[quote who="52500" reply="117" id="2438650"]So really what you are saying is that everyone knew what we were talking about except you. And if there is any unit in.the.game. that had a purpose in being spammed it is your "basic assault ship". Which means that in the beginning of the game when you can only build one ship to defend or attack in any reasonable amount it is going to be your BASIC ASSAULT FRIGATE. Which, shockingly, is what we have been talking about for 5 effing p

i always rule out scouts for some reason. (In fact, i hadn't even realized the damage bonuses vs units on any ship until i read it here.) It definitely sounds like a better way to go, since you could build a decent strike force that you can move around, being cheaper in the long run. My only complaint is it will take up supply points i desparately need early-game, as i try for a 2nd cap, and therefore must research 1st level fleet increase.

Reply to Vasari skirmisher tests in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

so would i if i could go ICO, but i keep getting something about a mesh not lining up or some bull. After that, i'd need a couple practice games to catch up with ICO Strategies. Not sure how all fast, normal, slow speeds will have an effect, since the same stuff will happen over a longer timeline. (No advantage for either player) I do not concider myself a pro either, but some results are better than none.

Reply to best starting path in Strategy Sins Forums

If pirates are active, on a large map, hangar defense is also important. 1 on each planet, all fighters. (Takes out enemy siege, too.) Only viable on large, where you'll face more than 1 raid. Keep in mind i have not expierienced the Ironclad Online Multiplayer, only a few local LAN games with a friend, so i don't know many of the common strategies. I know expierienced players don't generally use siege, but i like to throw a couple AI into the mix when I MP,

[quote who="Itharus" reply="19" id="2439262"]I hope that some day they actually give us dimensions on their vessels... because I know this game is not to scale in any way shape or form. I mean really, the Jarrasul would have to be several times the size of a Kol, lol... of course then it'd have several times the hitpoints, you'd think... and that would be imba as hell in game . [/quote] Yeah, if it were to scale, the Jarrasul would be about the size of the TEC SB.

Skirmisher: Yay DPS (Amish's 12.5 seems reasonable, it would compliment the ship's other overpowering stats compared to the other two, and negate the need for a supply decrease) By overpowering, i am simply refering to it's superior starting hull/armor/shields, not superiority of the ship. I'm bowing out on that thread. Yay reintigration fix. (60% ish sounds about right) Nay others Also, i don't know it it's a bug, but i've expierienced a signific

Sins vs Andromeda in Everything Else Sins Forums

Which would win, any 1 SoaSE Capitol ship, or a Commonwelth Glorious Heritage Class Cruiser like the Andromeda Ascendant or a DSX Attack Cruiser like Wrath of the Achilles (Commonwelth Starship Killer)? (Note, i am NOT asking about the Andromeda herself, i mean an identical ship with a different crew.)

if you're all basing your strength and weakness on the number of supply point, then say that. the way these have all been written you're just saying it's weak and expecting everyone to read your mind. and yes, EVERYONE in MP is repurposing units. spamming itself is repurposing because you're just trying to focus on one ship type to beat your opponent instead of actually coming up with a decent strategy that benefits from all your units. ex. an army of snipers

how can you say the ship itself is weak when it is undiputably the STRONGEST on the list? Only its fleet cost is unbalanced. The ship isn't weak, it's just easy to outnumber them. You're trying to compare a bear to a pack of wolves here, and not sounding very intelligent in the process. as i've stated before, here and in other posts, the ship is only easily beaten because people try to use it incorrectly. Being able to use the same tactics with all

Reply to [DEVS READ]The AI and siege frigates - messed up and irritating beyond belief in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

i don't have problems with the siege frigs in SP. I usually find a choke point in the random maps and put a second tier fleet there as soon as possible, using a 2nd capitol ship to clear grav wells after my 3rd planet or so. I also research hangars soon, and put 1 at each planet IMMEDIATELY, using both squads for fighters to counter the 1-5 siege that sometimes get through my blockade. A starbase with fighters at my blockade helps too.

lol! I didn't even notice that! Perhaps it's an omen of some sort... btw, that was a f***ed up corruption. Bravo. As for your wish, granted. Post #666 was yours by right as you won it in a secret drawing you were not aware you had even entered. Unfortunately, i do not acknowledge such things and beat you to the punch. I wish you had come up with a better corruption than the one you did...
