The thing is with capitals is the lack of damage. Entrenchment fixed that wiht multiple banks. THAT IS HOW CAPS SHOULD BE. But Stardock killed it COMPLETELY with starbases. A starbases of same cost can take out MULTIPLE CAPITALS. I say capitals do compliment a fleet but not very well balanced. There are about 3 per race that are good. The other 2 are crap. Normally 1 of those 3 if VERY SITUATION SPECIFIC. So you have 2 that you could even consider using as a general fleet unit. You have to re

All right to say i have been listening this i'm replying this. I have to say that mines are impossible to avoid when laid at grav well edge. No way to clear a minfield that hits you on entry and i didn't ahve a probalem laying up teh edge of a grav well. Plus i'm playing these games wiht all fast in SP with x2 speed. Even 1on1 all i see the ai do is build a starbase and camp. The AI just loves camping. I've had the ai jsut sit there FOR HOURS (LITERAL HOURS NOT 1/2 HOUR HOURSSSSS) Warping in

Flak today is more of a placeholder damage taker. I've relized that in my advent fleets 10 flak is extremely useful. Mostly becuase of it's cheapness (4 support and a cheap cost) and it's overall health. Each factions flak having over 1000 total points of damage. A disiple may kill a flak frigate but a flak frigate is a tank on an early game battlefield. Flak are also actually efficient at taking out squads. The thing is they don't kil the carrier. If the enemy had 10 carriers (140 support 20

The Only Normal A harpoint is a point on a ship that a gun can be fitted on. This term is used mostly for games with custimizable ships and vehicles such as EVE. Each hardpoint is just a POSSIBLE point at which a gun can be placed on. Similar to the way ships have guns that only fire sideways. Good example of this is the Space Egg. It has laser's that fire to the sides yet don't ahve the axis to fire straight forward. That is a hardpoint. But Hardpoint as said before is an empty

Thing's i've noticed in entrenchment really anger me. A) AI spam starbases early making it impossible to beat them early game (vasari in this are screwed over completely due to lack of early anti structure unit) B) If you and an enemy has even fleets and one of you attacks the other your fleet is forced to retreat. It's an arms race that if you have even planets doens't work. C) Mines are still annoying if someone places at edge of gravity well. Imediate explosion can

I had the same thing except it takes about 15 minutes. Also allong with textures optimized can we *hint hint wink wink* get some multi core in there. I'm sick of my computer running at 100% even though i have 4 cores. one core maxes out and sins runs wiht quite a bit of lag

x1.5 extra resources i'm pretty sure

i had entrenchment have a runtime error. I can't seem to play a game now.

Agent of karma- What are you talking about. A several hour long game. But have you played a 40 planet random online. You may have 6 planets and that resource boost gives you several decent ships plus great bombarding along with it's nanodissassemlber. I haven't had a game that if the space egg hit level 6 that it didn't pay itself off almost the first time i used that ability. Your point is, you won, and the space whale helped you win. Understood. However, as

My favorite here was the mine fixes, then the bank attack changes, This may make capitals USEFULL for combat agaisnt frigates. YESSS. Finally i loved the starbase changes. I played 2 games of entrenchment and deamed it unplayable too hard to play a full game. i'm looking forward to having a fun time (OH DEAR) testing entrenchment. W00t i'm page 4

Add multicore support. My 2.3ghz quad core cann't run the game full speed at a certain point QUAD CORE yet i run sup com so easily. Please add multicore support.

[quote who="Silveus" reply="12" id="2035397"]When i first played entranchment i played as the TEC and was looking through the Tech tree and saw the new Beam weapon upgrade and down where it lists the affected units it says, "Star Bases improved. All" Which made me think that there was more than one type of starbase for each faction, sadly there wasn't, but on that thought There could be. We could keep the current ones and make them more of a Small outpost and then have true starbasses that ca

I play as vasari and you know vasar caps YUCK! not the best out there. Advent caps are by far the most needed for a fleet of their own kind. But have you seen the vasari egg take out ships. Example i had the egg and 10 skirmishers (very early game for me probally 3rd or so) The enemy TEC had 25 cobalts. Now even though skirmishers are better he still had at least 60+ support in frigates. Now a level 3 egg with it's nano disassembler can hit a frigate. Let it die to the damage whi

Thank you positive comment back YESSSS. Starbases now are point defense. You can run around them and avoid them. So thats where the phase blocker above comes in. Having that either on a starbase or in special building would really make scouting be worth while and make people die if they don't scout.

[quote who="Shadowhal" reply="4" id="2032520"]I don't mean to discourage you, but my assumption is that there is already an dev consensus on what to do with starbases, so our energy is in all liklihood better spent on discussing the new version. nevertheless, I'd have to say that grav well wide range would be too extreme and the fact that you cannot have all upgrades, but have to chose is one of the things I love most about them (and that I dislike about fully expd c

what exactly are these maps. Plus it didn't make a differance i couldn't select the race that i needed to.

So many long posts i didn't read them all but cykur just to tell you i care i did read you're post in opposition to mine. I don't agree with you but thats total point of view. And with the way advent are in the end i think are way too good. In my mind they are overpowered. Vasari i got the feel that they were going to have the middle economy middle cost ships and extremely good damage and Hull/shields. What i'm feeling is that the advent get the most bang for their buck and really the

Thanks for the input. What the heck are you taliking about osiris [quote who="OsirisDawn" reply="1" id="2031895"]Hm, wouldnt that make them kinda useless, simply because those empty neutral places are quite rare? Sure, i had maps with quite some, but also maps with only one or even none of them. [/quote] Almost every random map has at least 5-10 of these. This really could revolutionize the game. Make defense plausible. P.S. I also fixed the

I made this a reply in someone elses post but i think it deserved a new post on it's own. What we are missing is the ability to control nuetrals. Entrenchment should change that. I know they are neutrals for a reason but it really ticks me off that if you have a neutral next to your home you have to do 2 jumps to hit a planet. I think this could be fixed with STARBASES. They seem now more like oversized ships not really meant for defense more just as one of those road spikes in front

yep

The issue isn't the begining cost or strength thats perfect UNLESS WE DOUBLE THE SIZE AND COST AND STRENGTH. I'm hoping that happens. My definition of starbase (comes form my experience with the game MMO EVE) is a base all on it's own that serves as it's own warp field. It can build ships, it can fight, it had a shield, and is worth fighting for and losing it is a big loss. (except for those freaking big clans with 2000+ people that have 20 of them *dang it*) The best thign i

i've redownloaded it 3 TIMES. [quote who="ShadowMastiff2468" reply="25" id="2031412"]like OP says he keeps on making changes and they cause errors on our side...might be that! [/quote] Touche' Touche'

Really do you need to ask. Being true to the star wars fan in me i say YODA. I mean an old guy with a sword that cuts through anything or an old guy wiht a walking stick and hobbits who like recieving gifts. NO BRAINER. From my standpoint *the star treck fan* the klingons owuld jsut spam birds of prey and own both of them. From my other standpoint chuck norris would win against the klingons, Yoda, Gandalf, Frodo and his little hobbits, and Jay leno. All before breakfast.

I did have multiple copies. I have vanilla and entrenchment. Copied the directories. It just isn't working for me. The Game works fine it's the mod. I've even used other mods. The save game either isn't showing or is saying INVALID FILE. Normally it jsut says invalid file.

[quote who="ShadowMastiff2468" reply="13" id="2029603"]Go under load game! and select it! Sins has NO ingame scenarios so what your basically doing is starting form a save point! [/quote] Didn't work says Invalid save file. I have entrenchment. That still shouldnt' effect anything why won't the mod work.
