Campaign would be fun. More lore content would be good, with more sins art. It would be fun to have scenarios where your place are determined by your faction, and should achieve something, not just skirmishing everytime. Tutorials are very weak, they only teach you so few things... you barely get a real look on things and even many basic things are not mentioned there. Not to speak about efficient play, noobs get to clue about it from the tutorials. Using a mod

[quote who="YakimoraLight" reply="4" id="3345830"] Any ideas?[/quote] Heavy cruisers do the work well enough, but prepare for heavy losses. Take out his capital ships one by one, maybe focus on flak? With bombers your fleet will be good enough to break any defense. Taking out factories and repair platforms are good ideas too. With your level5 titan and all your heavy cruisers and bombers focusing on a target you will make a breakthrough some time later, no o

Only build Refineries on planets that are connected with many planets having many resource asteroids. You can calculate what amount of connected resource asteroids you need to get higher income than from trade ports. In practice trade ports almost in every occasion give more money, and cheaper to build, and i

Not with mods, but I got this message when I modified a map (overwrote statistics to get higher chance of artifacts) and forgot to undo this. Are you sure you both have the same version of that map you want to use? Nothing is overwritten in those map files?

[quote who="Yarlen" reply="22" id="3341857"] The scales in Sins tend to break down past a certain point, but going from what Ironclad posted back in the day (IIRC) they go akin to: Strike Craft = 10 meters long Frigates/Cruisers = 100 meters Capital Ships = 1 kilometer [/quote] These numbers are quite realistic, thanks for the info. We can better guess the titans now I think knowing these numbers.

I think these are only visual things, we would need supercomputers to break these codes as noone has a slight idea what kind of signs these are, so I don't think this is the solution, but if someone has apps to break coding, then it's fine :D I'm curious what will be the answer.

[quote who="Timmaigh" reply="35" id="3336393"] Any competent player in eco spot is inherently overpowered, regardless of the faction he uses. Thats why you can afford/shall feed your teammates in the first place, if you happen to get into such position. (BTW just found you are Hungarian, i am your neighbour across the northern border then, from former Bajmóc, hehe) Anyway, face it. None of you will be satisfied, until VL are nerfed to obliv

VL if he gets eco position, you surely know where this is heading, huge amount of resources (as Vasari economy is the second best), excellent defenses easily put up everywhere if needed, brutal fleet that can take almost no losses... Phase gates spawned by the Vorastra will reinforce them in a second. And 13 level4 capital ship is good enough I think.. if they all reach higher levels at once, the more screwed are the opponents. They can upgrade capitalships to level 4. @Timmaigh, some

Hosting own games is a problem, especially when there is a 5v5 at the other room and because he is not known people may not join his game if there is absolute low numbers, and people number is slowly decreasing who plays this game (as I noticed).. And kicking someone from a simple 5v5 is a very lame thing just because some friend arrived, and you waited like half an hour to get finally kicked. Best you can do is indicate how good are you, people don't like players that are so stupid, that

[quote who="Timmaigh" reply="23" id="3335912"]it becomes a race[/quote] While Vasari has an extreme advantage, he will be able to reclaim planets, you will only be able to get asteroid fields or dead asteroids back.. If he went capitalship heavy, he will surely be able to kill planets faster than you, and I often see many Vulkoras in VL repertoire to be more efficient in bombardment.

[quote who="Timmaigh" reply="21" id="3335890"]unless you remove those centers.[/quote] And who stops the Vasari fleet in doing that? It can easily divide and take out 2-3 adjacent planets, and very soon you will push enemy culture out and colonize, strip, and leave. having 3-4 culture centers at every world is not an option I think, just an annoying thing for the Vasari, you won't buy enough time for yourself if you are like 10 jumps away.

It shouldn't be an impossible thing to make maps of the current galaxy layout, like a 3 player medium map where your place is determined by your race (I read somewhere it is not possible due to random placement of teams), but still would be fun to fight in reality, to be Vasari who invades Trader Space, or TEC who defends against these two races in a FFA, and continuing this, making premade maps for entrenchment where you have somewhat fortified frontline worlds and only some uncolonized

[quote who="Timmaigh" reply="7" id="3334877"]So you were winning but eventually lost to single VL player[/quote] It was a 5v5 where many players were defeated, we had a slight advantage but we couldn't stop a VL player (one of the well known players, can't remember his name) we decided to leave as it would have lasted too long to catch him, and he destroyed half of the map with STTC and would continue to do so. Denying players from his own planets is a very cruel way of winnin

maybe you should add the Vulkoras ability spawned bombardment platform, and the missile platform of the SOVA, to make this list even more perfect

[quote who="Robinoude" reply="4" id="3334748"]nanites[/quote] These function as frigates, there is a combat nanite swarm that is a weaker light frigate, costs 40 antimatter for the Rankulus and lasts for 3 minutes, there is a practically unarmed healing nanite swarm (not sure of its name) that "attacks" one of your damaged ships and restores some hull(like 150 or 200, like the Overseer, just a weker version), and there is an assault nanite swarm efficient against buildings. The combin

I don't want to be an annoying man, but it would be complete to see the nanite swarms there, as the assault nanite is the anti-structure cruiser for the Vasari, and the other swarms are interesting too (though many players don't like the Rankulus but it's not that bad, only average..) Nice work! Good to see people still have enthusiasm towards this game. [e digicons]k1[/e]

[quote who="GoaFan77" reply="1" id="3334200"]unless your Empire was so hollow[/quote] Overfortifying every planet shouldn't be the solution either, and putting starbases everywhere still does not save you, as Vasari bombers are very strong so you threw extreme amount of resources out of the window.

@Unazaki, what are you talking about? This goes for 5v5 Humans... It seems you talk about playing VS AI, as against human in suicide you will never build Kostura.. And defensive or aggressive :D this is not AI.. And Marauders :D if you build one, you have a serious problem understanding this game.. Those ships are so useless. I guess you haven't read the original post, it goes for multiplayers, 5v5 humans as that is the most common online game non-noobs play.

[quote who="Xenophon_" reply="275" id="3331722"]Rebels want to stay[/quote] I thought Rebels want to make some allies with TEC and Advent factions and then move on.. From Rebellion intro you can see a coalition of many interracial factions moving towards an alien galaxy... Maybe I completely misunderstood..

Just saying guys, there are similar signs on the Rankulas capital ship too, maybe that ship is part of the puzzle too, so if you want to analize these signs don't forget that capital ship too.
