I suspect you are using a mod, am I right? In a previous (not the latest) version of Enhanced 4X mod (which changed the Advent Superweapon effect) upon impact the game minidumped. If this is the case just download the newer version found online. If not, I have no idea what can be wrong, others may help you out.

Ok I got the idea of fleets are better than static defenses, but making all of them even more useless was not the original idea of this game I think (although there are problems rooting in original game ideas, like I put a gauss defense platform somewhere and it will never be used, ever in the whole game because it can't even orbit the poor planet I wanted to defend it with because my opponent will not be stupid to move in range...ridiculous). Z-axis placement would be a terrible thing in
Phase jump inhibitors and starbases are meant to be effective defensive weapons, with Z-axis they become useless piece of crap. (Starbases are already close to it because of bombers) You guys seem very clever, then tell me how do you counter Z-axis tactics? Nohow? Yeah z-axis shouldn't be banned exploit, we can counter it many ways, or no?.................. My opinion is to ban things that are extremely hard to counter (if even it's possib

No more trollinglol just legit responses !![/quote] You are asking way too much I think.. If you ask me my opinion is that even developers don't know yet what is chasing the Vasari, they will only find out if they will start development of Soase2, if they start ever.... After God knows how many years they still haven't told us..
Nice work again ;)
You are making huge mistakes in the beginning, I am pretty sure too. Easy AI can never get heavy cruisers in 10 seconds, and you don't mention to build your own FREE capital ship. Your first capital ship is free, and helps much. Easy AI does not get the research cheat harder AI gets, and it needs 5 military labs for heavy cruisers, and a research, he can get it harder than you, and I am serious about it. DON'T BUILD DEFENSES. Just don't do that. Only if you
[quote who="ARESIV" reply="5" id="3323023"] If you waste wail on scouts, you cannot be helped anymore. Again... there is a 5 times stacking limit. [/quote] I think he tried to say use wail on the gravity well where the enemy fleet is, while you have your titan and 5 scouts there, to decimate enemy and get the 5 times stacking bonus at the same time.
[quote who="PlayerJuan" reply="7" id="3322961"]Starbases can get strikecraft upgrades, get fighters against bombers.[/quote] Extremely inefficient when enemy bombers are in huge numbers,and supported by flak (I know the base will shoot down flak, but still would be good to be realistic, NO INTELLIGENT RACE would build starbases without anti strike craft weapons if they know their enemy has strike craft, would be extremely stupid...)

[quote who="ARESIV" reply="40" id="3322140"] This is a lot more easy in theory than in practise. From my personal experience the AI got better with Rebellion. Especially the Advent one.

I am very sad looking at these awesome pictures and I can't put them as wallpaper as the quality greatly drops if I do (screw that laptop window size :( )
Now I remember there is one, What should be in the next balance patch, that is for general balance discussion, and there are many ideas on almost everything that is currently wrong, that's why here isn't many comments about how to make things better I think.
I thought I remember a thread on how to make these ruined abilities better but now I can't find it, is it real that there is no thread for it?!?!?!?!?!?!? Or I was too lazy to search for many month old threads and only checked that have been commented in 2013.

You are asking things that would turn the game extremely unbalanced. If everything affected everything it would ruin many things. I agree with that TEC and Advent needs more things to weaken enemy Titans, but this is exaggeration. Try killing an Orkulus, even with 1/10th of fleet the Vasari human player will kill you if you don't have crazy amounts of bombers, and Vasari fleet is composed of 2-3 ships like kanrak and corvettes, but this is ridiculous you need to be extremely overw
[quote who="RiddleKing" reply="2" id="3321569"]I really hate the VL[/quote] I guess you wanted to write VR, but maybe just a typo
Yes, it is great problem that Vasari can easily survive with minimal fleet, it can easily destroy many times larger fleets without any result from the enemy, the early Orkulus is far more stronger than anything else that the other two races can build. Some say don't let Vasari get to late game, and I just LOL, one Orkulus and a phase jump inhibitor is far more than enough with a supporting fleet to kill uncountable numbers of your ships while having minimal losses on the Vasari front. I p
I am Hungarian, and I have the highest degree (but not native speaker) in English, the problem is I got it many years ago and I cannot use it very often, mainly online.
If you built all capital ships possible online that is a huge mistake beginners make, even a moderate player will know you have nothing against bombers that counter capitalships hard. Online never build that much capital hips, 1-2 is enough if you can keep them alive, they will never level up if you have 10 of them, and are weaker than the same fleet capacity used by frigates (a level1 capitalship is no match for 5 heavy cruisers, it is the most simple example, only on higher levels they get
Sins of a Solar Empire is unfortunately not about nice things, as you can say from the number of planet types, and the planet textures. Only mods add depth in these fields. Ships and ETC are nice, but many things lack variety.
I think cease fire does not mean you are allies.. But maybe I am wrong, but I think you will need peace treaty to be called allies officially, although I haven't tested anything about it, just thinking of the theory. It would be strange to be allies after a cease fire, doesn't sound logical to me, but this game sometimes doesn't care about logics I know..
[quote who="Timmaigh" reply="2" id="3321163"] What does Novalith require? [/quote] Step 1. Don't lose homeworld, so starbase it having emergency government. Step2. Don't lose bigger planets, so starbase them. Step3. If you like starbasing everything, starbase all worlds with the government upgrade, but you will still have no trade income from almost anywhere because the Novalith shot lasts 30 minutes (in theory, I think on faster settings
I think premade maps have identical planets, maybe the amount of resources are not the same, so I think a custom made mirrored map would be the fairest for those who want to play in this competition with identical number and ratio of crystal and metal asteroids, to be the fairest and not to give anyone a real starting advantage, even competitive maps are random in the middle of the map, and can be a huge difference if two same level skilled person plays against each other. This way the small
