[quote who="SithLordAJ" reply="41" id="3380769"]in regards to the OP what do people do to create/practice Micro tactics and such? I would imagine multiplayer is not the most conducive format for this.[/quote] You play MP game and you die or barely come trough winning. After game is finished you go and watch replay of said game and see what you could do better and what enemy did to beat you. Then assimilate or adapt to strategy

All testing in this regard is pointless as health bars are not true show and tell how much health is left and how much damage is left in whole fleet squadrons as number of strike craft vary therefore 1 killed bomber on vasari will make heavier dent in total health and dmg loss than advent. I do wonder what is the rate of the build of sc vary between races or 1 bomber (not squadron) takes same time to be build in vasari and advent..... You could see where I am going....

Advent loyal late game with decent lvl titan and few lvl 4 capitals is almost unstoppable to everything but vasari bomber spam with phase missiles fully researched. Problem is not really bombers but engine and his management of fighters which are supposed to counter bombers. I don't know how code is written but it seems that half of the time fighters are just flying and not shooting at anything. Either target selection is coded poorly or lag causes some fighter related calculation

[quote who="Seleuceia" reply="6" id="3381572"]I don't think it's even necessary to change the weapon type of Vasari bombers...reduce their base damage just like everything else with PMs to compensate for the shield bypassing....[/quote] I dont think that is a good idea. If you nerf damage they will be useless until you get your shield bypass research

Well it was 4v4 and both of them were eco..... And you see i never fought those titans I cultured them out :P

Only problem advent have is kosutra jump and phase missiles on bombers. Change from phase missiles to whatever vasari HC are using and it will be fine EDIT: and fyi me as advent loyal was able to win against 2 VR lvl 10 titans with carrier spamm. True they were on defensive whole game and had no kosutra but they had phase inhibitors everywhere and one of them was spamming star bases .... I won by spamming love cannons .... 3 can win youn game easily if

[quote who="DA_YAZ" reply="10" id="3379799"]The solution? Give the ankylon a massive and i mean massive boost in firepower. Give it the ability to go head to head against fleets solo (like the ragnarov) ... but only in your own gravity well. Make disruption matrix one shot light frigates in your own territory, but barely remove the shield of light frigates in an enemy world.[/quote] OK do that and then try to kick ass tec loyal eco player or tec loyal player that gets feed for t

[quote who="Seleuceia" reply="28" id="3379226"]Even when the Orky is in a position to fire from multiple banks, it automatically tilts itself, and the only possible way to prevent it from doing so is to constantly press cancel order...my disciples are just always so clustered that no matter what the Orky does it cannot separate them...[/quote] Try constantly issue move order to orky so its path goes trough enemy fleet. What should happen is orky will push enemy fleet apart and move to

[quote who="JinglyGoo" reply="17" id="3378926"]Great post greg thank you! I didnt actually know about extractor colour trick so im very grateful for that! i agree with you 100% when you say its a game of counters. Every fair 1v1 comes down to it in Sins to determine the winner.[/quote] HEHE There is a lot of things you do not know. Like fact that 100 corvettes easily kill titan if he is alone so you do not need to run away from it and or spam armistice . [e

[quote who="56ktarget" reply="11" id="3378751"]I am not sure what you mean by this... are you saying its sometimes better to put factories/repairs down before extractors (which i sometimes do) to gain a tactical advantage? or... if not building extractors makes scouting difficult... in which case I am very confused as I thought planet info doesnt update automatically... [/quote] When you play a game and once you have map scouted but still not all

Once planet was discovered look at resource extractor colour. This way you can monitor in which direction and how fast enemy is expanding without scouting. You cannot rely on "front-line scouting" in this way as most skilled use this trick and they build factories or defences before they build extractors so they do not give themselves out.

Just read an article about USA spying on EU and EU putting pressure on Ecuador regarding his asylum.... I find it funny that everyone is blaming Snowden for espionage and trying to pressure Ecuador not to give him safe heaven when EU should really help him out as in reality he did everyone a favour.... I guess what you don't know doesn't hurt just reached new heights

Couldn't you make those upgrades as passive abilities on cap ships transformed into SB s that cost resources? Instead of lvl 4 purchase ability you could make 10 or 100 if that isn't hard coded as well?

Why cant you just replace normal ships with starbases models and accompanied stats descriptions etc and set their fleet supply to ..... And make everything else not available to build.....

You know.... But yeah I haven't noticed sun income so I wrongly assumed you set them up on trade line only. Perhaps you could optimize trade line a bit more though [e digicons]}:)[/e] [e digicons]:grin:[/e]

you had some planets you could set double sb on left so 6000 was completely doable

update pause automatically if you have game running ....

Maw is not limited to how many ships it can suck in.

And Vasari player crying begins....

Big ship? are you talking about titans? If so yeah titans especially high lvl and especially vasari will take your defences down very fast if there is no fleet present.

I played random huge and had 70 % all planets terran ...

There is a way to kill Vorastra. Drain it of AM but that means your drain am ships need to survive long enough.....

I have I7 with base of 2.7GHz OC to 4 GHz. I do have custom water cooling loop on it. With 100% load (prime torture test) temp reaching about 61 degrees Celsius. This OC enable me to play smooth games until about 1h into the game on huge random maps with 1 player and 9 vicious all settings faster. Keep in mind vicious max their fleet (2000 fleet supply) 20 min into the game. Not sure what actual game time is because I change game speed as needed....

You can try to OC your processor as GHz on single core are best remedy for late game lag. As for devs optimizing it Yes they did a good job with last patch for diplo but then they added more content with Rebelion and improved graphic so that set them back to same square before that update
