i havent seen the SB bug, but i have seen the weird phase hop... im sure you know but its worthwhile to note that the vasari Subverter (i think) has the ability to do a mini phase jump within a system... if you are experiencing what i think you are experiencing, its when ships arrive in a gw, and then all of a sudden reappear a good distance to the left or right... really weird... although it isnt bad when they would have run into a face full of space mines if they hadnt jumped =P

Reply to Colored and deep space sykboxes? in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

coloured space boxes turn the "sky" different colours, like soasertsus said. its sorta like throwing a bucket of paint at the wall and seeing what happens the deep space boxes adds more subtle touches, like more stars, some semi-transparent nebulas like clouds and highlights etc. if you click each on and off you can cycle through the different styles having them on at the same does nothign really, the colour overrides the deep one almost entirely, but i play with colou

Reply to The Green Star has Murdered the White Dwarf!? in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

well, thinking about it logically, green is a very hard colour to create in natural flame... i mean, of all the star types we know of, they have the colours of the different levels of flame on earth (red, orange, yellow, white, blue). in order to create a green flame you need to add a chemical or ink or some other artificial additive to create green flame (did it on a school cadets camp once, got bored on picket duty so started burning stuff out of my ration pack =P) so... its

the fact simply remains, if you have more flak than he has fighters etc, you will win, if he has more SC than you have AAA, he will win, etc etc stop trying to win the game with 3 ships, and you'll find the balance in Sins isnt as big an failure as spammers make it out to be

[quote who="Nacey" reply="1677" id="2466544"] Quoting Whiskey144, reply 1676 hmm, I haven't played any race except Vasari at present, and their Destabilizer is set up properly (I think, might have to go back&check). As for their orbital defense, well, that thing was a bit "not right" in terms of tier. The icon is way off on the right (making it look tier 7), but is really only tier 4. With the Vasari on the example I gave there actually wasn't any mo

if at all possible, i think it would be cool if magnetic clouds hid all ships inside them, so like, only yo ucan see them, but not your enemy and you cant see your enemy alternatively, go the opposite way and show many many more ships than there actually are, just to confuse players though i prefer the first idea, itd be good to launch surprise attacks from, as for balance... perhaps sufficient scouts or a researchable tech to allow visibility in mag clouds for a period...
