Now I have to assume every unknown poster is Sinkillr/ragnorak/"insertanotheraliashere" :D ... And likely trolling as well.
[quote]Potential Myth 1: Scouts allow for faster expansion than light frigates Has anyone actually tested this? It seems to be the case but I learned a long time ago not to take anything for granted in sins.[/quote] Well this is an interesting one, many highly skilled players say with scouts it is faster to expand, but when I played online I never really used them for this purpose (only when my full fleet was needed somewhere really early in the game) and was
[quote who="RagnorakEviscerator" reply="14" id="3461753"]If you blow up all the scout ships at the same time, shield mitigation will stay at the lowest value.[/quote] Can you show me a replay where you actually managed to kill ANYTHING IMPORTANT with only suicide scoutsin a real battle? That ability sucks, mitigation makes it ridiculously weak and you cannot just simply order every scout to use this at the same time (without hitting pause which is not a good idea agains
How could his name change after my first comment????? I replied to this post that was made by Tywin_idunnowho and now it says Ragnorak made this post. I did not know someone can change his username on these forums or wtf is happening? Is Sinkillr a wizard?
As far as I know you cannot withdraw given karma, only some bugs and glitches may do it, but that is never intentional.
There are many ways of enjoying the game. One way is being the most efficient, even if this means spamming early in the game, and it helps against AI as well to have a big fleet when you meet them, and a stronger eco to supply this. Countering is extremely easy, spam ships as they do, just in different fleet composition (against Ligh Frigates spam long range, against corvettes spam light frigates, and so on). Or if you really hate this, play again
[quote who="56ktarget" reply="7" id="3461237"]Please excuse Goafan, he is one of the chief trolls on this forum. Even if he isn't trolling this topic, he hardly ever plays multiplayer, which means his understanding of the deeper strategies of the game is rather limited. [/quote] What is wrong with Goafan's previous reply? I see nothing stupid in it. Please stop derailing a normal line of comments with your rather negative attitude, even without helping the poor
[quote who="RagnorakEviscerator" reply="7" id="3461199"]You dont even play online.[/quote] Partly correct, I used to play online, and I was (and maybe still) a good player, never kicked from skilled games and not a fat boy (picked last).

[quote who="RagnorakEviscerator" reply="28" id="3460849"] This should really be unstickied because all it is doing is just confusing new players.[/quote] True, it is not really the most up-to-date thing, but before mentioning unstickying it, you could have asked the OP to make this uptodate and specify what parts are not correct? Like the Maw ability that was radically changed. Or do you have other problems with this?
[quote who="RagnorakEviscerator" reply="5" id="3460845"]Dunov should be the first. It is undeniably the most powerful and versatile ship in the game.[/quote] If a new player who visits the forum sees your comments and actually believes you, that will do not much good, not everyone can realize trolling. Seriously, a Dunov is a bad choice for a starter even if you face the AI.. Slows down your expansion, it's abilities are not really useful in the early game and lacks firepo
You cannot select combat ships, civilian ships or strike craft at the same time. You need to select the protev after you select combat units, hold down shift and select the protev if you want it to have it in selection with your cobalts. This feature prevents you from accidentally sending starbase constructors and colony frigates into battle when you select numerous ships at once (if you have ogrovs or starfish you may see something similar if you forget having them, they go where you

[quote who="NewDealLiberal" reply="49" id="3457179"]Buff the akkan, nobody uses that trash ship.[/quote] Nobody? Who are those people you are refering to? Are you serious?... The Akkan is the (second) best TEC capital ship, almost vital in the early game and useful asset late game. In skilled multi I haven't seen a differing starter than Akkan or sometimes Marza as TEC. And I don't think in a half year suddenly all the other capital ships

WUT Seriously, that is the biggest problem if you don't leave the game if you only have a few planets left, and a couple of ships, only the very best players can do something about it (forgive me as I am unfamiliar with the current rankings to know who are the best nowadays). Not everyone finds it fun to roam the map hopelessly with his small task force and trying to build up one or two planets somewhere if his team is suffering at all fronts (fun level is lower than starting a ne

Why do I always miss the more interesting posts on these forums lately?... This looks kinda awesome! This cartoonish style is simply amazing, and that black and white version is just.. no words for that :) You do have some real talent lol.
[quote who="Procumbo" reply="2" id="3446330"]Hey, thanks for the response. I've found starbases to be pretty effective, but often the AI doesn't cooperate by suiciding their fleet into my defenses. In a few games I've played recently they just hang back on their planets. I control far more territory, but it's very difficult to launch an attack because they've amassed a huge force in their own gravity wells. I'm finding it very tough to break through in these situations
Step 1. build starbases on chokepoints as fast as you can, you will see the benefits. Step 2. profit from the stupidity of the AI and laugh as he sacrifices whole fleets on your defenses. Step 3: defend starbase from anti-structure cruisers, after some time the AI realises those are good against starbases and starts to build them in big numbers. Step 4: build your own fleet and go hunting, preferably after the last major defeat of you opponent at the hands of your star

E4X? I remember that this mod has the changed mines, dealing hull damage constantly instead of blowing up, am I right? If yes, then this is a feature not a bug. Send some scouts and kill the mines, thats all.

[quote who="N3rull" reply="46" id="3430765"]Tell me, why would you lose the Progenitor first? To enemy guns shooting it, perhaps? Guns that you can tell to do otherwise? Of course there are strikecraft to be taken into account, which you should deal with by other means (fighters, flaks, tele push, perseverance, SP, SR... some of that should do. Or just cast vengeance on their target as they make their pass, that's the most trollish way to do it imo).[/quote]
