I think they should make the time required dependent on the type of planet and the number of capital ships, and their level, you have in orbit around the planet. The default time could be something like 60 minutes for a Terran/Desert planet, 45 minutes for a volcanic/ice planet, 30 minutes for a moon, 15 minutes for asteroids/pirate bases, and 5 minute for dead asteroids. For every capital ship you have in orbit, the timer speeds up by 10%. For every level your capital ship has, the t

Make it so that the Orkulus burns off modules in order to jump to planets without phase stabilizers. So basically, in order to do a jump, you automatically lose 3 module slots, making it so that you can only build 5 modules after a jump, and any Orkulus with more than 5 modules already built can't jump at all. There could also be an 8th level research that reduce the burn off to 2.

Well, compare this expansion to Entrenchment and Diplomacy. Those micro-expansions were $10 each, so does Rebellion add at least three times as much stuff as either of those? The last $10 is for the fact that it's a stand alone game.

It would be nice if there were some skill synergy. Micro Phase Jump should temporarily increase the effectiveness of Desperation. Having a phase stabilizer in the gravity well should decrease the cooldown and increase the range of Micro Phase Jump. It would also be nice if Deploy Phase Stabilizer doesn't just create regular Phase Stabilizers. Level 2 should create a Phase Stabilizer with a repair or recharge shields/anti-matter ability. Level 3 creates one that spreads culture. Le

I would assume that they have a lever or knob that lets them dial down the gun's power.

I did find something awhile back before the Vasari were introduced (even before the Advent were as well), though I am not sure if it anything... I am speculating on the off chance that what I did find was a hint. We know that the Vasari Loyalists have a separate "Returning Armada" research tech; the

[quote who="SithLordAJ" reply="45" id="3154456"] Quoting MadCowKing, reply 43But the probability that a shot would be able to hit any living thing is extremely low. You'd have to account for the motion of planets and gravitational effects. And if the shot misses a planet, it's only traveling at 1.3% the speed of light. It would take hundreds of years for it to even reach another solar system. I think you miss the point. Pretty much anything of that size fired dire

[quote who="XubXub" reply="24" id="3154286"] Quoting Pat_22_, reply 22Not that firing it non stop wouldn't be fun as hell, but you know, sometimes friendly targets might get in the way. A slug from that hitting one of your own cities might not be good for your empire ( alliegance rate drops by 90%? ) Yeah, I somehow think there would be consequences. Fun visual, though. http://www.youtube.co

Maybe they accidentally opened a wormhole to the center of the universe.[quote who="RiddleKing" reply="2" id="3152434"] quoting post Its mothers day so Vasari should be here ? think vasari mother ships Vasari is a one gender speecies.

Maybe they could make it so that boarding party gives you temporary control over an enemy ship.

I don't think I have ever been able to capture a ship with boarding party. They might as well make it so that boarded ships give you some cash if they're destroyed without being captured.

I think Flak Burst could work better if it just destroyed a certain hit points worth of ships. So at level 1, it would do something like 500 hit points worth of damage, destroying 6 Advent bombers or 3 Vasari bombers.

With Subjugation, the chance of conversion should increase with every shot. So the first time a ship gets hit by it, there's a 10% chance, the second time, it increases to 12.5%, then 15%, and so on.

With the level of technology in Sins, there's really no reason for land based combat. It would not be that difficult for them to kill everyone on a planet without damaging the infrastructure too much. They can use chemical and biological weapons or neutron bombs. The Vasari can probably make some kind of nanite plague. The Advent can just mind control everyone or give them strokes. Only heavily protected bunkers or military installations need to be destroyed by orbital bombardment

Counterintelligence - Level 4 defense tech A network of spies are employed to destroy intelligence gathered on your empire by your rivals. Level 1 Any planet you own returns to "undiscovered" status to your opponents 8 minutes after their last visit to that planet, 4 minutes if the planet is in your culture. Level 2 Any planet you own returns to "undiscovered" status to your opponents 4 minutes after their last visit to that planet, 2 minutes if the pla

A simple solution would be to add a tech or building that turns your planets back into unexplored planets for your opponents like the Gap Generator in the Command and Conquer: Red Alert games.

The problem with "Arrival" is that it's based on a huge plot hole and the story just makes no sense. The Reapers always hide their existence. They try to eliminate all evidence of the cullings so that no one can ever be prepared for it. Heck, a large part of the first game was about Saren trying to prevent Shepard from uncovering the secret of the Prothean Beacons and learning about the Reapers. In fact, without the Prothean warning, no one would know that the Reapers existed.

They could introduce a tech on the security tree that allows you to re-shroud a planet. Basically, with this research, your planets become unexplored again to your opponents if they haven't sent ships there for a certain amount of time. That way, it becomes more difficult to use super weapons against core worlds farther away from the fighting.

I know they were going for the cargo ship look but they really should have based it on one of these ships: [img]http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20080112172729/memoryalpha/en/images/d/d0/Xhosa.jpg[/img] [img]http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20080202191552/memoryalpha/en/images/1/14/Axanar_cargo_vessel_2151.jpg[/img] [img]http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20050527092134/memoryalpha/en/images/c/c9/Boknor.jpg[/img] [img]http://images4.wikia.nocookie.

Then add a damage sharing buff similar to Shield Projection. Make it so that the Eradica absorbs 10%/20% of the damage taken by all your ships within a 3500/5000 radius.

Instead of having the Eradica's 6th level ability activate when it dies, it should just make the ship more powerful relative to how much damage it has taken.

Maybe more options can be introduced. Instead of just an on and off button. You could adjust the kinds of pirate attacks. You could have the option of changing how often they attack and whether they send big armies or small raiding parties. Maybe also include an option where pirates flee if they lose a percentage of their ships.

They opened a wormhole to the Mirror Universe and they're running from:
