[quote]Wikipedia Definition of Interceptors: An interceptor aircraft (or simply interceptor) is a type of fighter aircraft designed specifically to intercept and destroy enemy aircraft, particularly bombers, usually relying on great speed. A number of such aircraft were built in the period starting just prior to World War II and ending in the late 1960s, when they became less important due to the shifting of the strategic bombing role to ICBMs. Design There are two types

[quote]otherwise, everything else sounds good. Chink in the Armor as an ability name sounds too long, perhaps Weak Point Targetting or something similar. Imo, with ability and research names, the fewer definiate and indefinate articles (like "in" and "the") the better. I know, but I couldn't think of anything... And WPT is still too long...

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

the fact that FIGHTERS have a weapon that bypasses shields to me seems to mess with the whole idea of Fighters. TEC and Advent Fighters are effective vs Seige Frigs, LRF, and other SC, and thats all they should be (im of the opinion they also shouldnt be effective against SF and LRF, but thats a different matter). Wave Cannons would be a good idea for Vas Bombers... but it makes sense that the Vas Bombers carry Phase missiles... so instead put either Waves or Pulse Beams on Fighters,

ahh, i see, so like advent homing mines mixed with capital ships that drop seige platforms or missile batteries very good... what is their standard attack like? and how would it work? so you fly the SC to the requested destination, tell it to drop some sort of structure or whatever like a phase disruptor then fly off? or are the SC themselves the phase disruptors but can be fired upon by everything from Fighters to cap ships?

Reply to [MOD WIP] Fleet Diversification in Sins Modding Sins Forums

and on a seperate note, i think Mines need some playing with: the spread/cost/effectiveness/damage/range etc etc and, to counter it, some sort of heavy minesweeper that is well shielded/armored against mines, but weak vs SC or just everything else. the ship would fly through the minefield and either disrupt, disable or destroy the mines within range. it would cost alot of fleet supply, but would be good for clearing out mines. im just sick and tired of the micro with s

all very good! just with the TEC BSC, the Frag Rounds ability... that applies to what? their AA Cannons or their main Anti-Ship weapons? i know it says all weapons, but... are you saying the standard missile fired at a frigate or larger also does damage to SC in addition to their AA Guns? also... with TEC FSC... i thought Fighters were Anti-Light? or Anti-Medium? why are we giving them a boost against Caps? i would have thought with Bombers and Heavy Bombers (ill come back to

Thats cool just checking. [quote]Dormant Nanites: What it does is remove the effectiveness of hit-and-run as it causes carriers to receive DoT's when their SC dock with them. For lore, the rounds contain small amounts of nanites that wait until they are inside the carrier and then go on a feeding frenzy.[/quote] okay, but why? arent Advent and TEC just as capable of hit and run? and from what i read around the forums, the Vasari have been all but reduced to hit and run tactics

Reply to [MOD WIP] Fleet Diversification in Sins Modding Sins Forums

The Vasari Interceptor's Researchable is confusing... when the Vas Int docks with its own carrier it causes DoT to its own carrier? or are you using the BPSC concept? The Advent Interceptor's Reseachable looks a little OP to me, the 250% back at the target... against a Flak Frig or Anti-SC ability ship (Kol etc) it would be alright, they can take the hit, and can be covered while they regen, but the average SC would get drilled... maybe drop it to 200% and youve got a deal.

Make sure your sound card is compatible with Sins. Make sure your sound card driver is up to date.

Have you ever been entrenched behind your frontline worlds, waiting for that second fleet to build, or research to be done, or even for the other guy to attack you first? And all of a sudden, you get the generic "Enemy Fleet Incoming" cue. You get excited, and a bit worried, and scroll to the planet in question, and......!!!! A single scout ship, or carrier, or something silly. The backstory to this: in standard Sins, its easy to ignore, but im
