****Posted in "Is Starting Position ever going to be addressed"**** but due to size of this post and images, I made it an entirely new post. I would like this: This allows designated start points, starting resources, civil/military starting tech level and maximum tech level researched, fleet (capital and capacity) start and maximum level that can be researched.

if you are allied with an AI('s) and kill off all the other AI's, then you win. If you wish to continue playing, you might soon find your ally breaking all the agreements and at war with you.

What is a "Scenario Template" and how can I use it? How can I create a fleet of ships for AI's when the AI starts with the planet? say I want "player3" which owns "planet43" (a desert planet) to start with 2 capitals, 12 frigs, and 4 cruiser of a particular tech/race? How can I designate player start points? not just assigning planets to player0 or 1/2/3/4/etc... I want particular players to start in particular places.

If SINS turns into what EVE-Online is now (Cap Fleets Online), it's truly very sad. 2-3 squads per frig carrier is a bit much for a frig. Advent drone hosts are annoying enough as is without each having 3 squads.

I thought the "Salvage" was what you gleened after battle from destroyed enemies...

I have built a map that is campaignesque using DEADLY FORGE and playable with 7 DEADLY SINS by Danman (yes, I am Danman's Fanboi -love their work). Player starts as a Rogue (gotta read the readme for what to do to play it properly) with their home planet being an asteroid and a nearby AI empire -one of the empires that dispossessed you. For the map to be proper campaign, I need to at least be able to designate player start points, which player is player0/1/2/3/4 so they start with lowe

yup, campaign is needed. it gives players something to do after being spammed by "X" and holds their interest -if the campaign is worth it's salt. Give the community a campaign editor and let us tell the damn story.

[quote]Am i the only one thinking this:Cut and run. At this point you're bleeding development time for a game that already has a dead online multiplayer. Invest in Sins of A Solar Empire 2, instead of trying to stiffle the bleeding that is SoaSE1.The game was awesomely enjoyable, and now all i can think is..."Sins 2?"I kind of agree here.Haven't played in a while so I actually don't know what the situation looks like, but obvious MP changes like the subverter nerf or the RA redesign would have b

Please, for the love of kittens! FIXES NEEDED: Allow us to designate player start points! -in sins and in galaxy forge. random placement at all times isn't the best and tbph sucks for map designers with vision. Allow credit/crystal/metal start editing from within SINS + ability to override map defaults. Allow starting civil/military labs or tech level. Allow exclusion of tech. Easily set planet sizes or range of diameter. (galaxy forge)

Boba... good luck, this will cause a lot of performance issues. I did a full Freelancer [EliteUK] map with 1 Rogue Star + average of 3 "Planets" to make a "Solar System"... well, handling 62 Rogue Stars + 420 "Planet(oids)" requires a computer much better than my AMD 3800+ dual core, 2 gb ram, GeForce 7950 GT (256mb). Try 1 star per "Cluster" so you have about 5-6 stars. This might be less of a strain and will certainly make travel time easier. So does adding lots of wormholes -if yo

I would like "global activation" of abilities when I activate an ability in a stack of 10 ships -like the afterburner on 10 kodiaks activating when I click the Q. Curved pathing please. These ships have very limited manueverability in a Shift/click path. Include most of 7 Deadly Sins :LOL:

Get 7 Deadly Sins by Danman. Rouge race can capture enemy frigs/cruisers/structures, but lack their own colony ship so you must capture one. They are a tough start race, however the capture cruisers can be built without research -you just have to use the race right.

guess we'll ask for a campaign in SINS 2.0

BlackMage11... Victory conditions would imply something vaguely resembling a campaign... That is a big no-no. Didn't I forward you the 10k+ hate spams I got when I asked "WTF is the campaign" and got troll-raged.

How about some word on a campaign or at least a campaign editor? SINS is glitzy, shiny and nice, but boring as... well... it's made for MP and lacking time for MP gaming leaves one stuck with SP gaming. I'll reinstall SINS when it has a campaign.

you get negative karma for being ticked at absolutely no campaign, griping about boring map after boring map because even though you can design a massive 547 planet(oid) map based around 32 Rogue Stars with numerous wormholes, pirate bases, numerous npc factions, etc... There are no events other than random AI missions to destroy other AI stuff or give stuff to them and the ever annoying pirate raids that damn near everyone turns off -apparently that part works just fine. Yes, I have an

I wish I had the talent to contribute, I'll just have to play the hell out of it until my HD/Gfx burn out :LOL:

9 remote repping BS's... Spider Tanking in SINS??? Dude must be a TRI player from eve, they are damn good at that. OMG... I got a +1 Karma. /shocked. ATLAS members in EVE would be so shocked. lolz

to the research deployment... Why don't the ships cost more? I don't mind the globalized upgrading issue, it's the cost. Actually, I do mind the sudden upgrading of deployed fleets. How does a kodiak in the field suddenly get a speed booster or armor/shield increase? Deployed ships should stay at the tech level they rolled out as or at least put in the ability to send it for upgrades for a certain amount of credits/crystal/metal -or maybe a logistics cruiser (battleship stats/cost, but cruis

If you want more lag, make planetary clusters orbit suns/rogue stars, moons/belts/anomalies/etc... orbit planets, and planetary structures that orbit planets/moons. The game will constantly be updating phase lanes or jump coordinates (assuming a free movement system comes to SINS). Take it from CCP -designers of EVE ONLINE- Newtonian Physics are overrated. But I would like to see ships moving DURING combat -just a little so I don't get sleepy; yet not so much that people vomit while playin

Campaign and Campaign Editor are a must for SINS. Locked Player Start Positions!!! These are absolutely needed for those of us who want to create campaignesque maps. Battle Stations: Oh yeah. The turrets are orbital batteries, not ship mounted pew-pew BB cannons, that should rip frigs/cruisers they hit and put a bit of fear into solo capitals -range increase is a must. Build in Anti-Fighter/bomber smartbombs/area affect and they will be worth using. The battle station s

Go locked teams and in a 1h vs 3ai only go with 1-2 hard and 1 norm -3ai in hard mode is a tough nut to crack as they seem to spam fleets with ease out of nowhere. Also, I think the AI cheats. I've seen caps with no shields and miniscule hull/armor suddenly boost themself to 800 shields and phase away -they were solo and boosted X-( In the words of the great Admiral Ackbar, "We've got to give those fighters more time, concentrate all fire on that Super Star Destroyer"<b

I'll tell Georgie to not attack if the OP tells the Iranian Pres to stop funding terrorists, stop threatening Israel with utter annihilation, and stops encouraging terrorists in Iraq to blow up dozens of Iraqi children in suicide bombings. Sound Good? /stares at the red phone next to the blue pizza hut hotline.
