Agree with Sanchez on this. I don't fit the main criteria, but I am able to out-troll Huy when needed. :) Just like I see Doci starting up his swastika clan with Grimm and a couple others....why? What is the point? Do you expect that there will be people tripping over themselves for huge clan matches? The top players lists that usually get published by random players a couple times per year tend to be reasonably accurate and over time people notice ce

Just last night my Vorastra titan came in to save the day for my fleet and within the span of 2 minutes leveled up from 1 to 6 and I certainly needed it because for as much damage as my fleet was dishing out, it was taking a pounding. Upon seeing it hit level 6 I immediately leveled up and manually targeted the maw. It activates, I'm happy as can be now, except all the enemy fleet is just being ejected out the backside rather than vaporized at the 'mouth' of the titan

Damn, I didn't even make troll tier. [e digicons] Btw last week I scuttled my HW within 5 minutes, similar to KoK of old and tried to make my vasari fleet truly "on the move". Sadly this strategy will need some improvement.

I don't care if he reads the forums here or not; this is more of an informative post for everyone else on his latest stunts he's trying to pull.

So last night a pretty decent 5s got started. I don't recall everyone, but on our side was myself, Huymac, Khan, schlongdis and Goodlife. The opposing side includes Sleeper, Nimitz42(?), jbaum, darkiconus and i forget the last guy. Unfortunately I don't have a recording to post, but perhaps schlong might as he was the last guy to stay with me. Anyway the game gets off to a decent start and both sides seem equally matched. After a period o

I just wanted to tell you gg. Love, Uberstew

So this thread is for recommending other players who, in your opinion, have demonstrated good teamworking skills during a multiplayer game. Comp stomps don't count and if possible please post a recording of the game that shows how well they did. I appreciate knowing this information as it helps form a better team for future 5s games and it also helps others wanting to improve their game so they know what to look for. I'd like to recommend 2 people, first Zl

[quote who="Blair Fraser" reply="4" id="3388510"] Its true we have gotten a lot of praise over the user interface so I'm surprised to read this - HOWEVER - it is true that is could use some more love. I have a big list of improvements I'd like to implement but they will likely have to wait for a sequel. I have plans to completely redesign the empire tree for example. Watching how other people play it on youtube over the last few years (yes I watch many of the 'let's play

[quote who="GoaFan77" reply="4" id="3387614"] It's pretty easy to fix the 5s games in theory though... nerf bombers hard enough to be taken out of the metagame except as Cap/HC counters. [/quote] And this addresses the LF/vette spam how? [e digicons]:grin:[/e]

[quote who="ARESIV" reply="1" id="3386859"] Independent of DLC sales are the limits of the game engine. With 2 GB of RAM being the possible maximum, the devs are rather limited on stuff that can be added without hitting said limit in large games. Being a single CPU software as well, lag is also an issue.[/quote] Plenty of skilled 5s games are already lagging, which sucks because there are often decisive battles taking place at choke points that truly do need to be

I posted a similar complaint in this forum several months ago. Long story short, I had played Sins years earlier and just got back into it again and figured I was still good to go. Nope, I sucked. I got kicked, and rightfully so because when i did make it into games of 5s, some of the more aggressive folks were killing me within 15 minutes. I could either whine about it or I could learn and now I don't get killed so easily. I'm not up to the levels of Doc

[quote who="Ohoh2" reply="21" id="3387483"] My Story: Joined ICO with 0 wins, 0 losses maybe 2-3 months ago. Now I have 221 hours play time (9.2 Days), Over 150 games played, Over 50 wins, 5 Losses (because I stopped surrendering and just quit when I get doubled or fail to scout the neighbor fleeting). I have noob stats if you can tell but I'm ok for now So what did I do right up to now? "I li

The arguments made in the OP suggest he has been battling opponents pretty skilled with Vasari and/or getting feed whereas he may need to improve his skills with Advent. That seems to be the bottom line to me because in all the skilled multiplayer games I've been in the last month, Advent have had no issues with throwing the spam my way tacking up a loss on my stats.

