Reply to Vasari weapons discussion. in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

isnt that the very epitome of unbalanced? i like combining pulse guns and beams on the research, up to 40%. and putting beams on fighters and sentinels sounds good. i would change the two primary weapons of the orkulus, maybe, but not the disintegrators. the TEC antistarbase weapon cant be upgraded, and neither can the advent. if we are trying to create a weapons balance, why go ahead and give an extra advantage to the vasari?

hey! i liked the timeline! i was following pretty well i think. just so i understand, though. there are two different ways of interstellar travel, regular ftl (like star wars) and phase space (obviously, sins)? how come they couldnt re-develop the first way. and why does earth have to dissapear? why does it always have to dissapear?

[quote]Translate it into a game would mean something like the model you see in Freespace 2. It doesn't matter if you fire your laser over an hour at a Destroyer, you'll never do any damage. You need actual bombs to do something. What it means for a game like Sins? It means that Capital Ship should be made inmune, and I mean immune to all incoming fire except from the heaviest Cruiser, defense Platform, altilery Unit and other Capital Ship. Giving them more hitpoint/Fire power won't really do

Yes, it in theory does prevent massing of capital ships, but in practice that's more than you would ever conceivably need[/quote] i respectfully disagree. a buff to capital ships would necessarily have to include a nerf to its speed. if you were only fighting with capital ships, firgates and cruisers would just run around them. those kodiaks would be able to get into the enemy's r

Reply to capital ships in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

[quote]For this reason, in practically every game you will ever play the smallest unit is almost always the most cost-effective, and the biggest unit is almost always the least cost-effective. In Sins, what that means is that capital ships will never match up to frigates for pure fighting strength, and the game would likely become a boring capital-ship-free-for-all with few frigates if they did.[/quote] this is true. i have two counters to that. one, you can only have 16 capital ships

everybody go take a look at the Saints of a Solar Empire thread. actually, don't. its 26 pages of mostly fluff, with some story in there. but the point is, we've kept it alive of a year and a half, despite times where there would be no new story done for two months. keeping a good thread alive is important, even if you might annoy a few people. hey, its a good way to pass the time until the devs come out with something new

Reply to Which is The Best race? in Strategy Sins Forums

in the end, the TEC will win. it is inevitable. war supply, as dOOmy88 pointed out, is 95% of the battle. as the saying goes, amateurs discuss tactics, generals discuss logistics. in the game, TEC is still my favorite. but, i'm currently playing hyperion's gate as advent, with 3 unfair and 4 hard ai's, and the advent ships are ridiculously good. i'm defending 2 worlds from simlutaneous attacks with a starbase and a small fleet against huge fleets with 15 hc, 30 lrf and 10 anti-structu

Reply to Expansions in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

its ok raging amish. i believe i worded that badly. i meant that obviously it was taking much longer than they said it would. when they first announced it, i guessed that the diplomacy xpansion would include a campaign, mostly because i couldnt think of anything else they could put it. i refuse to believe that they are abandoning us. if they were just in it for the money, they wouldnt have done what they did with DRM and copy protection. they know that they are one or two balance patc

Reply to Expansions in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

back when they first announced the new expansions, they said the second one was diplomacy and the third was new weapons technologies, ship designs, attack stuff, etc. they also said they would take about 6-8 months each, and we all know what happened to that. also, i'm thinking that along with the diplomacy will be a story mode, and that's why its been taking so long. too much to hope for? i dont think so

capital ships in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

so, i had a thought. a suggestion, actually, for the developers. a big one, one that they might be able to do with the third expansion, but something that i would like to see. when i first bought this game a year ago, the thing i was really looking forward to was titanic clashes between huge warships. i don't believe that this vision ever existed in this game. think about it. capital ships are only used as support ships. i would love to see the return (or rather, the genesis) of capital

Reply to Best Battleship in Strategy Sins Forums

i prefer the kol, too. the kortul, as we have noted, is not a true battleship, ie it doesnt dish out shitloads of damage while at the same time soaking up tons and tons of enemy fire. the radiance and the kol are better on both accounts. i'll take the kol because i generally play defensively, and the kol fits that style of gameplay better
