Reply to New Vasari Starbase is a Beast in Beta Feedback Sins Forums

A combo of 150 explosive mines + 12 or so fighter squadrons + fully upgraded starbases = gravity well almost impossible to control. I had 150 mines at the verge of a grav well, where I knew the enemy fleet would arrive, and I placed my starbase at the far end of the mine field, causing all the ships to run into them. With the SC, I target the torpedo cruisers and the starbase take care of the rest. I even used this massacre to lvl 2 cap ships from lvl 1 to 6, I had them waiting behind

[Balance] Should Vasari caps get a little dmg boost? in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

Hey folks, first I'll start saying that I'm a TEC and a Vasari player, so you could say I'm a bit biased. But, after playing several games with both races, I realized that Vasari caps dmg is pretty damn low vs TEC. A lvl 10 Akkan (all average dmg combined) does around 180 dmg, while the Vasari Devastator does around 100 at lvl 10 (without power surge active). Do you guys think it's balanced? Being the most ancient race and all, I would have thought they'd have better weapons than that. Don't

[Bug] Explosions don't always appear since Entrenchment is installed in Beta Feedback Sins Forums

Hey folks, I installed Entrenchment this weekend and so far I really enjoy it! Great work guys. I wanted to know if I was the only with minor graphical problems since Entrenchment is installed. Actually, it has something to do with explosions, they only show up 50% of the time now. I can destroy a few cap ships in 30 secs and none of them will explode, their graph will just vanish, then I see the debris. It wasn't doing this before, so I wonder if anyone else noticed it. Btw, it also

Reply to What Entrenchment is Missing in Beta Feedback Sins Forums

I just wanted to add my 2 cents! While I haven't played the Beta, knowing that a Starbase doesn't have any kind of Flak turrets sounds a bit weird to me. Imagine the Deathstar without any anti-fighter guns! Or better yet, anyone here played Freespace 2? Remember what it was like bombing the Satanas Class Juggernauth? The second you were in range for bombing, a dozen flak guns (and a very big one which was a secondary objective to take out) would try to tear you to pieces... ahh good times.</p

Reply to Anti-Structure ships far to powerful! in Beta Feedback Sins Forums

well, if there's one thing Ironclad/stardock excels at, it's communication. I've never seen so much feedback coming from developpers, and it's a real pleasure to witness. Larger studios should take you guys as an example. While I didn't pre-order the expansion, I'll be getting it as soon as it's released, because so far the feedback I've seen from the devs pretty much guaranty we'll be receiving a kickass product. (I'm just not a pre-order kind of guy :P)

Reply to Ai’s use of cap ships bugged? in Beta Feedback Sins Forums

sirphoenix also brings an interesting point. That AI I was talking about in my first post had the most planets (33 vs 20 for me and 10 for the other AI), which would perhaps explain why it decided to build 16 capital ships. Give that AI less planets and we could have an entirely different story.

Reply to Ai’s use of cap ships bugged? in Beta Feedback Sins Forums

while I agree with point 3, I'm currently playing a game on a huge random map with 6 hard AIs, and one of the 2 remaining AIs built all 16 capital ships (which got their ass kicked to 7 after one of my incursion in their territory). That same AI is in second place in terms of research (just after me) but he's tailing me very closely. I think that what affects the number of cap ships built is the kind of AI the enemy is. I realized that an aggressor AI will build a lot of low level shi

[Bug] Allied AI wants to take my worlds, but poor guy, he can't. in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

I'm playing on a huge map a 4vs4 game with 7 other AIs, and one them (Hand of Ilus, Advent), keeps saying things like: You can say goodbye to [insert planet name here]!!. The thing is, that AI is my ally, and therefore he never attacks my worlds, obviously. It's no major bug, but it's pretty annoying to constantly think one computer AI is about to take one of your worlds.

Reply to Hard AI receiving unfair credit boost? in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

[quote who="Cykur" reply="4" id="1957901"]Hard AI gets a credit boost, I think it is 15 for the HW vs 10 for a normal. Unfair gets 20 for the HW. I think those are the numbers, but bottom line, YES, they get a credit boost to make them harder. Play the normal AI if you don't want this. [/quote] But is the AI as challenging? I remember destroying any opposition without much difficulty on normal settings, and even hard settings was doable, now I

Hard AI receiving unfair credit boost? in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

Hey folks, I've been playing this game for a few months now, and with patch 1.1 I had the feeling the A.I. got a lot better than before. But, there's something strange going on: on a 2vs2vs2vs2 game I've been playing in locked teams, (all on hard AI), I've been getting my ass handed to me a few times. Why? The AI can build massive fleets in only an hour (about 800 fleet points). I've been able to push the attacks back a few times, but one particular AI kept coming back with an even bigger fle

Suggestion: Give carrier cap ships more strikecrafts in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

Hello everyone, because of the upcoming patch that raises the number of SC per carrier cruisers, I think that the carrier capital ships are weakened with their rather low number of SC. Although I'm not sure of the number of SC the Advent capital ship got, I think they could get a boost, especially at low level, since the TEC/Vasari cap ship only gets 2 SC at lvl 1(which is as much as the cruiser), then 7 or 8 SC at max level. Sure, they got some weapons and some abilities, but since they are

Reply to Some observations about the AI that I think should be fixed in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

yeah I've found these same problems with my locked teams game. Whenever I get attacked on a planet that's like 5 jumps away from my fleet, and one jump away from my ally's fleet, I usually always get to defend my planet before my ally decided to move, even after telling him a BILLION OF TIMES OMG SAVE MAH PLANET. The AI is just slow, I could make 5 jumps before he could make one.

Someone else created a thread here and linked it to my own. I never said I was in beta.

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

flak added to Capital ships would be nice. It would remind me of playing Freespace 2, when attacking a capital ship meant being heavily attacked by its flak guns... ahah, it made space fighting so great.
