yes defensive mines. And I think you should have to zoom ALL the way in to see them. Even better if some were invisible it would bring unexpected tension to the battle. The video I have seen on Gamespy has a capital ship flying right passed the mine and it was a least as tall as the ship was.

The new mines that I've seen are huge. They should be so small that you might click ships to go to an area w/o knowing they are there. That would make mines truly dangerous, is if YOU had to scout them out. Are the mines that size for our eye benefit, or are they that big in the Sins universe?

Who would miss these mines? You probably can see them from the next planet. Please fix before release. [e digicons]o_O[/e]

A much needed defensive postion eventually becomes a middle planet once you expand. Will starbases be able to be deconstructed and moved to the new defensive postion? Plus starbaes should come with a special class of fighters, so the base does in fact cover the whole well. Only the best pilots and ships would be given a starbase assignment. Interceptors maybe....a little bigger than fighters...but smaller than flak frigs.

There should be a way to buy a Starbase and make "payments" on it....like one hundred credits a minute by a "bank" that you would have to pay off. If you over extend yourself your money would dry up.

My point is if your in a game where it could go either way - it's going to be tough to save that many credits...and leave yourself exposed in the meanwhile.

Okay not a cockpit, a bridge...where is it? Every ship should have some feel that it is full of inhabitants. So you care when they go boom, Also planets should have cities, that are destroyed when planets are bombarded.

No really......who driving this thing? And I thought the HC was ugly.
