Well thats encouraging to hear!

Well, do you have Rebellion? Does the AI flee at the merest threat of engaging in a fair fight, or do they only engage when they have a virtually guaranteed victory?

I haven't played Sins since Enthrenchment came out. I might get Rebellion, but I gotta know: is the AI still such a huge wuss? In Entrenchment the AI would run from virtually any fight unless they had 2x your ships. It was frustrating and boring to jump to an enemy planet with a large defending fleet and watch them flee from you and let the planet fall, one after another. Is the AI more aggressive? More assertive? More brave?

I havent played in a while, but with Diplomacy being released I was tempted to buy it and relive the glory day s of old. One thing kept me back: The pathetic tenancy of the AI to run away like a little girl any time the prospect of a moderate fight looked imminent. Does the AI updates in Diplomacy address this?

D'OH! I had the wrong version of the mod installed. Nevermind!

In my experiance Assailants mop the floor with Illums 6 ways to sunday. This is because Illums may deal more damage, but its split up. The front laser does 50% and each of the side lasers do 25% of the total. Assailants' 5% phase missile upgrades are equal to a 8% increase in firepower, so at 30% phase and +20% damage upgrades the Assalants deal +58% damage. Combined with more total health and the ability to fire before the Illums even get into range... Yeah, they dont stand a chance. Espical

[quote who="JuleTron" reply="5" id="2201028"] I think it's 100% for level 1 and 200% for level 2. How does Frontal Deflector Shield reduce damage by 200%? Wouldn't the StarBase gain health by being attacked? Probobly a stupid question.[/quote]100% reduction means it takes half damage and 200% means it takes 1/4 damage. Sins is silly like that

So it DOES heal more for each piece of debris! That really is useful to know, thanks

Agreed, I use only 1 of each. The +20% damage upgrade is tempting but it reduces longevity too much. Now I just want to know how much Debris Vortex heals for

What do the different levels do? Does Debris Vortex heal more with more debris? Does level 2 heal you more? I assume so but there is nothing in the game that says so and the ENTITY files are just a jumble of characters. How much damage does the deflector shield absorb at levels 1 and 2? Does anyone know? Thanks

Whens the next release, Bailknight? The Enforcer bug is annoying

no

Turn autocast off with it. Otherwise its useless. With max AM upgrades and max Phasic Cloaking researched you can keep your navigator alive a long time, but its main strong point is the ability to park it next to a star and never run out of AM.

The first one only applies to your scuttled units, the second applies to ALL orbital structures and capital ships that go boom.

You will want to get a video card, none of those have one

[quote who="rand1221" reply="6" id="2005310"] Sorry for taking so long to get back and thanks for the tip!.. Your advice to update my driver was the answer to the problem. I really don't know computers that well but it's obvious that if I want to get into PC gaming I'm gonna learn. What a trip, I just have one more question. With all the infomation I got from the Windows help menu and the Intel web site in regards to my driver during the download I still don't understand

yeah a 100% decrase is halving it.

Ive noticed this too. Send a replay to [email protected]

If you do the above method say good bye to multiplayer, even on LAN

I heard tell that they're off till the 5th. Better make a new account

[quote who="Ackerman74" reply="6" id="1997302"]When does the rest of the story come out?[/quote]Hopefully soon. WitchFire's had a long time for this installment so I suspect it will be epic.

See if you can find a replay and send it to [email protected].

[quote who="Howdidudothat" reply="24" id="1991127"] I agree. In no forum anywhere I've been to have I seen such lax moderators. Actually, if you can just bar about 3 people from thread, this thread would be about 6 pages long. The biggest problem is the lack of ability for the OP to moderate the threads.[/quote]Yeah, if this was my thread, I wouldnt stand for this... I dont get why the mods or WitchFire dont do anything when they hijack a thread like this.

The AI calculates it will be faster to go to another planet instead of going through the stabilizer. Try researching the speed upgrades, I've not had this problem and I bet its becasuse I always upgrade the phase jump speed thingey for them.
