Does th game properly register the first weapon upgrade for the Trancencia starbase? I'm looking at it and I don't see any laser fire just, plasma fire(thought they are similar and I might be missing it), but aren't lasers blue as opposed to plasma's purple? Do the laser weapons (like the Radiance's broadside weapons) attack strikecraft like the ones on the defense vessels? Or is that specific to anit-strikecraft?

You mean how these orders would be issued? As has been stated, it would make more sense to set them outside of game under special listings and issue each listing in game from a list. And as for the part of making the game boring... well micro would still play a part. An ability like shield regen would have to be mircoed still, for effectiveness. Setting it to heal when one ships lost sheilds would be pointless and waiting for multiple ships might cause an important one to die. It still would

[quote who="unkn0wnx" reply="16" id="2111590"]Great point. Almost everything that was great about Advent was nerfed to hell. Why not nerf Missile Barrage? It is so obviously the most powerful ability in the game. Why build suicidal base when one Marza can do more every couple minutes? Besides Marza has best damage output even with out Missible Barrage.[/quote] That's actually another point I was going to make the Advent had Cleansing Briliance p

Just out of curiosity, does detonate ani-matter interrupt misslse barrage? Or is it just revierie?

I can kill a fully upgraded Vasari starbase

1. What the heck is the point of the anti-matter recharger? At first I thought it restored the anit-matter of buildings, but it doesn't seem to do that. It only affects ships. And it's so late in the tech tree, it seems much more efficient to research reactor upgrades or disciples to function as batteries, especially since those can move with the fleet. 2. I've been playing as the Advent for a while, and I enjoy them throroughly. But it seems based on the posts of others they are extr

[quote who="MindsEye" reply="14" id="2104054"]You can beat a sb with only a radiance underfire. Get one to level 6 then spam cb at the sb. Use vengeance and subs with heal + progen shield restore to keep alive.Use gaurdians too.Sb takes 200% of what it is dealing along with cb.It takes awhile but you can do it with no losses this way.Throw is sc or starfish for quicker destruction.O ya by this time you should have battleball so keep your haly near the starfish for 22% fire rate buff and keep

In Final Fantasy VII, there is something called a gambit system that specifies how characters react under certain circumstances. Since not all of us are pros and can micro every single unit in our fleet, I thought a "gambit" system of sorts could be added into the game. They could basically be orders assigned beforehand to singular units or groups of units. Here's an example; Subjugator: You could have it's highest priority objective to use suppression on a type of enemy crusier. Or a

Wait so they fixed mass disorients level up glitch, but did they fix Meteor Storms?

Is there some sort of glitch with the starfish'es targeting? It's supposed to be able to target up to five targets in rangem, but most of the time I see it only go after one or maybe two. In some cases one is hitting one,but the other is hitting two or three and they're basically right next to each other. Is this a bug, or Am I just missing something?

I've recently gotten Entrenchment and am wondering whether it's more demanding that the originial sins. On the orignial sins I got a very fluctuating FPS sometimes 90, but ended up dropping to 20 or less in intense situations. This was with everything, except for anit-aliasing maxed out. I reduced the settings to high, but it seems now things are worse.(at least on Entrenchment) My specs are 2.13 dual core, 4 gb RAM, vista, 8800 GTS. Why is this changing so drastically?

[quote who="Agent of Kharma" reply="25" id="2090248"]I think one thing that isn't being sufficiently addressed by anyone is the fact that the Advent don't get any anti-strikecraft defenses. The Vasari get a phasic trap for their hangers, and TEC get flak cannons. The Advent starbase and associated defenses are thus more vulnerable to strikecraft (the dominant force in the game, IMHO). The shield/mitigation stuff is what Advent gets for NOT getting anti-strikecraft stuff.&nbs

Well there might be another work around for me. When you purchase from Impulse it sends you an email,right? Well if my dad buys it on his computer, (using his information) then gives me the registration key and I use it will it still work?(and is it legal?). They're more concerned about using Impulse on my computer but would this work?

Is there any way to buy from Impulse without using a credit card? I really want Entrenchment but I don't have one and my parents don't want to make an online transaction.

Wow, thanks guys this is exactly what I wanted. Still one more question though, somebody on these forums mentioned the Transcendia's "Final Judgement". It sounds intimidating but what exactly does it do?

I, unfortunately won't be able to get Entrenchment for a while and while I have heard of some of the Advent's upgrades I have not seen them all. Nobody has also posted anythign on wikis so I was wondering if somebody could tell me what the Transcendia's upgrades are,what their structure upgrades are, starfish upgrades, and how mine anima work. Any screenshots would be nice as well.

I agree, especially about the final countdown timer. It's extremely irritating to be outbid my somebody you know you could outbid just because of luck.

Interesting that's all you need to counter the Marza's missle barrage? What about if you threw a Rapture into the mix with Vengenace? Wouldn't that almost kill the Marz? Or am I missing something?

The previews on all of the entrenchment units haven't been as complete as I'd like, but from what I understand, Advent mine sare deployed by anima right, which are technically strikecraft. So does that mean the mines they lay are affected by the Rapture's concentration aura?(Meaning with a 30% boost Advent mines would do over 1k damage). Or are they exempt from the bonus?

I've recently started playing Sins again after a while(since a bunch of my friends got it) and play as the Advent. I'm curious as to what's changed because of patches, what and Advent fleet composition should compose of at this point. Are disciples any good with their battery effect now? Is there any point to Crusaders with Repulse or did it's channelign reduce its effectiveness, etc. Also, are there an good Advent ability combos that hanve't been nerfed yet?Thanks in advance.&nbs

Just out of curiosity, how are you supposed to counter something like that?

I'm excited for Entrenchment, but because it's an online retailer I wasn't able to participate in the beta, nor will I be able to download it tommorow. I've been searching on youtube and the one thing I wanted to see was the new Advent stuff(I play as them). If anybody has the beta, would it be too much trouble to post videos of the Advent starbase, mines, hangar upgrades, beam defense upgrades, and adjucator? I have some friends who play Vasari and they would also like to see the Vasari coun

So wait is the beta out? I can't tell some of these people are acting like it is out and some aren't.

Okay yeah there was on more question I had, but forgot to mention. Do the Advent's anti-matter rechargers recharge only ships? Or can they recharge orbital structures as well.

Okay I just got Sins of a Solar Empire and already I've come to like the Advent out of all the other fleets, but I have some questions. 1.What are some early game strategies for the Advent? I heard they have a really weak early game 2. If you are trying to use cultural warfare, and you have allies nearby, will they be negatively affected by your culture? 3. If you have an Iconus protecting your fleet, and you are being bombarded by phase missles, do the phase missles h
