Ok I've read that the cost of a starbase will be 5x that of a cap ship. If your doing that well economically, would just 5 cap ships be better or as good? Plus the caps can be moved anywhere....Anyone know whether the first starbase is free like the caps. Btw game is making me sleepless.
For such a great game the available wallpapers..is horrible. Anyone have any decent 1680x1050 widescreen wallpaper?
I was thinking the other day....imagine if a cap/starbase power would be able to warp a enemy ship anywhere in the system. If an attack comes at you with a single cap fleet, warping the ship out of the grav zone would leave the fleet without a leader.
Is there a cockpit on this thing? I don't see one, or is it robotic?
Suggestion.
These (starbases)will only be affordable in large games. If you play small maps forget it. How sad is it that I'm looking forward to this release more than having sex with wife. [e digicons]:\[/e]
So the answer would be to have a closed hanger bay., so you would not need the ships in a building phase ...just a door opens...and ships "move out".
There has to be a better way to show how ships or structures are built. The magic beam doesnt do it for me. Even if a ship could be created that way....when did the crew get on? Maybe a closed hanger bay, so doors could open a out comes ships. And bases could appear in chunks to replacate building.
Would'nt there be a file somewhere with ship/planet names? If you could edit this, that would be the solution.
Anyone have a guess as to what these will look like? I hope they are not just Mil/Civ bases with guns........
Maybe the new starbases will have a new class of fighters...a interceptors that are extremely deadly, maybe they would shoot a slower moving Cap ship killing missle that would have to be independently manually targeted.
I think it would be great if when you clicked on a ship it would give a verbal response relative to their condition. If for instance a ship was getting slaughtered, they would shout " engines failing" "hull breach" or something like that. The first time I played COH and one of the unit's in the middle of a battle yelled " what the f...k do you want!!!?" I almost spit out my drink.....just an idea.
I havent played with it....if it's not broken........
I've posted before, for some reason 1680x1050 is listed TWICE in my resolution choices!
I LOVE CAMPAIGNS....but I feel that if SINS had a campaign, I would have played thru it once and but it away.( Don't play online). Like I did with Company of Hero's, great game BTW. With skirmishes every game can have its own scenrio. It's own story. Anyone else feel this way?
Why are there no decent wallpapers for this game? Even the one the DEVS put out were dull....anyone ?
I'm a PC player for years..but if PC's don't retain some exculsives all we will be playing is ports. Even with improved graphics, we will have to wait till the mighty port gods decide to uh...port. Plus if you look there's more GAMES alvailable to consoles. Nvidia and AMI should have their own development teams, if they plan on selling anymore hardware. If any console comes out with a keyboard and mouse = PC dead.
First, anyone know how to get rid of my fleets icon in the middle of the ship when I zoom in, even with cinema mode on? Also I'm too dumb to figure out what pinning in the screen bar does.
It really depends on whether or not your playing single or multi player. I've never played multi player, so I couldn't tell you anything about that. I only play single....with Vasari do you also have to take out phase gates so they can't use RA?
In order to make a battle easier,which ships are the biggest threat, and should be taken out? 1. 2. 3.
I have to admit, I thought perfomance with new graphics and beta would take a hit, but I 'm happy to say that SINS looks better and runs SMOOTHER than it did before the patch. I used to be afraid of running multiple star games for this reason, but I ran a 4 star system game last night and it runs better now.
Thats my native resolution also, and in graphic settings 1680x1050 is listed [B]twice[/B], both with the same mhz settings.
:CONGRAT:
Yeah, unchecked team colors give you your colors.(should'nt it be the other way)
You know whats weird...been playing games my whole life, I just don't see the point in mods..I play the games the way they were designed then I move on. There are to many great games out there to play then to squeeze every last drop out of a title. I'll play 1.1 when it comes out, but then I know the game has been given an offical once over by the people that created it. Plus then I know there will be no conflicts, and I like to keep my machine lean and mean. :)
