I too thought this is going to be about 7 DS mod. LOL

[quote]Uh, a note on smurfing...The online community is already pretty small. Without smurfs, it would just come down to "Which of these people I've played against a hundred times will I attempt to defeat this time." With smurfs, you never know who you're fighting, which keeps the mysteriousness of the game intact, because you don't know their strategy. -Twilight Storm[/quote] ROFL !!!! Yeah ...... without smurfing comunity count would drop to 20 people tot

ops double post

[quote] Now, I don't consider Zoom or Rat or the majority of the others as drama queens or unsavory types, but you have to consider the source when someone starts blathering about why Sins has caused them to have a hangnail, a fly in their ointment, or hair in their soup.[/quote] Don't you think people have their own mind to decide...... If u want to find the source ...... go after the smell. [e digicons] and you will get here <

Yes smurfing isn't only problem but if u have to wait 20-30 min for a game and (IF YOU ARE LUCKY THERE IS NO MD OR DESYNC) the whole game lasts 30 min because of uneven teams..... it kind of gets ....... LAME. PS. As of today I'm retired from SINS at least via ironcland online.

[quote]When I originally wrote this, that strategy was brand new and very few people actually knew about it. It quickly became very popular and well known, but I didn't maintain the thread because it got buried due to lack of interest.[/quote] Saw this is old post yeah but after I posted replay. PS. Sinc

Even with colonizer with no antimatter (for example 2 nd asteroid after you colonized 1st), jump colonizer to 2nd asteroid then move it around asteroid very tightly in circles or zig-zag. If you do it right colony ship will restore AM for 2nd colonization and will have enough HP to survive and jump our of gravity well to safety. Learned this while watching replay of JJ eco spot [quote] I didn't know you actually had time to get a turret up, though. [/quote] I

Build some mine layers and while disabling enemy ships with subverters lay mines where their fleet is. [e digicons]B)[/e]

[quote] will vengeance work against strikecraft? in other words, if you vengeance a ship, and strikecraft hit it, will the strikecraft take damage? [/quote] Yes it works but when u have a lot of bombers and vas bombers have 140 hp its not really practical. Especially at start with only 40% vengeance. Unless u want to buy upgrades??? Against AI i had 3 skirantras and 7 cariers with bombers. I also had tier 3 phase misiles fully researched. He had lvl

[quote] If they could then develop the ability for players to host a virtual server from their own pc [/quote] Hamachi is one of those virtual servers and i believe SINS games already running on it

The next generation as you call them will eventually get feed up of constant rape and stacking of the teams as well. And we will be where we are now. None or very few of GOOD GAMES.

Skilled players (not all might i add) are hiding their true skill under various names. While this would be OK if we would somehow be able to tell skill of the player it is not since those players love to stack teams. Now because of that games that should be even matches going for an hour or so in most cases now last about 30 min or so and team that was much better rapes other one. Thats why skilled players are leaving and thats why more will leave. Except smurfs of cours

Its sad that some of the best players of SINS are leaving community. [e digicons]:'([/e] You will be missed. I would like to thank you for all your help. It is really appreciated and as I said before perhaps if they fix smurfing and MDs and ...... and.... we wiill fight again. If you see greg[something] in any MP online game give me a call. Greg

Yet one more of great players leaving SINS comunity. [e digicons]:'([/e] Good luck from me too. And perhaps if they sort smurfing stuff and mini dumps and ..... and ..... perhaps we will fight again.

U can also build frigate carriers and fighters on them. It neutralize them completely. True they still have repair abilities but Skirantra without fighters or bombers is very weak

Probably they unsmurfed just to make a screen shoot. [e digicons]O:)[/e] Grey did u actually got that game going???? [e digicons];)[/e] Seriously I would like to get a reply of it if it's possible. Pretty PLEASE Greg

Hamachi works with sins and there are hamachi dedicated web-sites where u can find hamachi "hosted" games with names of "rooms" and passwords for them. I don't use hamachi myself anymore and I don't remember exactly how it works but if u get name of the room and pass it's fairly easy. Some of the mods like 7DS are played trough hamachi I'm certain of that.

I applaud u DT CoN. I posted something similar in one of the threads but since Forum Restore I'm not sure it still exists. If I get into the game where there are 2 noobs on each team I always try to convince skilled players of both teams to keep them alive for as long as possible for them to get longer replays. Lately I played some 1v1 or 2v2 with nobs. Sort of teaching games if u want. I pointed how i colonize and if i saw obvious mistakes i told them what they did wron

Diplomacy is Entrenchment + envoy bonuses + pacts so u can play it as entrenchment if u want to. As for returning to Entrenchment just so we prolong life of entrenchment or MP qame if u want? No i don,t agree. I admit sometimes but very rarely i do play entrenchment but only when i cannot find games on diplo server. That is one and only reason I go back

LOL yeah your right RabidRabibit. But wouldn't it be better if there actually was a game.....

Donate money TEC ability does stack so u can have 10 envoys on single planet each with donate ability on at the same time.

I like it but i don't think it will work. PUGs sometimes take ages and this adds another nuisance just to get game starting. And if game ends with desync or MD waste of time and everybody is disappointed. And in my experience TABing between the windows greatly increases MD possibility. Once I even MD on SP just because of TABing

I think GG it's a game with lots of turnarounds in it. A lot of changes who is on top and where you counter your opponent then he counters you.... In that games Power is like pendulum it swings from one team to other and back. Lately GG means one team was defeated or won. And after some games I ask myself what was good that everybody is saying GG when one team was owned in 20 or 30 min.

Would anyone want to play a game at which he sucks and in addition to that gets insulted???? I think thats main reason why online community is so small. Yes all MDs, desyncs play a role in that but in my opinion it's not the biggest problem. I think it's even below smurfing problem. Lately I hear that even some regular and skilled players are going to quit SINS because of smurfing and team stacking. Lets face it we all like to win. It's in human nature. And if u

Since Diplo and Trinity release I noticed influx of new players online. They weren't smurfs. The problem was and still is that in most games there are able to join in against skilled there was at least one player that insulted their playing style and lack of skill, some even went so far that they insulted their intelligence. PLEASE DON'T DO THAT (yes u are better but thats obvious isn't it) I always opt if i see a noob on m
