I completely agree with the OP. I, too, was disappointed with no storyline. A lot of current games that are not space based have campaigns that people buy JUST to play the storyline. Being thrust into a galaxy that is arbitrarily at war with greenie meanies and told to "make up your own story" is rather dull. The game speed kinda gets in the way of a good imaginative story. For example. Normal speed game. &nbs
Or you could be attempting to play a mod-enabled version of Sins, and you still only have Vanilla.
It's definitely an interesting concept. Next question: My friends and I just played a normal map, but we found no new types of planets or encounters. What did we do wrong there? Thanks again for your input. An extra TY for the AI tweaking that kept us all pinned down for 2-3 hours.
Goa, would you kindly tell me how to use planetary defenses? From the description ingame, it sounds as if the planets have an ability to fire into space, but I (nor my friends) can figure out how to make them work. Thanks in advance!
Interesting concepts.... I still think that the added strategy of allowing Vasari placed phase gates to be used by ANY player (with proper research) would add an extra layer of strategy to the game.
Everyone has made great points. This thought occurred to me while discussing something with a friend. If all races could research a tech that would grant them defensive traps against strikecraft in large numbers in some fashion, it would not invalidate the usage of corvette strategies. Since the NPCs rarely use strikecraft in zergomg numbers, but could employ the defense on their hangars, this would allow casual compstomp to enjoy a higher level of co
Ugh, I suppose I'll join the Zerg Horde and play Vasari. If you cant beat them, join them.
We like to play a lot of 10 player FFA. Vasari are so OP with the phase gates, roving starbases, and planet muncher that I am the only person that plays anything OTHER than Vasari. I usually dominate all my opponents until some knucklehead gets the jumper, then it's gg. I love the Advent. I truly think that they can stop the Vasari. I don't have spreadsheets, none of us are skilled players, and we just mess around and have fun. &n
Apparently, you haven't been the guest of a full fleet of Vasari Loyalists paying a visit to your homeworld via a gate. I could superdefend a sector, but a fleet of bombers, capital ship, and Titan will reduce all of your system to rubble in about 5 minutes.
It's the soap that's chasing the Vasari... the SOAP!!!!!!
Please. PLEASE. Do something about these gates to make them less effective. A 30 minute cooldown between phase gate usages, etc. There is no way in anyone's mind that these gates were foreseen as balanced. When fighting in Vast maps, a Vasari player can drop a phase gate using a super weapon BEHIND YOUR LINES!!!! By the time you warp 27 sectors to get back to confront him, he has already ninja jumped to another section of your lines. &n
The people with the money hats say NO. Release it now, patch it later. Look at what's happening with Diablo 3. Who cares about the short term reviews, let's make the money.
Bump x2
Still learning, so here goes. What is the easiest way to take down each race's SB when playing as TEC and Advent?

Must be some heckuvalota bacon to summon more fleets!
On first tooltip for Vasari Loyalist: Vorastra Dark Fleet: "Your titan activates an internal fleet BECON, periodically summoning ships from the Dark Fleet to join in battle." First time I read that, I thought it said internal fleet BACON! Harharharhar! I'm sure they meant Beacon though.
I havent seen this, and I've been playing over 300 hours.
I had an unfair snatch it once, but I received no warning that he had it. I just looked randomly at the timer and I had one minute thirty seconds on the clock :/

I went Loyalist
Ugh.... can anyone say OMGOVERPOWERED!?!?!?! Econ to beat TEC, unstoppable ships, why would you play anything else? I ROLLED over the AI. Didn't even try. Me vs 3 UBER hard computers=roflstomp.
It will be Thursday. Trust me.
