Warlord Mike

[quote who="DesConnor" reply="65" id="2659182"]There's a list of limited changes that might improve the weakest abilities, nothing radically new. For legal reasons I'd like to make it clear that one of the suggestions was originally made by Warlord Mike. [/quote] Just out of curiosity, would that be the suggestion to Clairvoyance? As to the rest of your most recent post, those are some good points - maybe 20/35/50 construct boost would be

Heya, peoples! Well, as the title says, when you're ready to claim victory over your opponents (be it single player or multi), what do you like to do as a finishing move? For me, it varies from race to race (bear in mind that I only play single player, so odds are that the following tactics wouldn't work as well in Multi): TEC - I set up a massive "Novalith Network," then start flinging those warheads left and right. I call it the "Fan of Death" due to its appear

[quote who="GoaFan77" reply="2" id="2616191"] Quoting Greyfox2, reply 1With the HUGE amount of vasari skirantra bomber spam and carrier cap spam in general, you are pretty much stuck with having to get a carrier cap to start with. There is little way around it. If there is a vasari beside you, expect to see at least 2 skirantras with scramble bomber spamming. The best way to respond is generally get carrier cruisers with bombers yourself or go lrm spam with some flak an

NOTE: I am using the latest version of Entrenchment (1.051 as of this posting), and playing single-player I used to be able to play all 3 sides equally well - but now it seems like I can only play Vasari with any real success. The crazy thing is, I haven't changed my tactics at all (or as little as I can remember). For TEC it's been: Get Akkan Battlecruiser Tech Civ to level 2 Secure Asteroid with Akkan Build fleet of Cobalts

Great music so far, guys! =) Alright, now for some boss music (WARNING: POSSIBLE SPOILERS): Vs. The Shake King (Wario Land: Shake It!/The Shake Dimension) The Eon Sanctum (Boss Battle 2) (Smash Bros. Brawl) Wielder of the Dark Prognosticus (Count Bleck Battle) (Super Paper Mario) <a href="http:

Okay, so first off, just generic background music: Terran 3 (Starcraft) Hell March (Red Alert 1) GF Tension (Metroid Prime 3) Glittertown (Wario Land: Shake It! / The Shake Dimension) <a href="http://www.youtube.com/wat

n/t, obviously. Whether or not this has been posted before, I decided on a whim to make it. Post LINKS , please - do NOT embed videos. As this is a topic about what others have heard, this topic will contain spoilers. You have been warned.

Des... [e digicons]:omg:[/e] That... Is... BRILLIANT! [e digicons]:thumbsup:[/e] [e digicons]k1[/e] Provoke Hysteria really is a rather crap ability, as it stands - but -1% allegiance/second?! Now THAT'S an ability. The idea for Clairvoyance is also an interesting idea - I already foresee people "bugging" trade ships for information. Of course, we've already spoken a little on Guidance and what to do with that, so I won't mention that, a

[quote who="kapeman" reply="55" id="2597008"] Loved that one!!! Here is my vote for number 1! Fallout!!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WkBNKa2KXZE[/quote] Umm...dude, I kinda already posted that video... [e digicons]^_^'[/e]

What, no mention of Fallout or Fallout 3 ? For shame! Also, Diablo II is another good one - then again, just about ANYTHING Blizzard makes is made of win. Two that I'd personally like to nominate, however, have to be the intros for Re

So, Darvin, if you don't mind calculating for that second level, what would the numbers be, then? I'm asking this purely out of curiosity - it's perfectly fine if you'd rather not spend that much time to re-compute.

[quote who="DesConnor" reply="56" id="2593694"]The link provided to the Guidance suggestion was.. mildly confusing. A lowered cost for abilities would make as much sense as faster AM regeneration and would be easier to implement, though. Then it could perhaps be balanced using Flux Field. [/quote] Oh. Sorry for the confusion. [e digicons]^_^'[/e] But that said, I think that's another viable move - lowering the AM cost of ab

[quote who="DesConnor" reply="51" id="2592725"]Might it be possible for you to repeat your concept of Guidance, rather than just provide a link, to avoid any confusion?[/quote] Not at all, good sir. ^_^ My idea was that in addition to lowering the cooldown on the abilities, the affected ship would get a small AM regeneration boost, as well. How much is up for discussion, though.

[quote who="DesConnor" reply="47" id="2581716"]I suspect that Warlord Mike's concept is more likely. You can't be sued for repeating someone else's suggestion if its adopted in a game, can you? [/quote] Nope, sure can't. And it makes sense, doesn't it Des? [quote who="DesConnor" reply="47" id="2581716"]The problem with the Egg is as much about the initial Vasari advantage with neutral extractors as about sheer combat power, though buffin

[quote who="DesConnor" reply="44" id="2581670"] With Guidance, how about a small buff to antimatter restore rates as well? [/quote] That's what I proposed, as well - check my post here , if you're interested.

Lessee here... NO-TOUCHYS (i.e., I have no opinion on): Jam Weapons Shield Restore Phase Out Hull Adaptive Forcefield Now, with that said, my opinions: Animosity: I like the code-changing idea. Doesn't sound difficult, and works well. Gauss Rail Gun: Y'know, I only just realized how oxymoronic this ability is (see the wiki articles for differences in the Gauss

Mars, hands down. Why do you think it's such a popular planet in Sci-Fi? [e digicons]:P[/e] For another thing, it'd be easier to terraform Mars than it would be Venus.

*gets on own soapbox* My inputs: Jarrasul's Colonize: It's been said before, but I'm saying it again for all to be reminded. As of now, the Akkan gets free extractors, plus up to double extraction rates with its colonize. The Progenitor gets up to half-off the price for planetary upgrades. The Jarrasul gets...faster build rate? That's it? Seriously, now, in comparison to the other two, the colonize ability is just crap as

Thanks for all the input, guys - I'm hoping I land an internship (mech. engineering, here I come!) this summer, and if I do, I hope that I'll earn enough cash to get me a new lappy with the earnings.

I have an Intel(R) GMA 950 card - I got the lappy at Costco, as an aside, and I have NO idea how to read video cards, as-is... [e digicons]^_^'[/e]

Well, that depends on how you wanna define "GG." I have 3 takes on it: TAKE 1: "GG" signifying the game was well and truly an epic fight, and whether or not you lost, it was a good time nonetheless. TAKE 2: "GG" signifying an event that, should it come to pass, pretty much means the other side pretty much has no choice but to wave the white flag of humility. TAKE 3: "GG" signifying the common phrase used when the game's over. For take 1, a lot of Castle F

Hey, peoples! Alright, I realize that this probably isn't the place to ask this, but, hear me out for a second. As the title says, I'm looking around for a new lappy that, when I get some money, will be able to run Sins properly. Don't get me wrong, Sins does indeed run on it - but apparently, according to the "Can you run it?" website ( link is here ), I'm missing a hardware component called "vertex shader," a

For reasons others stated, I think the fact you get metal and crystal when your HW extractors are under construction is probably fine as-is. For one thing, it makes sense - sure, they're not TECHNICALLY done, but the population on your homeworlds likely allows for civilians to come and pick up what resources they can and ship 'em back planetside. Two, it helps get the ball rolling and you're not COMPLETELY helpless in regards to being low on metal or crystal.

For all intents and purposes, this may as well be a fanfic. So, I'm fine with it, and here are a few things from my mod...
