So, front loaded Pulse gun, back loaded phase missiles, side loaded flash beam. Wicked. I presume the corvettes will shoot Pulse guns on approach and phase missiles on retreat as they swarm back and forth. Indicating a fairly equal distribution of pulse gun/phase missiles on Frigs/cruisers/caps e.t.c. While using beam weaponry to engage strike squadrons. thanks for the tip Volt regarding the intended design as being anti LRM, i can certainly see their use in that role, though

right, but given a certain strategy. Say you want to use them as anti LRM, would they use Phase missiles against LRM ships, or what? So if I wanted to use them in a certain role, could I tech a damage buff (Phase missile as Vas) and be sure it would increase their damage output in the role i intended it for? Like how even though Vas HC have composite damage type , their Weapon type is wave. So if i want to increase the over all damage output of vas HCs

So from those numbers it seems Corvettes are best against Bomber, Scout, LRM, Seige. Nearly as good against Basic assault, Normal DPS against HC/fighters and bad against Capitals/titans. Armor being verylight would mean flac hard counters them, everything else deals moderate damage except Bombers or Capitals which deal least dmg Vs Corvettes. With all that in mind it seems they're theoretically best suited as anti Bomber, with a secondary of Anti Basic Assault/LRM, when no

I know from the wiki that they're strong vs. frigates, cruisers, capital ships, strike craft, titans. But that's so vague. What is their armor type and damage type, and what bonuses do they get Vs different armor types? I'm trying to get my head round counters at the moment and the comparison charts don't account for titans or corvettes as they were made before rebellion. While we're on the subject, what is the stat breakdown for titans? I presume t

critical mass of SBs + cap fleet... it'll drop like a fly. Don't feed the ability. Caps/squadrons(afaict)/stations/titans aren't effected by nano leech. SB's are anti super heavy, they get some insane damage bonus Vs Titans. Know your enemy and hit it with what hurts, throwing frigs at titans is like tryna take down a rhino with a gang of midgets... You're just gonna end up with a load of pissed off midgets.

[quote who="GoaFan77" reply="1" id="3175285"]Here's a good explanation. https://forums.sinsofasolarempire.com/423345 FYI that refinery ability is near useless, and the Advent have a bit harder time with trade too because they don't have any trade upgrades. But trade is so important every player needs to learn how best to use it, so its a good question. [/quote] Well that explained a few things to me. Thanks!

i find the early game the most challenging and hectic time of the whole match, your apm and multitasking demands are huge early game, it dies down progressively from there bar the battle micro in late mid / end game. what are you actually doing early game?

I was playing an MP game last night. Me and my mate against AI. We started on opposite sides of a very large single star map so rushed phase network tech. We both got to it fairly quickly and as Rebels I also trained Shared Network. As soon as it was trained he was able to jump across to my side of the map, but whatever I tried I couldn't do the same. We realized we actually had to get envoys to each other, raise relations and create the phase pact, which is a fairl

[quote who="dblade2" reply="11" id="3174163"]I'm brand new to Sins. I like this style of game, but seriously suck at them. I set my first game to easy and was outpaced by a large margin in everything (based on the efficiency conveyed in the end game graphs). I think AI in easy mode could use some random arbitrary delays to somewhat mimic a new player *thinking* about what to do next. Maybe that could help a little. On my second game, I picked a 3 player

Might be able to take down a fleet of frigs/cruisers, but my level 7 reb titan went toe to toe with the TEC titan for a good half an hour with no winner. In that time the TEC titan also took out the Star Base that was augmenting the titan's front, had to pull out eventually just couldn't break it's tank and my titan was needed in other places. 1. reb starbases aren't OP, decent sized fleet will floor it in a matter of seconds if done right. &nbsp

I've been searching for a good hour, read the manual and the wiki, all i've got is some vague description about it being 'hidden in the starbase management window' from the wiki. It shouldn't be so hard to find. I've got a game paused with a starbase ready for it to be trained. Can't find it anywhere on the tech tree or anywhere in the starbase upgrades window. I've looked and looked and looked. Am i really this bli

weird. I own trinity. I payed $29 dollars which comes to about 18 pounds sterling, for a game this good? I'm really not complaining. I payed for the new ships and game mechanics, the updated graphics and the larger community, bringing this game into the current age with an open opportunity to move with the modders as they make this new rendition even better. Compared to todays prices on games. The price of a few beers and a packet of fags well spent imo.

Hi there. I would like to know if there is a known collection of mods that graphically overhaul Sins. I have trinity with the latest version included as I re-downloaded the installer earlier today. It seems that all the mods that effect graphics also seem to effect other aspects of the game. Seven Deadly Sins is a good example. There is also Bailknights mod, but that is pretty outdated and has been incorporated/built upon via many other mods. I wo

Thats the link i download Bailknights Mod, for Diplomacy V 1.01 I'm having another bit of an issue though, "LazySumos_Minimal" UI mod doesn't work. You have to extract the Mod folder into your installation directory, after backing up our installation directoy you run a 'bat' file in the mod folder and it is meant to do whatever it does to change the UI to a minimal UI. It doesn't work for me, i've followed the steps to a T and nothing happens to the UI in game.

this is a quote from the 7 deadly sins mod page "Dozens of custom ship models, including those from HammerSun, i Nert, EvilJedi, Kiedjor, DANMAN, and the X3: Reunion development team." I have my graphics setting on highest and play at 1280*1024 with bloom enable and on board Anti Aliasing , Still, it doesn't seem as though it looks as nice as the one on the video, i'll show you. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5azoHPU6udA&feature=related
