[quote who="NemoStardust" reply="113" id="3035389"]All this new stuff coming to the game (Titans, Corvettes), although cool and I´m really looking forward to it, really does't add more strategy to the game. They just ad more bang for the bucks. Fleet formation would ad another level of strategy.[/quote] While it is true that extra fleet formations would make for new options during the game, it is a bit obsolete. The fleets are already formed so that your anti-strike craft fr

[quote who="The-TEC-Empire" reply="4" id="3032596"]Truthfully, I would like to see Stardock PERSONALLY create the mysterious race of "Vasari Killing Monsters" possible a shootoff of Halo's "Flood". i would LOVE it if they incorporated a Halo-Like-Flood race to the game.[/quote] Maybe it's time for you to start playing the Halo mod that fans created for Sins.

I have never found the same artifact twice on a map. I didn't know that was even possible! [e digicons]o_O[/e]

[quote who="KrdaxDrkrun" reply="13" id="3032318"]I am working on something similar... I am adding particle effect flairs to planets to randomly generate weather and clouds and stuff. It's going rather well![/quote] Sounds cool. Let me know when you got something to show us! [e digicons]:)[/e]

[quote who="Thoumsin" reply="11" id="3031860"]By the way, the graphic engine have somehow change for rebellion... seem that they have a somehow real light system now... there is a topic where dev show two picture, one from trinity and one from rebellion... the quality improvement is really visible...[/quote] Yea I have seen the two pictures. It sure as hell looks a lot more real and the textures look a hell of a lot better. The shadowing is the coolest thing I believe. Now we can figh

I think there should be more artifacts in each game generally. Right now you need to have a map with about 100 planets to get all artifacts in the game. That simply sucks. If they would make it one artifact per 3 planets on average, you would need a map with only 36 planets to get all the artifacts into the game. Would be a lot cooler in my opinion.

I'd think the TEC Athena titan would be the most resistant to enemy attacks, since it's some sort of enormous fortress. However, I think the rebel TEC Titan will pack a hell of a punch. Cannot tell how good the Advent Cherubim (I assume it's Advent) and the Vasari Charibdis titans will do, since it is still unclear how large they are compared with the TEC ones. Though they probably both have some sort of cool superweapon on board. So, at this point I would go for the

Wow, that Art of Illusion program is pretty cool and could be used to create dozens of totally different planets. It is indeed too bad that the engine of Rebellion is the same engine that we already use for playing Sins, and that it is fairly limited in several ways.

It also happened to be not true. They clearly did not ask Stardock for confirmation on the stated release date, because Yarlen already mentioned it will be released in spring 2012 instead of december 1st. Besides, there already is a similar thread about the article on RTSGuru.com, so please make sure you check the other posts on the forum first before posting something you think is new...

It would be cool to have each frigate display a different number on it's side (in the case of TEC frigates at least) par example. It shouldnt be to hard to make a new variable that counts the numbers of frigates of the same type that are built. Then write some code that would have each frigate "paint" that variable on it's side as its very own number. Something as minor as that would already make each ship feel a lot more unique and shouldn't take too much time

[quote who="Greg30007" reply="32" id="3029540"]And please do something with resource focus for advent.[/quote] I agree with that. They should make some sort of smart autocasting on Resource Focus for Advent Trade Ports.

[quote who="ezeltje299" reply="66" id="3028947"]tbh, i have no clue what races will be in it etc... you got a good link to a post with alot of info about what is coming? ^^[/quote] Well there is no thread that really has all the info in it. But I suggest you check out the developer journals, which can be found here . Also, you should check out their facebook page, since that's the place where all the info is at and where

If they would be releasing new starbases, I think they would have mentioned it in their features list. [e digicons];P[/e]

[quote who="SemazRalan" reply="18" id="3027181"]Put in a campaign and let people go though the campaign in co-op mode. At least then there would be a storyline that could be built on in an entertaining way.[/quote] A co-op multiplayer campaign would be a cool feature. A good way to both improve the multiplayer scene and give players a chance to finally play a campaign (which has been requested by so many people) simultaneously.

Let us hope we will get a little more than a few blue tail light bulbs... [e digicons]:P[/e]

[quote who="RiddleKing" reply="6" id="3026808"]Semaz everytime you post code like that i want to punch you in the ballz. You don't break it down, put comments in different colors between the code to explain the workings and know how. I did programming too but this what your doing just puts people off from trying to look at it.[/quote] What he said.

A new update was released a few days back. Try installing that one. It features a more powerfull back end system to improve online performances.

[quote who="pallikari" reply="67" id="3026662"]I don't feel connected to the TEC, the Vasaari or the Advent. In fact, they're so unmemorable that I had to think to remember their names. Story is important and character development is part of any game. Adding a character such as a leader to a game goes a long way towards making it more memorable.[/quote] Maybe a few Titans will make you remember their names when they ravage your home planet

It is true that culture needs a bit of a buff. One thing I would like to see improved myself, is the Deliverance Engine. Ironically, I just finished a game versus the AI in which I had build 16(!) Deliverance Engines to defeat the last enemy player with. Even with 16 of those weapons, it took me well over an hour to get the allegiance on all of his planets (which were about 12 in total) to zero. This should of course happen a lot faster if you own so many superweapons. They cost

[quote who="Draakjacht" reply="57" id="3026233"]Someone else and I were addressing that in another thread. We both figured the respective creators were inspired by crustaceans. Not atypical.[/quote] I mentioned it in the News section of the forum immediately after I saw the new artwork. It's funny to see I'm not the only one noticing the resemblence.

[quote who="Ryat" reply="49" id="3026101"]Dec 21 2012 I believe. [spoiler]My wife's and I's 10th Anniversary as well.[/spoiler][/quote] I read that.[e digicons]:P[/e] Gratz in advance with your 9th year! [quote who="OWA89" reply="55" id="3026187"]the top one reminds me the reapers from ME [/quote] That's what it reminded me of too. The first thing I thought was: OMG they are going to bring Sovereign into the game! [e digicons]:grin:[/e]

To return to the original question: I do not think they should be removed. They are a part of the game as much as trade ports and make room for different strategic options during the game. And if you think they are useless, well, it is always your own choice to build them or not.

Versus AI players they are usefull indeed, but as Sanchez said, they are practically never built in multiplayer games.

[quote who="JayLee77" reply="15" id="3025375"]lol srry half my shit doesnt make sense cause i tried to type all of it in my iphone and for some reason the paragraphs r glued together....[/quote] Well sorry for the harsh comments in that case. I can imagine the paragraphs are sometimes messed up on a mobile phone. I use a Macbook myself and I noticed that he spacings between paragraphs differ from the posts I put on the forum when using Windows. But like ZombiesRus5 said, it is