So in other words nerf everything about Vasari that makes their ships and tech what they are? All because Advent gets a lot of damage from phase missiles? Nerf orky rushing? Seriously? It takes some serious skill to be able to do this stuff and still maintain some kind of eco and expansion. It seems obvious you were playing against a pretty skilled vasari player and you just need to improve your skills on advent. Read my thread that I

[quote who="morvegil" reply="9" id="3379179"] Well my biggest problem is ECO sucks balls. Even if I get a jump on them they show up minutes later with liek double my fleet and wipe my orky or fly by it. LF spam? Is that the Missle frigates?>[/quote] I am still of the opinion Vasari in general has inadvertently been nerfed in the LF area compared to other factions; see my thread for my gripes. With that said I still haven't given up

[quote who="ZombiesRus5" reply="4" id="3380349"] What was nerfed exactly?[/quote] It's an unintentional nerf is what I'm getting at. Small improvements made during updates or patches, etc. for various TEC/Advent stuff have resulted in (my opinion) a nerf of Vasari capabilities. But do keep in mind my main complaint here is that LRFs are now essentially useless in every multiplayer game I've played recently.

Yeah, a couple years ago Vasari were kicking ass everywhere but enough people cried about it and now they are sucking. They're all I ever play. Now I'm sure some people will come along and tell me to just learn to play another race....whatever. So enough people have played with me to know that I'm not the greatest in 5s, but I don't entirely suck either. Since the last few patches pretty much every faction is doing LF spam out the ass.&

As a public service annoucement to all Sins players, if you're ever attacking your enemy and you come across a mine field, be sure to clear it out with ships that can withstand the damage or use something else like carriers, etc. As I'm sure the talk has already made the rounds, I lost the majority of my vette/assailant/skirmisher fleet trying to kill kbroke's titan this weekend. His titan was literally down to about 900 points of hull left before going boom...

Another great 5s tonight! Certainly could have went either way, but props to Jingly, Vet and Camaro essentially taking on the remaining 5 on the other team. https://www.dropbox.com/s/u6lhbwoxg5bwakw/AutoRecord-06222122.recordreb link should work now

Had a great one just a little while ago. I'm on the flank and could have easily been overrun...definitely could have went either way but thanks to Suz and Lepar I managed to hold out. Also props to abc for keeping me on my toes the whole time. https://www.dropbox.com/s/nttnpon10scv7w2/AutoRecord-06212056.recordreb

Is there a ranking somewhere I'm missing? I'll take another look on the forums. I play as Uberstew.

I would have posted a replay that happened I think just this past Friday. I was in a 5v5, Grimm and The_Hump were on my team...I don't recall the other two. Anyway, Grimm was really getting his ass hammered...I was the usual fat kid on our team, but it worked out because the fat kid on their team was right next to me, and he and I essentially had been fighting on and off to a stalemate, so not too much action on our side of the map. Grimm is then down to like 2, maybe ju

Got into a 5v5 typical game last night, some skilled, some noob. Amazingly the map placement started everyone off pretty evenly. As luck would have it, I ended up right next to Fuhrer, so he and I duked it out for the first 20 minutes. Fuhrer decided to use an Orky rush strategy on my HW which I was ill prepared for. Amazingly enough I managed to kill his Orky at the last minute, but lost my Evacuator. I breathed a little easier figuring I could manage the loss o

Sorry but I have to ask: [quote]Desperation (Vorastra Titan) no longer affects Corvettes; duration decreased from 45 to 15. The Maw (Vorastra Titan) no longer affects Corvettes; max target count reduced from unlimited to 15/30. Dissever (Kultorask Titan) no longer damages Corvettes.[/quote] Is there some reason why corvettes are essentially immune to the most powerful titan attacks the vasari can field? To me, this is akin to Stardock re-in

Yeah we'll see if some of the usual people who like to go around calling people smurfs, or booting someone from a game who's been waiting for it to start for 30 minutes all because when it got full, someone jumped on the channel and said "any room?"
