[quote who="Annatar11" reply="14" id="2067404"]The advantage of the TEC is also that you can build your minefields without needing a cruiser to do it! Even with no starbases, I have no issues with defense since I knew which direction they'd be coming from and just mined the hell out of it. The AI, at least in 2.5, just never really bothered to mine sweep.[/quote] You sir are correct, I didn't even think about mines. Good call =p

[quote who="Annatar11" reply="12" id="2067380"]Great recap. I had the same setup with AIs and such, only I did TEC. I still think TEC is easier, once you get 3+ Marzas to level 6, you never have a real fight. Everything just dies in 5 seconds [/quote] I will agree with you that 3 or more Marzas at level 6 is surely a win against any force. During my battle with the AI, I eventually came upon to war fronts against pink and green, and both were hitting me at two different planet

Just did this achievement the other day along with 'Actually, Hal, I can do that' (4 AI opponents on Hard or greater) The 4 AI I played against were all set to Unfair. We were all on seperate teams with the teams locked. I played on a large single star map, as a Vasari player. Starting out the first thing I did was recycle my frigate factory and built a cap factory. 1st cap ship I buillt was an egg and sent it to the nearest astroid. I we

[quote who="Zanosan" reply="18" id="2049576"] Wait a minute. from your post sounds like your own ships don't get hit by the cannon effects? I thought everyone gets hit. Is this also true for your allies ships too? [/quote] As far as I know, the cannons have never affected your ships or allies ships. Just got done playing a Beta 2.5 game with the AI, I warped my entire fleet into the AI's home planet. The AI responded by sending his f

[quote who="-Ue_Carbon" reply="3" id="2047535"]Its to make sure they are wasting their time with a pirate. You should of sent it. Since SINS has no DRM they have to be able to check if you legit.[/quote] That does make a little sense. I sent another mini dump from the beta 2.5 along with my key and dxdiag this time.

I find it odd that after sending a mini-dump to [email protected], I receive an auto-reply that among other things, they ask for my cd-key... Anyone else find that kind of strange? I think this would be the first time an actual legit company has ever asked me for my cd-key. In case anyone was wondering, no I didn't reply with my cd-key heh...

Yes you can. It just takes an incredibly long time for the projectiles to reach their destination ( anywhere from 10-15 mins on some of the maps I've played on). Hope this helps

First off my strategy viewpoint is playing with friends against hard/unfair AI. 1. Build 3 scout frigates and send them off into the unknown. After the 3 scouts are done build around 5-10 light frigates to escort your akkan or marza 2. Build cap factory > Akkan (I love armistice to much to give it up) > Marza has a really nice lvl 6 ability but it is to easily counted by the AI. 3. Build extractors 4. Build 2 civ labs and research volcanic or ice planets becau

[quote]I dont understand what all the fuss is about in here really. Just join a game set up for ffa at the start with unlocked teams. For example in an 8 player map with 2 stars, ask in chat who is in the same star as you and ally with them. Its the best option we have until this is "fixed".[/quote] Interesting Idea. Now I just need to convince the 3 AI on my side to join my team so I can do battle with my buddies and their AI on the other side =p. I'm sure what you suggested

Bump for great fixed spawn justice! Almost all RTS games have an option for fixed or random spawn points. Please Devs, include this option into your game.
