Reply to planetary defense.....defense platforms or hangars?? in Strategy Sins Forums

I am trying to avoid using static defences anymore. the only plantets getting them are ones that are gonna be hit by pirates. I will usually wait until after the first two pirate raids even to build the static defences just so I know for sure the pirates are going to be at least a little bit consistent before I drop the resources. I much prefer one roaving fleet of a cap, with some long range frigates and a few carriers. Now mind you all this is from 1.1 beta now since I dont play 1.05

Reply to Sin of a Solar Empire vs Star Wars Empire at war in Strategy Sins Forums

I love sins, the starwars one I couldnt get into. I have it and the expansion but I bet I havent logged more then 20 hours playing it. It just felt, off and awkward to me. Perhaps I am a bit too much of a traditionalist on RTS's. Mind you I did love the space battles, its the land battles that needed serious work.

Reply to Flak--Can it still do the job? in Beta Feedback Sins Forums

[quote]If you play as a race other than the advent, you can all but forget about bombers. The advent simply put too many SC in the field of play. One sure fire way to kill mounds of Advent SC is with a few TEC caps. 1. Get a Dunov and a Kol to lvl 6. Get Flak burst to at least lvl two and get finest hour and flux field.2. Find Advent carrier fleet.3. When SC approach hit the flux field (reduces ability AM cost) then finest hour (reduces ability cooldown time, AM regeneration, and AM cost even mo

Reply to Carriers are too powerful in Beta Feedback Sins Forums

I am starting to agree with you guys on this. It wasnt a big deal when I was messing around on 2-3 player maps for fast games. But once you start playing 4-8 player maps the advent carrier start becoming godlike imo. I see them and die a little inside knowing that things are about to get nasty. And I have carriers of my own. I am fast teching 3 military just for missle frigs, and carriers. The downside is I fall a bit behind econimcally and on military researchs as I start pumping out frigs and

I dunno, the more I play the more I hate hate hate hate the advent ones. They are such a pain in the ass. Its not that they cant be destroyed, its that while yoru destroying them the fighters/bombers and disciples are laying waste to your back ranks since it takes a long time to kill them in the fairly early game. (even with carriers of my own going 2 to 1 fighter/bomber ratios)

Reply to [MAP] The Rule of Man in Sins Modding Sins Forums

[quote]• Even though it is a large map it appears under the small map selection. I do not know why this happens. [/quote] Its because of the number of players, thats what determines the "Map size" 2-3 is small, 3-7 is medium, 8 or more is large. Might be off on the medium one might go to only 6 but I think its 7. Regardless you get the idea.

Reply to Tutorial "basic gameplay" breaks in Beta Feedback Sins Forums

yeah Patch your game this was fixed ages ago. This is the beta feedback forum for patch 1.1 that is currently being publicly beta tested. Try a few games in 1.05 before/IF you decide to update to the beta. The reason I say that is in the Current Beta Version of the patch we are testing the Tutorial gets broken in it also. I am sure it will be fixed by the time the patch comes live. But why go through that headache while your learning eh?

interestingly enough I hadnt played as the Vasari in beta yet till today. (I random what race I play) So now I have a slightly different perspective on the drone carriers. What was easy to defeat with the TEC (now I am guessing a large part of that ease was due to the aoe damage to strike crafts) I was unprepared for drone carriers as Vasari and quite frankly had 2 fleets destroyed by them. Sure I took out their capitals and a good portion of the drone carriers. But with no carriers of my own ti

[quote]Also, more annoyingly, I had 16 Kodiacks chasing said cariers across 3 gravity wells and the combo of 3000 hp/shield the advent carriers have is way too much.

Reply to Instruction Manual ? in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

on a side note now that this thread has been resurrected from the dead. My sins game came with a manual that was falling apart. =( I had to print and bind the pdf manual because all the pages (quite literally) in mine werent glued properly and came out the first time the manual was opened. I was mildly furious as I expect quality from that kinda thing. But got over it quickly once sins was installed and I was playing. Still annoys me a little to this day though that I

Reply to more effective scouting in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

[quote]I upped the shields and hull of scouts to make them take a lot more punishment, and upped their speed so they are not so vulnerable. Scouting is basically a suicide mission in Sims. But by making them stronger and faster, they at least get more scouting done before they finally die from not being able to regenerate.What I'd like to see is that when a scout reaches a planet thats empty or allied, it stops to recharge shields and fix the hull, before it continues on its scouting mission.
