[quote who="Timmaigh" reply="99" id="3358127"] where is it going to be "described" or "explained"?[/quote] I think they will be able to describe it in the planet info card... They can solve the problem and nowhere else to put this text..

[quote who="P3CTankman" reply="8" id="3358120"] Haven't had a problem with it so far. Also not sure why you would be worrying about speed, if you are assaulting it's not much of an issue. If they are assaulting there is always defense turrets to hold them off. EDIT: I realized I might have been mistaken about the last part. Are you referring to the research or the speed?[/quote] Original post was ab

[quote who="Yarlen" reply="97" id="3358086"]Iron sounded kinda meh[/quote] You are right, the name is awesome and creative, though I expected you to use existing planet types, but it's ok, this sounds good and suggest what this planet is. The lack of reference caused me to get disoriented on what it might be, I knew it has something to do with iron just wasn't sure.

[quote who="P3CTankman" reply="6" id="3358018"]I just use fighters for this. Just throw a carrier capital ship and some light frigs and the fighters take care of the corvettes most of the time.[/quote] Early game, most players avoid carrier starter capital.. Light carrier cruises are lightyears away..

[quote who="XATHOS" reply="88" id="3357747"] Ferrus planets are hollow planets,[/quote] You know something about Ferrus worlds? Can you tell me from where did you get your information and what is a Ferrus world exactly? I was unable to find this expression on the internet, though I am familiar with exoplanet types and categories so it bothers me much that a common planet type (because it will be incorporated in Sins..) and I haven't even heard about it..

[quote who="JinglyGoo" reply="2" id="3357912"]Dont go for just one type as its not as effective and very open to a counter.[/quote] I say he can go pure LF if he wants, it is open for change any time as he can switch production to corvettes if enemy tries long range, and corvettes build fast. Edit: I always have 2-3 factories so maybe that's why I think in another way than Jingly, can easily switch ship types in my fleet.

[quote who="Yarlen" reply="89" id="3357865"]There are several that are extremely powerful, like Fortress World.[/quote] Hmm sounds interesting, gives exploration a bit more taste in single player mode, I like it :) At last not all will be useless or small bonuses like in the original game where no planet bonus has high impact on anything..

Light frigates are good. They are not hard counters of corvettes, but you really don't want to mass flak frigates unless you really know how to use them. Light frigates are decent against corvettes, can be accessed immediately in the game and not very expensive while still gives you enough firepower to deal with bigger objects like capital ships. Corvettes have negative multipliers against light frigates while light f. does not have this penalty against corvettes. Late game it&#39

[quote who="GoaFan77" reply="206" id="3357054"]I was just being sarcastic btw, don't always take me seriously. [/quote] I know :) but still.. it is strange that mainly my allies suffer from being incompetent and not the opponents..

Some random stuff that came into my mind recently about the 1.5 beta version: Cheaper exploration of planet surfaces and higher chance of finding something- excellent, I do exploration well before late game as now I can afford it New artifact properties- paired with the cheaper exploration, singleplayer fun factor increased over level9000 :D Titan research level1-3- it is a magnificent idea to do something about these otherwise boring stuff, they didn&#3

@Yarlen, can you do something about AI colonization? In todays game my ally refused to colonize, he acquired 2 asteroids but failed to send colony ships to 4 other possible planets (volcan, dead asteroid, asteroid and a terran), but he had 2 colony ships at the edge of one of his asteroids.. Slowly he got defeated by attrition as his opponent had all worlds colonized at his part and it was a huge advantage on his side. AI and the colonization of Volcanic and Ice planets were always pr

[quote who="GoaFan77" reply="200" id="3356697"]The devs decided in a secret update to address the complaints about easy AI by only fixing the problem for hostile AIs.[/quote] To be honest I don't mind having an allied AI who is beaten by my other opponent in a 2v2, it makes me kill 2 strong enemies that is always fun. But having an ally who is so worthless I am getting in a 2 front assault in an hour or so because my other enemy can afford to send huge forces my way

A strange thing happened to me in a 2v2 (medium large random map), my unfair AI ally just stopped doing anything after a lost battle and after this he got wiped out without resistance by another unfair AI... is it supposed to happen? It wasn't building ANYTHING (ship), he was satisfied with having 2 capital ships and a light carrier... It wasn't a fun game because he died well before I was able to make a decisive strike on the other front and I don't like to go 1v2 against unfairs

Are you using the Rebellion 1.5 beta? Because there even the random or pre-made maps have this problem too..

Random maps are not working well, in every try so far they acted like my made maps with small phase lanes, player sectors are isolated, only 1 route to the center (random medium, random large), and sometimes only connection is a NOT WORKING WORMHOLE... have to start the game over after discovering this is not good, but it would be awesome if wormholes worked :) Grindstone map is broken. I tried several times a 2v2, every time it was an unfinished 8-winged star, if the t

[quote who="Pat_22_" reply="38" id="3355475"]I want to know what that black planet is.[/quote] It is very likely that it is a simple Barren world..

[quote who="ShotmanMaslo" reply="19" id="3355332"]What is a Ferrus planet?[/quote] Sounds like iron to me, maybe a planet with a huge iron core? maybe the core almost reaches the surface and can be easily mined? Maybe a type of asteroid, metal-asteroids are common in the solar system, maybe it is a bigger version of the non-silicate orbital bodies...

A great addition to the game, I always missed more planet textures, types, and discoverable things :) Very good job! I am preparing my Paypal to be able to purchase it immediately after release ;)

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOW A DLC OMG is it possible? Someone wake me up :)

Yarlen, you lied to me in another thread where I asked whether it is possible to get new planet looks and new planet types, yet it seems there will be... You said not even in DLC... HMM.. [e digicons]:|[/e] Strange stuff going on. BUT it would be awesome, and thanks for the hard work!! :)

[quote who="Yarlen" reply="98" id="3354825"] updated volcanic planet. [/quote] THAT'S AWESOME! I hope other planets will look as fancy as this :)

[quote who="Yarlen" reply="77" id="3354496"]Nope, no changes to phase missiles.[/quote] I guess only Vasari fans are OK with this idea (both Vasari factions are no doubt the strongest in Rebellion, although have to check this remains the same after the 1.5 changes). Everyone who is playing on a higher level than a noob sees the difference between a Vasari bomber swarm and any other one (killing a capital ship easily with less squadrons than other race, dominating the fi

@Yarlen, we still have no news on the phase missiles, are you planning to change anything about them? These practically make late game Advent fleet suffer like hell against Vasari, not having any high-level capitalship after 2 seconds, or a titan exploded no matter if it's shields were still on, and maybe still powerful.. It would really make the game more balanced, as phase missile units have extreme advantage over their average racial counterparts (especially bombers) because they pass

Who doesn't want to know? It's not really a question. They must be put in Sins of a Solar empire 2 if it is ever released, their introduction would cause many interesting changes. BUT This race will not be balanced or will not fit the role of Vasari killing nemesis, it cannot be balanced and invincible at the same time... To be honest I would really like to see a race like the Reapers in Mass Effect, focusing heavily on capital ships and squadrons, and frigates

[quote who="YakimoraLight" reply="7" id="3346209"]1090 supply[/quote] ???? What did you expect? If you want to be chained by your economy, not wanting to ruin it you will never break through. Two fortified starbases are not things to be laughed at, not talking about if they have some support.... 1. Against AI just lure his ships out of the range of the starbase, and kill them, no hard fight. AI can't really use red button, but I guess you know
