Just take a lot of LRMs into the priate base along with level 5 or higher titan and mop up

Yes, playing your mod, which is pretty sweet BTW. Hmm...I didn't know that about the militia in standard Sins. Seems a fair trade off, then. Thanks for the info.

Played TEC Rebels for the first time today..pretty neat. I eventually got steamrolled by the AI because I didn't know what techs to prioritize, but they are fun to play. As far as strategy, I jut rushed their awesome diplomacy techs that allows them to get free units from the pirates. This gave me the biggest fleet, but I expanded too quickly and couldn't defend all my ground. Anyway, what should I prioritize after that, you think? Defense or offen

Tec Loyalists: Expand as fast as possible, and then fortify. Build your defenses to a point where the enemy just keeps breaking his fleets against you. That's what you want, a war of attrition. Once you have your titan, you can start doing raids on poorly defended planets. Expand slowly, and use your Novelith to weaken the enemy from afar. Also, naturally, you want to build 2 star bases in all key grav wells, and use the Big Red Button to destroy entire flee

Downloading now...I can't wait to try this!

Any time!

I built a quick and dirty Brown Coat titan model in ZBrush that came out @ 8k polys. I think Zbrush will work fine Sins models. There's really no need to subdivide more than twice here. I'll ask Major Stress for the poly limit of each ship class.

Sounds like a great idea, especially late game when you've maxed out on cap ships. Gotta spend all that loot that you get from terran planets somehow. I really like that the cannon can't be built unless the player holds 4 worlds. It makes it a late-game super weapon again.

If its a multi-star system, great :).

Will do, thanks.

Ok, thanks. Since most of the detail comes from the texture, I think I can get by with using zBrush at the very lowest subdivision levels. I'll have to check. The thing is, its a lot faster to work in Zbrush.

Yeah, sounds like you want Vasari Loyalist. -Destroy planets, robbing your opponent of resource asteroids and space for orbital labs and commerce stations -Disable the opponent's orbital structures with a super weapon, and then fly into the affected gravity well via the temporary phase gate it creates. -Go completely mobile, bringing the entire force of your entire empire into a single gravity well -Defend your gravity wells with mobile star

Here is a map for it if you wish to use it. I'm going to remake this map since I think, unless I'm mistaken, the "verse" is one huge star system. Also, I think this was last updated for Entrenchment.

Awesome, looking forward to it. If you are in a system with a yellow star, you can fly your fleet into it and restore your shields. Man, I know wayyyy too much about this game now.

This is a great resource Bashimi, thanks. I'll go through the lists and update the OP on what is known about each faction ASAP. Thanks again. @ everyone: Does anyone know what the polygon limit is per model? or just a general figure? I'd much rather use ZBrush, but it tends to want to make very high polygon models. Thanks

I finished my map and have released it here: https://forums.sinsofasolarempire.com/431141 I may tweak it a bit, and if I do, I'll update it.

Hey guys, I just completed a new map for all of the Vasari "Death Fleet" fans. I designed this map to provide a real challenge to the experienced Vasari Loyalist players. Here's the recommended setup, and the map description is at the bottom. I've tested it out, and it may need a bit of tweaking, but its certainly playable right now. Setup: 1. Play as Vasari Loyalist only . Any other race WILL DIE. 2. Set each AI as

Advent is generally the least popular, as many people think they are under powered. Sorry I can't offer any openings for them, I'm sure someone will stop by soon and help you out.

That would be awesome. I'll get a few models completely finished so that we might be able to drum up some more interest.

Thanks!

You conveniently left out the Preacher. If I was writing a show, I wouldn't want you watching it. Don't judge a show by its characters..judge it by its entertainment value. All of those elements come together to form a theme and an ambiance. I guess you prefer black and white characters, rather than shades of gray. Kailey may have been a "slut," but she was by far the best human being among the crew.

@ Xathos, you are ignoring the realities of the TV and movie business. Just because something isn't as commercial as something else, doesn't mean it isn't great. Great shows like Firefly get cancelled and muck like Andromeda stays on for 5 years because most of the TV audience are stupid, and don't want to have to do any kind of thinking. And before you point out that shows like House MD stay on the air..consider that they are really soap operas wrapped around an

Well, like I said, I can do textures and models, although a few more artists on the team would be nice, and I'm rusty with the whole actually-getting-the-models-to-work-in-game-thing. I did make some custom models for my own personal use for the Stargate Invasion mod and got them working in-game. Here's a list of the tools that I'm proficient to expert in: Adobe Photoshop Adobe Illustrator ZBrush 3DS Max I am also a wr

Andromeda had a lot of potential, premise-wise. Poor execution, imho.. The show had two strong philosophical threads running through it: the Magog and the Nietzscheans. Roddenberry's trademark, I guess.

I think if you watch Firefly with an open mind, you'll agree that it was victim of network stupidity. If that show were just being developed now for HBO or Showtime, it would be huge because of how much grittier it would be.
