[quote who="Seleuceia" reply="13" id="3280568"]Unfortunately, there are a lot of things in the manual that are completely irreconcilable with actual gameplay....in this case, strikecraft most certainly can dodge sentinel fire...it suffers the same accuracy penalties all anti-strikecraft ships suffer (these values can be seen in the gameplay.constants file)...[/quote] Yeah, sure the manual has some errors, but I didn't mean to use it for finding out about actual in-game values but

The first idea is to change the repulsion ability (Iconus Guardian) so it deflects incoming Missiles for the duration of half its cool down. Anoth

I've been playing Sins since the original release and always liked the idea that you could create your own worlds for the game. But I could never get the hang of using the GalaxyForge especially since it's almost impossible to create randomized maps there. (But what's the fun in playing a map, when you know where everything is?)
