Perhaps in last month or two game changed but here is my 5 cents Start of the game spam lf and keep scouting him if you see him building lrms go for corvettes yourself As why not to build flak early on needs to be in sufficient numbers to be effective they are easy to counter and you will loose them fast if you do not micro well enough they need heavy and proper micro management (eg hold position keep them clustered together

Yes it does. To see the chain legs zoom out to see planets and hover mouse over credits. White line is your trade chain....

I am not complaining about 5$ Compared to before when I played 4 5s daily I just don't play this game any more. I load this once a week and that is a lot. Most of the times I don't even start a game. Balance wise what I like the most is vasari weapon build rate increase on sbs so I imagine sb rush is much harder to pull off. I do think desperation would need am to work though. I don't really know what changes to desperation do other than they do not include corvetes but I

Not me. IMO they are just milking the name and game a bit to much.

[quote who="RiddleKing" reply="30" id="3347276"]It does no good vs halcyon carriers so you will die vs a player like Masteria1 because detonate anti-matter doesn't affect the passive ability "Adept Drone Anima"[/quote] .... every player used to die to master1a no mater what cap ship he used as an opener ....

[quote who="JinglyGoo" reply="5" id="3334550"]Well KoK has 2 strategies he uses nowadays almost exclusively both involve capping 0 planets. 1. Rush ankylon + some carriers/ hcs and get blocked in on the hw or 2. Rush Sova/Kol + vettes to double the closest guy etc... Leave/flame when it fails I have yet to see it work even against players i would consider low/mid skill. Position is irrelevant, last game he doubled me with gibbs fro

Civ 2 Way above everything else

as to those who want to be skilled in 5v5 these days on frontline..... Pick vasari loyalists hope that you have 3 neutrals near by otherwise ask for feed Build SB!!! If it dies build another one in same gravity well, If that one dies build another one ..... After you secured enemy asteroid/moon with SB start building towards titan. Once titan build go level it up on pirate base. Attach 10 overseers to it. If its already harvested be a bit careful un

@Turchany These days even KOK and kbroke are considered skilled [e digicons]:P[/e]

[quote who="RiddleKing" reply="9" id="3329177"]I dont give a rats *** about whose chasing the vasari. All i want to know is when this game is going to get an engine upgrade because its performing horribly on the new cutting edge micro-chips and ssds out now. I find that a fourth race is only going to dampen spirits and make it more complicated and crowded.[/quote] Not to mention even more screw up the balance. PS I think that all those hints of clues in code is jus

LOL Mecha Rest In Peace

Balance !!!!

[quote who="RiddleKing" reply="74" id="3327996"]5V5 hurts these days? [/quote] HeHeHe Yeah I heard it does. Especially ones that are China vs ICO Skilled. There is huge demand for certain lube these days. But then I guess ICO regulars have to scrape from the bare bottom to fill their ranks. I even heard people who were 3 months ago kicked out of skilled 5s are now champions of first picks. Rumours...

HAHAHA There is just few (read 3-5) old pros who are still playing on the same skill level that they used to. Rest of us log on every now and then and we are rusty.... Until new balance patch SINS for me is a dead game

Malice works better because when you FF SB it will deal DMG to any supporting ships

How many time I used lvl 6 tit only to jump in micro jump eat and then run out without any support fleet. And I wasn''t the only one that did that. And yes 15 seconds is long enough to avoid maw at least with bulk of your fleet. As for desperation and vasari fleet that is entirely different matter.

[quote who="slowreflex" reply="6" id="3318670"]To a degree....I'd say repulsion ain't too shabby when you consider you can only have ONE ankylon that can't possibly keep up with the VL titan...[/quote] If you micro phase jump at right place repulse does not work.... Yes you can have only one ankylon but for unwary he will micro jump to your fleet and if you surprise him you have a window of opurtunity to run or try to smipe titan with fleet that is still ther

TEC Loyalists are only race that has MAW counter....

Hamsters were on break. The break is over now.

[quote who="SageWon" reply="16" id="3314633"] Quoting Seleuceia, reply 15I could have sworn it was confirmed in Trinity that the replacement AIs were normal (tried looking for the thread, haven't found it), which leads me to believe that this was a Rebellion change... No, I believe the replacement AI is a 'Hard' AI, and this has always been case, (even before Rebellion). Thus the replacement AI gets 1.5X (one and a half times) our income/metal

You could OC processor..... GHz are what SINS craves after not multicore, hyper threading or insane amounts of RAM
