[quote who="GoaFan77" reply="1" id="3123970"]Lol, most of the people here didn't start playing until 1.05 at least. The original Sins is now at version 1.193, so you missed say 14 patches. And you know, there were those two expansion things. I doubt the multiplayer culture has changed too much, the elite group is still there, but in theory games could be a lot shorter in Rebellion, with titans, alternative game modes etc. Steam may increase the player counts a lot too but its h

Well i was bored this afternoon and an announcement pops up on steam about rebellion SOASE, and im like THE GAMES STILL ALIVE?!?!? I had basically quit shortly after 1.04 on the original SOASE cause the balance was too broken and having 3 hour games whenever i sat down to multiplayer just wasnt possible (still isnt >. Regardless im thinking of getting back into

I don't understand why people keep saying the devs are trying hard leave them alone etc. etc. Empires mod a completly free full conversion mod for HL2 has devs working on it all the time unpaid in their spare time just because they want to and we expect just as much if not more then the devs here. The devs here are paid, we have paid them our hard earned money therefore we deserve to have their best effort and nothing less i know they have lives too and i understand that and everyone wi

So i came back after taking a long break to empires mod and i have gotten back into sins obviously i left as a experienced veteran and came back now as semi-experienced person. So my question is have any new popular strategies developed that i should watch for what has anything else changed? (other then marza barrage and the updates which i all read.)

Where did i complain about graphics of the game? I never complained. This game has great graphics but theres always room for improvement and i was asking whether there would improvement. Im not even asking for better graphics im merely asking if there will be an improvement. No one here is complaining and nor am i. I know and realize that this is a small studio and its a complete and utter waste of time to spend months on painstaking details and frankly im impressed with what they got. This t

Yes but the argument here is that people think you HAVE too. As a programmer i can tell you out of experience that programming can make or break how the game runs even crysis could probably run smoother if they had a smarter programmer. The problem is everyone just assumes Good graphics=monster pc needed=most can't run it. You can have good graphics without a super computer its all about the programming its isn't a law of nature that can't be changed people need to stop just assuming these th

This was a post by Tyr but i think that it would make a better topic here: "repulsion/illuminator spam is returning in a worse way than ever. in 1.05 guardians and illuminators here horribly over powered. so illums where nerfed (not by much) the only viable counter to illum spam came when carriers where beefed up. but now with flaks being beefed up carriers are once again obsolete and illum spam is back. why its so much worse now

Agree thats why im going advent handling illum spam is getting annoying just because without carriers the only thing to counter them are heavy cruisers and even more LRM spam then they have.

After playing Crysis it should have been obvious that the number of computers capable of running Crysis divided by the number of computers capable of running Sins comes out to a very small fraction. Bleeding edge graphics in a niche game is monumentally stupid. Bleeding edge graphics in a game like Crysis is just somewhat pointless. They'd have made twice as much money with half the bu

As a general rule of thumb you should ALWAYS have LRFS before anyone else and ALWAYS get at least 1 mil lab from the start. Assilants are the easiest to get and offer great advantages since you get them so early as opposed to 3 labs for advent and 2 for TEC. Also you must have control of Neutrals your scouts can take neutrals so you have to get those neutrals those can win and lose games depending on the map and once you get them send of a couple light frigs just to keep them locked d

Im sorry but after playing crysis the graphics seem pretty bad. Not that i ever expected crysis level graphics but when if ever will there be any signifacant improvement or addon. Because most of the stuff so far has been pretty minor. And although the games beautiful i want even more eyecandy. Maybe some revammping of textures? this doesn't have to mean that all of a sudden people can't run this game thats what settings lower the Ultra are for anyway. Hell even i can't run crysis on all max

So i was having a game where reborn was next to me. I was TEC he was Advent 5v5. Equal teams. I was not getting feed. He as far as i know was not getting feed, i think. I rushed out a marza and lrms of the bat, he was far enough away that he managed to get 1 roid by the time i got there and he was getting illums. I caught him off guard. Now i probably should have dedicated my attack earlier since it took me a good 3-4 minutes to decide best course of action. So that

Ive been playing this since the day it came out and ive never had that problem, well maybe a couple times but no one that would really unbalence the teams. The problem i see is that these "experts" forget about everyone else you try to join their server with no record or new, automatic kick i mean come on. How supportive is it for your first time playing to get kicked off every game. If your going to kick them at least NICELY tell them that your looking for a more experienced group of

lol yea i know too late

REally? I find that they spam un-upgraded starbases everywhere in the most useless places and spam Ligh frigs for first 30 or so min. What maps do you play? against what skill level? And what you say is probably true as AI actually stands for artifical stupidity.

Which is VERY annoying against advent who are heavily reliant on shielding for most of the game, completly bypassing those leaves only a weak and unarmored hull.

Lets try to keep to one faction only shall we Ryat? [e digicons]XD[/e]

take number 1 out then do them all in order in addition of singing "A pirates life for me" in the police cruiser.

Transitive pointed out sometthing i missed LF are useful for protecting Extractors especially from the like of Tyr who is a gready bastard when it comes the Neutrals [e digicons]:D[/e] . But i guess it depends on the strategy i personally NEVER build LF's because i find using the extra moneyu for LRF research is a better use of money which is crucial in the early stages of the game but i guess that both could work given experience.

Im curious as to what people would consider they're "ideal" fleet. I personally am not sure can't decide which ships i would weigh more then others. Rules: 1. If you had to pick no "depends on the situation." posts, please 2. If you HAVE to say 100 carriers or 100 Heavy cruisers go ahead but, explain why. 3. Limited to 3 Cap ships, assume lvl6 for all. 4. Assume ALL military research is done.

Charvel thank you for givin me a reasonable response. What you said in your middle paragraph is exactly WHY i don't like impulse, thats why all my computers are custom builds so i control whats put on it. Once my cousin came from Turkey and he was complaining his comp was slow at the laptop itself actually was pretty powerful, enough to run most game. SO i decided to take a look at it, there were over 20 "trial" programs random shit that came Bundled with it i mean its no wonder people always

EXACTLY CHARVEL I DON"T WANT IT TO DO ANYTHING I DON'T NEED IT! Did you seriously even read my post. Why don't you just go around wearing a shirt that says " i [e digicons]<3[/e] impulse." But it doesn't look like your up to an actual arguement so im done here until you come up with actual reasons you can keeping spamming your posts. My arguement is with the fact YOU HAVE to install it people who want to can go right ahead but why is stardock forcing everyone to download un needed program.<

All of the Above [e digicons]:D[/e] favourite is a combo of spam and carrier

No not really.... Kill 1 or 2 of the seige frigs colonzie it and start pumping out the LRF's i mean most of the games ive seen Tyr play in he hardly builds light frigates at most one or 2 even if hes eco it doesn't make sense to spend that extra money. only to but out phased couple minutes later. Especially if your vasari then you should NEVER build Lf's

This arguement is pointless it all depends on play style, strategy, and circumstances of the battle some times illums could be better some cases Javelis could be better and sometimes Assilants are better. It all depends on circumstances, personally ived played with all of them i can't pick a favourite; you can't beat illums damage but its expensive in research and production. Javelis is cheap but weak until you upgrade armor. Assilants are very easy to get early on but lag behind later.
