That's an ouch right there. But a compliment none the less buried in the insult. :) When I started out playing CnC I was a big n00b, but now I can beat all of my friends without even trying. Hopefully I'll get that way with Sins, considering I think it's several times better than Generals. Thanks again for all the help.
Ok, well I upgraded all my planets, and my fleet capacity, so I was getting about 10 credits per sec, and I had a good 40 ships out there. I captured all but two planets (one was in the process of being bombed by one of my capital ships, and the other was waiting for the colonizer), when I decided to attack the pirate planet to beat the scenario. All of a sudden the game just quit out, and I hadn't saved for quite a while. Whatever, I'll re-finish a little later, but thanks for all the help..
How many times must you upgrade the infrastructure for it to stop taxing you, and for the planet to start bringing in money?
Okay, gotcha, I'll keep trying. Unfortunately I don't have much time during the week to play Sins (insane amounts of homework), but I have some free time ocassionaly to play some games. By the way, on another forum I am on there's a way to 'subscribe' to a thread so that you get alerted whenever someone comments on it. Can I do it on this forum?
[quote who="Bapperus" reply="21" id="1869578"]thats the pirate base, it will still be on the map even if the pirates are off, it just wont launch raids. Upgrade your fleet capacity on the 3rd research screen, above artifacts tab. Thers two types on this screen, one for overall fleet capacity (this one eats a set % of economy) and one to allow more capital ships. Plus look at the top of the main screen where you see gold/metal/crystal income, just to the left you'll see two numbers
I turned Pirates inactive, but as I was exploring planets, I came across one that had an obscene fleet of pirate ships that killed my navigator before I could even Phase jump away. Crazyness. How do I increase fleet capacity?
I would move on to the next planet, but I don't have enough ships to leave a good defense. I just don't have enough slots. The capital ship was hitting the planet with this odd red beam...any idea what that is?
I haven't played much outside of Vasari, but I really like the Carrier. It's really useful when it unloads about 5 squads of bombers on a fleet of cobalts. Plus, as someone else mentioned, it has the ability to repair other ships around it.
Okay, just played through half a match, following your instructions completely and it was amazing. This game beats any match I've played in any Command and Conquer game. Credits, crystal, and metal were no problem. I had about 23000 credits, last I checked. The only thing holding me back was the amount of ships I could have. That damn capital ship uses 50 slots, but it's well worth it. I have one question though. I defeated a fleet of ships on a Desert planet, and it wouldn't let me c
Yes, I do, but nothing seems to be working that well. It seems the two most common messages I get are that I'm lacking metal, and lacking credits. I can sometimes work with the scant ships I have, but it's not really fun, and it's kinda hard. I assume having a large fleet is easier. Also, the pirate fleets are obscenely large.........just saying.
I will join. I'm not particularly good...yet, but RTS is my main type of game.
I start out the way you said to: I buy 200 crystal, and make a crystal extractor, then a capital ship factory. Unfortunately, then I can only build about 2 light frigates, and that's it. I dunno, but it seems that the game would be a whole lot easier for me if credits were easier to come by, instead of having to wait for them to slowly tricke in.
I'll join. I don't have all that much experience, but I'm sure that being in a clan will give me practice.
Okay, I just played about half a round on a relatively large map with the pirates inactive, and only one opponent. I have 5 planets, but they only have about 5 ships at each one, and a 1-2 missile station things. The most credits I had during the game was 3000. I upgraded the infrastructure at every planet I colonized, but I didn't feel that it helped all that much. I still couldn't build that many ships, at most 3 at a time. I think I'm starting to get the hang of the game though...f
But I can't really acquire 4-6 planets with only a few ships to fight off the enemy. I always end up being short on money, it feels totally different than in Command and Conquer games, where I always had an obscene amount of money, and the only obstacle was the contruction queue's. Any help on getting more money?
It definitely helps, thanks so much. I'm going to try and put these to use now, but still; I have the credits problem. I can't actually build 20-60 ships because I run out of credits, I can only build a few at a time.
I just bought this game Friday, and so far I love it, but I just feel like while I am learning, I'm missing all the essentials. It usually never takes me this long to learn how to play a game, is this just me? Or is the learning curve essentially a brick wall? I started playing this game, and it was excellent, but the tutorials didn't really help. I started playing as TEC, then Vasari; since the ships felt a little more powerful. I still had a problem with credits. I 'upgraded' the ci
Well, Vasari does feel a little stronger, but I'm still getting pwned by the TEC
I'm also having a lot of trouble with this game. I've played a lot of RTS games, but this one I just can't figure out. The interface I'm just starting to get the hang of. I played every tutorial, and it still took me a while to figure out how to actually play. When I play an easy AI, their ships always are more powerful than mine, and I just can't get the hang of playing the game smoothly, like how I can play almost every CnC game. Any tips? I usually play as TEC.
